It is the day 580 of Palestinian genocide.
A young woman is walking across a flat tarmac roof of an building in Uk. She is wearing orange overalls and a snazzy smile on her face. On her arm is swinging a fire extinguisher. We don’t see her using in on the video clip but we see the contents of it on the edges of the building. There is red everywhere. She has spread red paint all over GRiD Defence Systems walls.
Why am I watching her instead the videos that come directly out of Palestine? Why don’t I keep on watching people begging for help, for bombs stopping falling, for self governance, for water, for piece, for food, for one more day of life, for dear after so much pain, for attention and for action? Why don’t I act? Why not enough? Why do I with so many other let this happen?
