Once far enough removed, everyone will be properly aghast that any of this was allowed to happen. But for now, it’s just so much safer to look away, to keep one’s head down, periodically checking on the balance of polite society to see if it is not too troublesome yet to state what to the conscience was never unclear. El Akkad, Omar. One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.

You knew they were going to kill you
EVERYONE in Gaza seems to have a premonition of their death. How could they not as bombs continue to rain down on them as they try to shelter in tents or the rubble?

Quaker Tent Solidarity update
I plan to set up a tent at our Quaker meetinghouse as a symbolic gesture, but one that I hope will encourage Friends to take a closer look at what is happening in Gaza. The mainstream media, and the government, are doing all they can to suppress news of the ongoing atrocities.

This is usually justified as a charge of "antisemitism", which it is not.

Stop Famine in Gaza
One thing that hasn't changed is the humanitarian crisis there.

Anti-Palestinian Racism
This visual in our series on anti-Palestinian racism captures the systemic abuse of disciplinary measures against Palestinian students and students who express solidarity with Palestinians on college campuses, creating an environment of fear that isolates them from campus life. Anti-Palestinian racism is one tool that reinforces a structure designed to weaken Palestinian resistance and obscure global awareness of the Palestinian struggle for justice and liberation.
