We’re still in shock. My eight-year-old daughter can no longer sleep.
I tried to comfort her, to help her sleep, but she kept waking up crying. She told me, “Mama, every time I close my eyes, I feel like another bomb is falling on us.”
I lay beside her to soothe her. This morning, I discovered she had wet herself in fear.
My 12-year-old, Saida, keeps asking me, “Mama, will the planes come back again?” I have no answer for her.
How can I reassure her when I no longer believe I will wake up tomorrow?
I looked into my husband’s weary, burdened eyes and asked him, “When will this nightmare end?” He replied, “We are alone in this world. No one cares.”
And somehow Israel is still incredibly well funded and well supplied.
It’s crazy to me that Biden fully supported Ukraine fighting for it’s survival while also supplying Israel with everything it needed to pave over Palestine.
Like it doesn’t make any fucking sense.
Follow the money.
