What a powerful, moving testimony - and although it may seem wholly strange to use this word, even beautiful.
What Zahra wrote in this childhood memory is so devastatingly true today: "I was a four- or five-year-old girl, about 22 years ago, sitting next to my father while the television was showing images of children in Gaza, images that I later realized have never stopped, we just sometimes look away from them so we can live."
Solidarity is so vital but so complex: seeing but looking away is part of it.

Absolutely.
Not bad for someone who can't find words!
I appreciate your posts. They cut through the "aboutisms" directly to experience.
