Laughed. Someone laughed at a dead child. This is what we are facing. This isn’t about ‘the middle east’: this is about humanity. Vast swathes of our fellow humans have lost theirs. Your brother, your neighbour, your colleague, your peers: many of them would now shrug or laugh.

I was lucky to have a sneak peek at this before release: it is such a beautiful weaving of history and personal story. Highly recommend, especially if you have little ones! Congratulations Shelina!

This seems trivial. But these acts of defiance, of subverting narratives of victimhood, of asserting their right to life and to play and to joy - they are a big FUCK YOU to Israel, and it’s beautiful. This is what they are attempting to destroy.
