✍Letter in solitude about Palestine✍

🕵I only know that we have the right to defend our right to defend Palestine.

🫵I was born in a country where violence is part of the course and its history, where pain is an anchored and unavoidable element and reaches everyone, even if many have not suffered, directly or indirectly, a kidnapping, a massacre, a murder, a forced disappearance, a displacement; even if many live privileged and enthroned lives and even commit or promote or support those violations of human rights.

🫵Anyone would say then that nothing can astonish me anymore, hurt me, that nothing can go through me more. But it is not like that. What is happening in Palestine, an ancient and an unending pain, has become unbearable in these last two years. The frustration, the rage and the impotence of seeing how a population is annihilated in the most cruel, collective, media and morbid way, have come to surpass me, to overwhelm me, to despise a fraction of humanity.

🫵Nothing can explain or justify how a being like Netanyahu can continue so blithely in his genocidal task, with the protection of Trump, Starmer and other world leaders and with the media even avoiding the word genocide, with the politicians justifying the unnameable. Sometimes I feel that I can no longer bear it, that it is not enough to go out to the street and demonstrate, that it is not enough to sign letters or write about this nightmare.

🫵I think that all the countries that are supportive, humanitarian, respectful of life, should unite to become an unbeatable force that not only sends flotillas with food, but also entire armies that protect the suffering and agonising Palestinian population and that only allow life to reign. What has to happen for this horror to stop? How to go beyond the diplomatic and turn into a fact the capture of this genocidal one?

🫵How to make the millionaires and billionaires of the world also pay for the responsibility that belongs to them in this, since their networks have become police who lift up and normalise the destruction of Palestine?

🫵How to face that growing repression everywhere in the world that seeks to silence those who shout "genocidal", "I am with Palestine", "Free Palestine"..., those who demand an end to the destruction and elimination of this people? How to face that gradual loss of the right to protest and to defend the violated and oppressed or stigmatised or disappeared? They are sinking us all into those stagnant and dark waters that intend to end all the freedoms historically achieved.
🫵Today the genocidal one and his accomplices speak of Nobel Peace and travel freely through all the geographies. But those who ask that their thanatic carnival cease are imprisoned and labelled as terrorist.

🫵A hypocritical world, where democracy agonises while the media transmit bombings and prepare calmly for a massive funeral.

🫵The crying is inevitable. Today I will die twice in this pain of some and others that is impossible to stop.

🫵 “They did not only trample on my rights, but also those of my husband, my children and my mother-in-law.” How long can a mother be forced not to see her children? Her story was heard by The Prisma a few years ago.

Despite the fact that the governments never apologised, she will not forget what happened. “They did not only trample on my rights, but also those of my husband, my children and my mother-in-law.”
