something I’m thinking about is the unimaginable experience of the people whose mourning today is particular and specific, who lost a person they loved last October 7, but have watched that intimate human grief get twisted and corrupted ever since to justify jaw-dropping atrocities and launch a war

Thank you. This is the only mention of this that I have seen here today, and I don't exactly feel secure posting about it myself, regardless of my history of advocating for Palestinians. Now I get to go to a memorial service where I also won't feel 100% secure because of that advocacy.
