i continue to feel naive, peeling back layers that keep growing like new skin under the old. i keep trying to see events clearly, but my vision dims. i want to hope. i want to see no other land as an opening to a shift toward the end of genocide and a free palestine, but then i read on, and realize it's a collaboration that normalizes the situation of zionist settler colonialism. the zionist entity is still destroying homes and lives for the israeli firing zone.
