And a couple other thoughts. Mr Bushnell's sacrifice and martyrdom hasn't left my mind for a moment.
He died with freedom and justice in his heart, mind, and soul.
Aaron Bushnell LIVES in the hearts of every person who loves peace in this country.
Does he live in yours?
I'm #FastForGaza every Thursday until a permanent ceasefire in #Palestine
Since last Thursday:
* Israel blocking aid from entering Palestine has triggered the expected famine
* 18 children (that we know of) have died of starvation
* Palestinians trying to reach aid in North Gaza are being massacred daily by Israeli soldiers
* WaPo reports Biden has shipped weapons w/o Congress to Israel ~100x since last October
* 68% of Israelis support blocking aid from Palestine
I say "that we know of" because these are the kids that were brought to children's hospitals, which don't have food to give kids, so they've been trying to keep them alive with fluids, things like that.
If you like, you could look up Yazan Al Kafarneh to see the lengths they're going to to try and keep kids alive without food but to no avail, he died last week, completely emaciated.
