A Palestinian mother in Gaza: “My children have become skeletal, skin and bone. Even the slightest effort makes them dizzy. They are asking for food, and I have nothing to give. I can’t lie and say I’ll bring them something when I know I won’t be able to.”

Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Ζούμε την εποχή του απόλυτου τυχοδιωκτισμού, όπου θέσεις μεταλλάσσονται αναλόγως ακροατηρίου και συνθηκών. Ενός τυχοδιωκτισμού που εμπεδώνει πως τα αυτονόητα δεν είναι και τόσο αυτονόητα τελικά.

Κρίμα και άδικο να χάνονται γυναίκες στη γέννηση του παιδιού τους στον 21 αιώνα.
Τα συλλυπητήρια μου στην οικογένεια, στον σύζυγο και τα παιδιά της.
Αιώνια θάναι η μνήμη της στις καρδιές όλων μας που θα συνεχίσουμε να παλεύουμε για τον Ακάμα και την επανένωση του τόπου μας που τόσο ήθελε.
Τα συλλυπητήρια μου στην οικογένεια, στον σύζυγο και τα παιδιά της.
Αιώνια θάναι η μνήμη της στις καρδιές όλων μας που θα συνεχίσουμε να παλεύουμε για τον Ακάμα και την επανένωση του τόπου μας που τόσο ήθελε.
