I’m smiling but I feel broken on the inside and in real life. Exactly 11 months ago today I was on Capitol Hill for the same exact reason I was today only this time hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are dead because Israel murdered them. Not before they terrorized them however in whatever cruel way it was as we have seen with our own eyes every day for what’s about to be a year soon. The most recent death toll in Gaza is estimated to be 335,500 per the @guardian. You can read more about that here if you want 👇🏽 theguardian.com/commentisfree/… We had over 500 advocates on the hill for Palestine Advocacy Day today. Our focus this year was on ending military aid to Israel, restoring @UNRWA funding, opposing harmful ICC sanction bills, and urging @POTUS to investigate the tragic murder of American citizen Aysenur Ezgi. Some members of congress were more willing to listen this year than they were last year, some are still & even more ignorant than they were before. On either occasion, the fight for my people's rights is endless and a promise that all our ancestors and people taught me to carry. We are crying for justice and justice is non-negotiable. No one can demand peace from the Palestinians if there is no justice for the Palestinians and we will never stop fighting for our people. They will never be left behind or forgotten. We will hold every single one of their killers accountable. Every day till liberation.
