Hāwane Rios Instagram – amplifying the powerful words of my sis @sofiasamarah “When we learn about terrible things that happened in history, imagery of skulls and bones are always used to illustrate how truly barbaric the situation was. To illustrate the barbaric nature of the perpetrators. The perpetrators did not allow the dead to be buried. The perpetrators left the dead in the street. The perpetrators collected the dead into piles. The perpetrators did not think of or respect the bodies. The perpetrators were barbaric monsters who’s only purpose was to destroy. One day in the future, when people learn about Palestine, they’ll see the images of bones scattered across the streets, and the barbaric situation that allowed for these images to exist. One day in the future, when people learn about Palestine, they’ll ask us how this was able to happen. They’ll ask us why such barbarism occurred. They’ll ask us who the perpetrators were. And people like me will remember exactly how this happened. And which of you, all of you, said nothing, and did nothing, and let my people die.”
