The whole world is watching in silent horror. At first I thought it was silent indifference but look: all you have to do is say the word "Gaza" and it's like the entire room you're in is plunged under water. Everyone drops their gazes and looks sick, silence settles like a dust carpet.

But this is good, see, because most people only need a kick up the ass to turn their silent horror into loud horror. The outrage and disgust is THERE. This is why it's so important to act, to speak out. If every person who felt horrified about this was to act we could see so much change. It starts with you, though. Lead by example

#if i hadn't paid attention to this and completely disengaged the outcome would he exactly the same #the same amount of people would die and the same amount of lives would be destroyed #but if every single person like me had stayed quiet then yeah fuck knows how this would be #stop thinking of yourself as an individual with individual power and start thinking of us as a collective #what we (the people the proletariat the masses whatever you want to call us) can do #i'm so sick of people going omg its so horrible i wish i could do something but i can't 😔🥺#yeah you can we all can and the sooner people do that the better #you can't have the crowds without the individuals #idk. im just frustrated because everyone i know is horrified and everything but only very very few are actually speaking up #honestly in this case id say there's no such thing as performative activism #any activism and awareness helps okay?#palestine #gaza #israel #free palestine
