First Day of Eid for my Muslim friends. I went out in the morning to run an errand. It wasn’t 10am yet and the neighborhood kids were out in the street in groups, dressed up so nicely in their Eid clothes, sisters matching and sometimes not. I was happy for them and the day they have ahead.

Then, my heart clenched.

Kids not 3 hours far from me, woke up to destruction of their homes and a missing parent or sibling. The last day of the holy month of Ramadan was the day when they were supposed to be eagerly waiting for Eid. Instead, Palestinian kids in Gaza witnessed traumatic fear and agony that no kids ever have to go through.

This has to stop. What’s happening to our brothers and sisters in Palestine is inhumane. Please spread the word.
