Rosie asked me about the protests. I explain in language suitable for a 5 year old and she instantly wants to make a sign and come along.
She says she wants Palestine to be free. She wants all the children to be free, to have a life, one like she has. At the age of 5 she instantly wants to help, there’s a recognition of privilege and she knows what’s right.
She proudly told Daddy how she shouted for Palestine and how ‘the people united will never be defeated’. Again she’s 5 and has asked me when the next one is. She knows the importance to show up. It’s not too late to do the same. To stand up for what’s right. To be on the right side of history.
Maybe a 5 year olds humanity is perfectly intact because they haven’t been dehumanised through shameless media and propaganda and they wouldn’t even consider ignoring something so horrific. Many could learn a lot here.
Stand in solidarity with Palestine. Join your local protest. I’m posting Rosie here in the hope that whoever reads this will join her in shouting ‘Free Palestine’ loudly if not already doing so.
