In a secret location due to right-wing attacks in previous years, bereaved families recognized each other’s grief and called for a shared future.

I have so much admiration for everyone involved in this. The stories of loss are unbearable.

But what is really, clearly unbearable, for Zionists, is to see that it’s possible to be scared and angry and still recognize the humanity in everyone, and seek peace over vengence.

It’s no wonder Zionists hate this event so much. Can you imagine seeing others demonstrate the courage and moral integrity you’ve abandoned? And knowing that it’s proof that contrary to your constant claims, you have no entitlement to your cruelty: you’re just a hateful, selfish monster?

It’s an incredible display of the power of unbreakable hope. May we all find peace and success soon, soon, soon.

I dont care about israeli loses in “conflict”. I dont give a fuck about their mourning, they are occupiers and they get only a fraction of what they deserve

I could quote to you parts of the article that explain why this kind of attitude is ridiculous and disconnected from the reality of Palestinians and Israelis that organize with personal danger against the apartheid and occupation but I’d end up copying the entire article. Go read it before playing the edgelord.

Palestinian here. FUCK that shit.

Israelis are occupying our land and genociding us in the open. These attempts to paint them as equal victims only perpetuate the genocide and colonization of Palestine.

Anything less than allowing us our legal right of return and giving us reparations is just letting them get away with their decades of crimes because some of us dared to fight back.

We call Palestinians engaging in these events collaborators, or generously we could use the Zionist/American favorable term “useful idiots.”

Imagine a woman being publicly beat by her husband for decades and finally decides enough is enough and gouges his eye, and then holds an event to mourn both her scars/wounds and his eye. Would you be celebrating it, or would you say “hold up, something isn’t right here”?

You could also read the article you shame people and declare they haven’t read:

On the other hand, some pro-Palestinian voices have suggested that the ceremony advances a liberal Zionist narrative of false equivalence between Israeli and Palestinian suffering.

the only ones in this conflict losing a future (and their lives) here are palestinians though.
