I wonder whether the photographer/uploader of this photo does in fact know how wrong what he is witnessing is and while unable to extricate himself from the reality in a more direct way, feels the need to expose it. Imagine being a man with a conscience in his situation. How would you try to resist considering that direct disobedience would probably have negative repercussions for you? It’s very easy to say that you’d stand by your morals and resist in such a situation but I wonder how many really would. Not trying to make excuses for him or those committing these atrocities but worth considering perhaps.
Thank you for your article. I wanted to ask if you have any article on how Palestinian people view the meaning of martyrdom ? It would be interesting to compare. Thank you
I just found a sector on Al Jazeera, saying that 14-18 years old boys ready to die as martyrs as long as they fight IDF. Isn’t it concerning, given that Israel retreated from Gaza in 2005. Aren’t those teenage fighters later will be pictures as innocent children? How can the whole situating get improved if even kids want to die for the cause they believe in?
Your writing evokes deep emotion that’s also grounding. I’m really enjoying it. Thank you

Thank you. This is most useful. I will make sure to check all of these reports.
