A mean leans on a electric post

It’s been a year of bombardments, more deaths, and more horror.

And the world is still blind and questioning if it is a genocide.

The world still picks and chooses whose lives are more important.

And the world still looks at Palestinians’ lives as less valued.

We pray this month not for Palestine but for those who choose to be blind, for those who opt to be silent, and for those who believe that this oppression will not cross the border and reach them.

We pray for your awakening to see not only through your eyes but also through your soul and to remember what Martin Luther King once said: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
