It's worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It's that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.
It's not enough to be a silent witness. Powerless, inanimate, waiting for others to stop this madness.
Someday soon, what’s been obvious to so many of us from the beginning will be understood by everyone: that if a city can be reduced to rubble with its people held captive inside, if they can be starved in full view of the world, everything is permitted, and this threatens us all.
