To my Palestinian kin, I am so sorry, I love you, and grieve with you. For three weeks, Israel has cut off the food, water, and power to the Gaza Strip where 2.3 million people live under brutal occupation. For three weeks Israel has starved and poisoned and dropped the equivalent of a nuclear bomb on these people, in the form of a relentless aerial bombardment. This wholesale mass murder has been cheered on with vile rhetoric from both Israeli and Western officials and journalists openly calling Palestinians animals, or “the children of darkness” as Netanyahu put it; openly calling for the total elimination of what we have all complacently called “the world’s largest open-air prison” these past two decades. A place home to over a million children.
