The Star Thrower
One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking up and gently throwing things into the ocean.
Approaching the boy he asked, “Young man, what are you doing?”
“Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die,” the boy replied.
The man laughed to himself and said, “Do you realize there are miles of miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make any difference.”
After listening politely, the boy bent down to pick up another starfish and threw it into the surf. Then, he smiled at the man and said, “I made a difference to that one.”
An Egyptian vendor in Upper Egypt throws his produce onto aid trucks upon learning that they are headed to Gaza.
Despite the traitorous coordination and normalization efforts of the Arab regimes, the people remain dedicated to Palestine.

#palestine#egypt#free palestine#free gaza#gaza#makes me happy#i did gasp a little at the fruit falling in the road at the end ngl but idk this man seems like a sweet guy#also that's called the starfish philosophy and it's been important to me like. forever#i think that's what it's called anyway. that's what i always called it at least lol#but yeah just idk. especially seeing so many people who either support the occupation directly or somehow don't care say shit like#“boycotting doesn't do anything. donating five dollars isn't doing anything. sharing that post isn't doing anything”#are the handful of fruits going to save all of gaza from starvation? of course not#But it'll save a Gazan mother and baby by helping her nurse or a child that hasn't eaten for 6 days. somebody's grandpa or best friend#I think most have probably heard the starfish story i literally don't know but even visually seeing this i was like#yo that's the starfish guy its him#also i found it really sweet when the guys patted his back and smiled. like idk it was likely also to let him know they were behind him#but it was the energy too. like you could tell they were clearly proud of him and it made their day better
