We are with you

Dear Gaza,

What can I say except I am with you? I hear you. I see you. I stand by you.

Your pain is deafening. It has seeped into the earth, down to the core of this planet. I hear it roar under me with every step I take. I will listen to it. I will not cover my ears.

You are the first thing I think about when I wake up, and the last thing I think about when I go to sleep. I will not stop thinking of you.

The images of your broken, bloodied children fills my mind. Fire and smoke and charred flesh covers my screen. I will not close my eyes.

Fear looms over me, the fear of what they will do to me. I will not stay silent.

They want to erase you. Blow you away like dust. But they cannot erase you from our hearts, our minds, our bodies. They can never silence our love for you. We are with you. We stand in defiance with you.

All around the world, we are with you. Oh Gaza, we are with you.

Yours in solidarity,

Anonymous, England
