At this point we repeat this literally every Saturday it feels like:

But 100 Palestinians killed in a single strike as they gathered to pray is exactly what your silence results in.

These massacres turn into the new "norm" of Israeli crimes.

The bar gets shifted.

The red lines erased and redrawn.

A new precedent is set.

Yes, your silence is killing more Palestinians but also understand that it is changing what is acceptable for you and your future.

I think real progress comes when you don’t even realize it. In the mundane. It isn’t like this switch that just turns off or on. It’s a slow burn. Like when you wake up one day and suddenly you’re in your 20s when it seems like yesterday you were still begging your parents for a ride. But you made it. And it clicks in your head that you did. That’s why growth is so special. When you make the decision to become better, you don’t always see the changes, but they are in fact still happening. And one day you will wake up to the life you dreamt of and have the realization that one decision, that commitment to yourself, slowly molded your life without you noticing. And then you’ll see. And it makes everything worth it.

Remain grounded!

Ibn al-Jawzi:

Understand that life has occasions. One time it is poverty, and another time it is wealth. Once it is honour, and another it is humiliation. Happy is he is who remains grounded in each situation.

[Sayd al-Khatir p.282]
