This elderly woman was one of the leaders of demonstrations against the Vietnam War in 1968, when she was a student at Columbia University. Today, 56 years later, she returns to the same place and says, "Palestine must be free."
Her name was Saly, she was five years old. She was like any child, she probably liked to play with her toys, she was probably learning to read, she probably like to spend time with her family and friends.
Maybe she would have been a doctor, or a farmer, or a engineer. Maybe she would have advanced the field of physics or medicine, written a best seller novel or stared in a major movie production; Or she might have had a quieter life, the world might have never known her name, but her friends and family would have and that might have been enough.
But no one will ever know now because Israel took those lives away from her, the tens of thousands of possibles that lay before each child burning like candle lights in cool summer night sniffed out in an instant. A last story shared by thousands of Palestinian children in Gaza.
If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:
youtube
While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.
Please follow, share, and interact with Madleen @palestinianmother's videos on tiktok to help bring more awareness to her campaign. Here is the link to her tiktok page:

the university which administers the Pulitzer prizes is not allowing press on campus, to make sure nobody on-site can document what is happening.
the nypd threatened student journalists qnd their dean with arrest if they leave a building named after Joseph Pulitzer.
at this point it isn't even worth remarking on the sheer horror, the baffling irony of it all.
entire new york roads have been closed to traffic so that nobody can prevent the world's largest police force's brutalization of students protesting THEIR tution fres and tax dollars contributing to killing kids.
all of this to... keep investing in an apartheid regime.
Columbia University would rather risk their students getting murdered than divest from genocide...
Dreams and aspirations once reached the heavens, but when the drums of war sounded, fires came from where we least expected, snatching away dreams, hopes, futures, and children's toys. They left tears and screams, and hearts agonizing over their future.
My eldest daughter, Sham, asks me, 'Has my doll died? Who will bury her? Will she go to heaven? She was so beautiful, will she live another beautiful life there?'
Oh Allah, how can I answer her, with words that touch her sweetheart? Will my answer make her forget what she saw?
I drew her a story in a notebook and told her, 'This is your doll, she's traveling now and will return when the war is over. Don't worry, she'll come back with a beautiful dress even more beautiful than the one that burned, and she'll come back with love to accompany you as you grow up together.'
What are those drops on my cheek? Oh Allah, they are tears. Where did they come from? No, no, I can't be crying!
Sham fell asleep, but there is so much more that cannot be expressed...
Let's start by donating to change the lives of my children for the better.

For 6 months, Israel has been committing genocide in Palastine. They have also been attacking Lebanon and Syria, while sending their sugar Daddy after Yemen.
All this US politicians refer to as self-defense.
But when Iran retaliates after Israel bombed their embassy, they say Iran is "escalating tensions."
