I have a lot on my mind and I know I have to choose my words carefully but it's getting harder to comprehend the magnitude of what's happening in Palestine. I've never been one to fall into the traps of cynicism but I have been witnessing a culmination of events on all fronts in Palestine that I now have to grapple with the fact that this is, in fact, a version of the Nakba unlike anything we've seen. Don't get me wrong, I obviously don't believe the Nakba started and ended in 1948, but this is the most horrifying episode of the ongoing genocide and Palestinians are having to fight so many different fronts simultaneously, from Gaza to Jenin to Washington. The only way out is to impose sanctions and arms embargo, but equally important now is for Palestinians to actually unite as one, and that includes the diaspora. Yes, we've seen better advocacy and support in recent months than we have seen in decades, but the momentum has very obviously died down and it's been very, very disheartening to see.
