And What Is It That We Say About History And Learning About It. We Learn From The Past So We Don't Stay

And what is it that we say about history and learning about it. We learn from the past so we don't stay in the cycle of destruction. Youd think that if we were able to show the world of the damage thats happening through pictures of destruction, that we would try to raise awareness and spread the word.

Guess that was naive of me.

A group of four men gather around the body of a child. The little boy is dead and in the arms of two of the men. He is wrapped in a blue sheet. Text on image reads: BEFORE OCTOBER 7TH

A father holds his baby girl in his arms. Around him are other people. A soldier holds a gun against the little girl and her father. Text reads: BEFORE OCTOBER 7TH

A group of soldiers stand with rifles. Behind them are tanks and Israeli flags. In front of them is a wired fence. And in front of that wired fence is a little boy getting ready to throw a rock. Text reads: BEFORE OCTOBER 7TH

Soldier walking into a house. He holds a rifle against the older man opening the door to his home. Text reads: BEFORE OCTOBER 7TH

Soldiers hold rifles in a young man's face. Another man holds him back. Text on image reads: 'BEFORE OCTOBER 7TH'

A little boy sits on the floor and looks up at a faceless soldier, who holds a rifle in his face. Text on image reads, "BEFORE OCTOBER 7TH."

An older woman wearing a white hijab screams out, her hands clasping her head. In front of her, two soldiers walk. One of them casually chews gum while his hands are on his rifle. Text on the image reads, 'BEFORE OCTOBER 7TH'

A journalist wearing a press jacket and holding a camera over his head. His head is injured and bleeding. One of his arms is bleeding badly. Behind him, there's blood on the floor and people running. There is text on the image that says 'Gaza 2004'

Repost of Instagram post by alessandra_sanguinetti:

“In 2004 I worked as an intern in Newsweek and had to go through the wires coming in from the Middle East.

The Iraq war was raging. Israel was committing its routine violations and killings.

The images were devastating and unequivocally condemning of both the USA and Israel, but I remember the editors would reject all my picks and demand images of burnt cars or vague images of destruction.

So I brought a hard drive and collected everything they didn't publish.

It was my first live glimpse of the lack of ethics or integrity in most US media.

Not the journalists on the ground, but of the senior editors making the calls - in their self important glass cubicles.

And no, to the cynics out there..it's not all too complicated to discuss on social media.

Social media is the only reason we know what's happening in Palestine.

And the only reason mainstream news has to keep up and sprinkle some actual news now and then.

Meanwhile we are seeing much less footage coming out of Gaza - Israel has been killing off all the journalists.

This is terrifying.”

Marriage in Gaza has many facets: it has hardship, it has longing, it has sadness and pain, it has fatigue, laughter, and playing with what we cannot change and what we are trying to live with, it has the smells of time and the memories of my grandfathers and grandmothers, the generation of the first displaced people in Palestine. 💔🇵🇸

Gaza is resisting, the people of Gaza are resisting, the child of Gaza is resisting, the sheikh of Gaza is resisting, the women of Gaza are resisting, and every race in Gaza is resisting. do what you can for me 💔🇵🇸 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
