I will not look away. I will bear witness. We all must.
Our obligation is to care and to risk whatever we must to help our brothers and sisters. We have to fight against this not just for Palestinians, but for our own sake, for our own humanity!

“We must all learn to live together as brothers or we will all perish together as fools. We are tied together in the single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality. And whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the way God’s universe is made; this is the way it is structured.”
~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
