Yes. Actions like these. Don't stop. And thankyou for naming and honouring each of these beautiful people, so much of the talk is abstract, and that in itself is a weapon to dehumanise us.

When the US ordered the slow death of half a million children - on purpose - in Iraq, we never got to know anyone. Numbers are the worst invention of language distraction. Efficiency. The machine

Names, places, relationships, memories and loves. Nothing is too small. Because they are the biggest things. It is these realities of the heart they are terrified of.

Name them. Don't stop.

It is so obscene -- and those in government go on saying they are 'heart-broken' -- 'if only Hamas would surrender it could all stop...' -- I wonder what, if anything, it will take to make these people see that THEY are the ones doing this? The disociative thinking is so extreme -- if a private individual talked like this they would be commited for psychiatric care, but governments just butcher language to mask (they imagine) the butchering of children. And they are doing it on our names with our taxation :( We are living in evil times.
