What a beautiful sad article that reminds us all that human consciousness and spirit and memory will burn in our hearts for those who need to be free and safe and sovereign for all the terrible crimes that were perpetrated in trying to destroy Palestine and its people.

Feeling the weight of each sentence. So heavy as I reached the end. May we see a kinder world full of love and hope for Palestinians everywhere, and justice for all people who are oppressed.

Like the best poetry, beautiful and heart-wrenching, especially for somebody who involuntarily paid for the wrench.
