I know that being forced to watch abuse and atrocity gives you PTSD too, but it feels shameful to admit that I can't do this anymore when nothing we onlookers feel could come close to what Palestinians are going through.

at some point Becky asks Darryl what he would call her in Tamil. he tells her that he will call her toli and explains that it means friend. Becky goes home and looks it up and it does mean friend, but it can also mean companion or girlfriend. the next day she tells him that she knows what she will call him, and when he asks her what she says en vitu. he almost cries because in Tamil it means my home.
