October 7th, Three Years

Hatred, greed, and dominance

are never on the right side of history, or humanity.

Three years of unimaginable grief. Three years of children, (families- people ) growing up beneath bombs instead of stars, of families searching for loved ones, of homes becoming memories, of names becoming numbers.

I have refused to look away.

Bearing witness may feel small, but history has shown us that silence is what allows cruelty to grow. To witness is to say: I see you. Your life matters. Your suffering matters. You will not disappear without being remembered.

The easiest response to violence is indifference. The harder, more human response is to keep our hearts open when the world tells us to close them.

No nation, no government, no ideology, no religion, and no cause can justify the destruction of innocent lives. Dominance, greed, hatred, and violence have never written history’s noblest chapters. Compassion has. Courage has. The people who chose humanity over fear have.

What is happening in Gaza, in Palestine is a genocide.
