[we need some good news]

In the old city, or Casco Viejo, bills addressing the genocide are pasted on the facades between shop windows; “Boikota Israel” (Boycott Israel) are widely sprayed on the walls of apartment blocks.

On the balconies of the colourful apartments overlooking the Nervion River, Palestinian flags are draped from every second or third apartment.

Every flag that flutters in the wet breeze announces itself as proof of life.

The level of pro-Palestine solidarity is unlike any other city I have visited in the western world over the course of the genocide.
