You killed a Palestinian child today.




They shuffle their feet in inches over hours as the metal barriers coral their frail bodies toward death. Destined for an agonizing demise, they can only hope that today is not their last day on this small swatch of stripped and stolen land. These were the people the world turned away from. These were children branded insignificant. These are the children being picked off by Israeli bullets while walking to school, while sleeping, while playing, while waiting for hours to cross a prison-like check point to go from home to school, these are children being picked off by Israeli bullets.

And it is all o.k.

silence makes it so.
