The most interfaith environment i have been in for a while has been my local college encampment in solidarity with Palestine. I just sang the Shabbat prayers and stood around Muslims during their evening prayer and said Vespers for those martyred. A child did a cartwheel and laughed during the moment of silence, and I rejoice that she knows joy and safety. I read Letter from a Birmingham Jail this morning—my grandfather's copy—and the reverend already said everything we need to hear, it seems. Go sow holy tension where it deserves to be seen. Keeping vigil with the possibility of arrest may be the closest I have come to Jesus' last days. He is dying in his homeland, over and over, and he was there on that grass, too.
The Israeli occupation has a line of tanks around the Egyptian boarder which is the only means of evacuation for Palestinians. This blocked border also means there is no way for humanitarian aid to enter. 1.5 million are in Rafah which is being currently targeted and carpet bombed by Israel. There is no safe place anywhere in the Gaza Strip, they have nowhere to go. Again, 1.5 million are stuck in Rafah, living in tents and trapped.
It had been 216 days of this genocide. Israel refuses to agree to any ceasefire deal, and over 34,500 Palestinians killed.
Keep all eyes on Rafah. Eyes on Palestine.
