“Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living”
Community gathers to hold an intimate vigil at the Torch of Friendship in Miami for those murdered by the settler colonial state of Israel. Those wishing to mourn rather then rage take it back to the Torch.
Vigils at the Torch are always surreal. A hallowed ground, soaked with too much history recent and past, the tourists and transplants typically strolling by thin out and traffic finally dies down.
Maybe the ethereal is what drove some to congregate here. Genocide is called a limit event because the violence is beyond the limits of human comprehension. 1,400 children dead, 75 years of Nakba.
Surrounded by statues of evil men, a torch dedicating JFK’s imperialism in Latin America, and a park equally known for corruption as the bodies that wash up on the sea walls, this isn’t friendly territory.
Grief itself becomes a revolutionary act. A spot in Miami where one can stand and proclaim truth: Israel is committing a genocide in order to annex all of Palestine.
¡La lucha sigue! ¡Viva! Bimini ➡️ Palestine 🇵🇸
