Just One Day

Yesterday in Detroit. On the street in front of Rep. Thanedar’s office. A rally and vigil organized by Jewish Voice for Peace. We prayed and sang and demanded a ceasefire and an end to the occupation. A woman read the names and ages of 101 Palestinian children murdered by IDF bombs. She said her list represented one day of deaths. Just one day out of thirty. There are many adjectives I would use to describe what is happening in Gaza. “Complicated” is not one of them.
