Must you be so noisy, disturbing my peace? You make me uncomfortable, with your needy photos. Don’t play dumb, you know perfectly well what I mean. Picture after picture, of your bloody selves. Of parents holding you, you, dead children. Of you, children, holding your dead parents,
thank you. People shouldn't be turning away. It's why a LOT of people are in the streets, organizing, awakening to the lies & propaganda being fed to keep them blind & comfortable.
I don’t think this is primarily about Isralis. It’s about us, Germans, British, Belgian, USAmericans, … us, the bourgeoisie, the middle class, the moderate, the civilized … us, that say “Why can’t they live in peace?” or “I wish them peace!” while meaning “I want my peace and not be disturbed by the consequences of my lifestyle!”
“Do not think yourself better because you are killing these people at a distance, and with great ease, and can defend yourself by saying that it was their fault, and that they were terrible people.
“Instead, listen to the words of your brother’s lips. Listen to his song, his story. Hear what he has to say. Know that he too is human, he too has dreams and loves, fears and hopes.
“Know that you are not above him. And know that the evil you do, you do to yourself.”
-Thomas Merton, Chant to be used in Processions around a site with Furnaces

I’m on the bus reading this, and I’m weeping.
I’m sorry and thank you for being so truly human.
Powerful.
PERFECT
Okay, this hurts.
Thank you!
The caption is bullshit: Israelis never say “please “.

Indeed!

Here's the reason our taxes are paying for Israel's barbaric GENOCIDE!
Beautiful … thank you for sharing … Thomas Merton was quite a man
Yes every day
Yes but… I was writing from the perspective of anyone who wants to avoid uncomfortable truth.
Oh my Lord forgive us. Tho it is unforgiveable.
Very sad and poignant. Thank you for caring. It’s hard
