Dear Palestine,
At times, it pains me to think that in your world, we might seem like mere shadows. My heart aches as I acknowledge the profound failures of humanity, the wounds inflicted upon you that may be too deep for forgiveness. They’ve seized your land, torn apart your people, and subjected you to air, land, and sea blockades, surrounded by high fences and unyielding cameras, a constant intrusion into your existence. Poverty and unemployment shroud your land in a cloak of despair, and the haunting echoes of PTSD haunt the innocent minds of your children, robbed of the joyous innocence that should define their youth.
Before October 7th, the world remained oblivious to your struggles. But now, we stand with you. We amplify your voice, boycott, and march tirelessly for your freedom. Yet, a lingering sense of helplessness persists within us. You, however, have become the embodiment of resilience, revealing the world’s blatant unfairness. The so-called human rights are but lies, international laws nonexistent, and leaders mere puppets in a tangled system. You’ve shown us that heroes emerge without capes and that the path to freedom is paved through unwavering resistance. In a world that appears desolate, you breathe life into the spirit of endurance. Know that our faith in your strength is unwavering, transcending the destructive power of any bomb.
As we extend our feeble expressions of solidarity, know that our faith in your indomitable strength transcends the destructive might of any bomb. May the somber echoes of our shared sorrow bind us in this mournful dance, a macabre waltz of despair.
In the tapestry of human history, the indomitable forces of resistance and resilience emerge as enduring threads, weaving a narrative that transcends the ebb and flow of time. Regardless of the challenges that cast their shadows across the landscape of existence, the unwavering truth remains: your resilience will always prevail.
With a heavy heart,
Sami
