It still haunts me that a concentration camp is there in gaza and still people are searching for concentration camp in China with powerful satellites… I didn’t know the whole situation until this week. My world just turned upside down.
You’ve been learning these things that recently? On one hand wow, that’s a rapid development and I commend your mental strength. One the other hand, thats a lot of your world to lose all at once, and I hope you’re alright. It’s horrifiyng the first time you notice, really notice, social reality reconfiguring itself like clockwork into a carnival of bloodlust, and you see people you thought were good turn into fascists, and you look backwards and begin to see the ocean of horror and lies…it’s like looking up at the sky and finally seeing the mindless, world-eating demon with eight billion hooks that you’ve been trained all your life to ignore. It’s a horror almost too massive to comprehend
I learned about Palestine by reading the graphic novel by journalist Joe Sacco called Palestine. Despite being a graphic novel/“comic” it is based on his actual trips to Gaza and the west bank around 1991 and interviews with Palestinians.
