A shame on the memory of all those lost to the Holocaust. Fuck Israel!
Fucking death March. Fuck Israel.
Imagine what they are thinking: being allowed to go back to their homes wondering if their homes even exists. Knowing that at any moment, they could be bombed and massacred again. Will they have communities? Will their friends return or are they even still alive? Can they get comfortable or should they be ready to evacuate for their lives again? Should they try rebuilding or make it through the day with bare necessities? Should they bother building social relationships or prepare for the surprise loss?
Palestinian culture must be unique. Many peoples have gone through severe hardships. There have been wars and genocides. However, the Palestinians have been going through it for decades on their own land merely for being there. There are generations of Palestinians that only know what it’s like to be the constant target of a decisively powerful and unapologetic violently reactive state that imprisons them inside walls and either destroys or takes their homes. They can only exist how they’re allowed to exist as the involuntarily designated sacrificial target of repressed anger from the justified pain of another people, always branded as a threatening villain by the very same people that punish you for existing, you can’t do anything but let time go by.

I agree with most of what you said but justified pain of another people? As if holocaust survivors are the ones inflicting suffering onto Palestinians. What’s justified? Retaliation as a result of brutality does not constitute justification of pain on behalf the aggressor.
No, only their pain and anger are justified. Not the brutality of another people.
Do not forget your government and politicians allowed this to happen.
Honestly shocking the genociders aren’t trying to bomb them on their way back at this point. Not that they have anything to go back to.
This should be the top top-level comment, not a reply. If you’ll post it, I’d updoot it.
Eh, it is visible here. If people are curious about the information in this post, they will see it.
Nothing to go back to = more starving, radicalized Palestinians = easier justification for further genocide
Even more shocking is that these people are willing to go back, knowing israel will most likely try something again.
Yet.
All funneled into a narrow corridor… Anyone else thinking it’s a trap or something? I would be so terrified.
As another commenter posted:
Ah but of course they did.
That seems unsafe.
I don’t trust any of the people watching them walk by.
