A Picture Is Worth
A Picture Is Worth
Please note this post focuses on the current genocide of the Palestinian people.
This post contains sensitive content on genocide, including photographs of the victims beforehand.
Sometimes words aren’t enough. I prefer words, but, it seems that some can see the headlines of the constant murder of civilians in Gaza and not care. I couldn’t help but be brought to the thought of using images to teach. These images are all provided to us by Martyrs of Gaza. You can support their mission here. Please feel free to use the comments section after the post to link to any other awareness raising or aid groups.
If you can bear it now, please take a moment to see the faces of these innocent young souls. Say something. Many people still do not know what is happening. Use these pictures.
At over 25,000 dead, these faces represent only a fraction of those killed. Please do whatever you can to help others not suffer the same fate. There are so many people there right now wondering if they will make it through the day. They deserve to live.
This is not in support of Israeli citizen deaths. However, in general, when talking to people who support Palestine, I don’t find that they support the death of Israeli citizens. Shockingly the opposite is not true. Especially here in America, many conservatives that I come across show complete lack of care for the death of Palestinians. Perhaps, a face may help.

Thank you Brooke. Thank you. People need to see the faces of death. Not just in this slaughter, but always. It makes it much more human and personal. Thank you yet one more time.
Thanks for this. I'm Jewish but very sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians which has put me at odds with a lot of my Jewish friends. I can't understand how a country formed in response to Hitler's genocide of the Jews could turn around and commit genocide against another people. I have a Palestinian friend at work with cousins in Gaza. So far his cousins have survived but he sent me a picture of the tent camp where they now live since their city was destroyed. I'm embarrassed that the US is still funding this genocide.
