If this is too hard to read, imagine living it.
No one’s talking about Palestine anymore.
The airstrikes aren’t trending. The rubble isn’t photogenic enough. The activists that were dragged off the streets in Israel and locked away for demanding an end to genocide? No one’s asking about them. No headlines. No hashtags. They’ve been swallowed up by the silence.
This is what happens when it’s no longer fashionable to care.
People forget. Not because it stopped happening—but because it stopped being new.
Palestine is still burning.
Children are still buried beneath cement.
Families are still counting the bodies of loved ones, day after day after day.
But if it’s not flashing across someone’s feed with a Spotify playlist and a neutral-toned infographic, it doesn’t exist to them.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, ICE is dragging people out of their homes.
Mothers. Fathers. Queer immigrants. Children.
Detained. Disappeared. Forgotten.
And the influencers? The ones who had so much to say in 2020? Silent.
Too busy filming “day in my life” videos in $300 activewear to talk about actual people being deported in their own neighborhoods.
Too worried about brand deals and algorithms to mention the fact that there are literal raids happening right now.
They’ll wear a shirt that says “Be Kind” but they won’t say “Free Palestine.”
They’ll make a TikTok about “good energy” while someone gets shoved into a van down the street.
They’ll post about self-love but not about state violence.
Because comfort is addictive.
Because platforms become prisons.
Because caring too loudly is “bad for engagement.”
And the media? Complicit.
Newsrooms have gone quiet. Gaza isn’t headline-worthy anymore.
It’s too “messy,” too “controversial,” too “draining.”
It doesn’t sell ad space like the Met Gala does.
It’s not too messy for the people living it.
It’s not too draining for the children who can’t sleep because of the drones.
It’s not too complicated for the people ICE is ripping from their families in LA.
So no—this isn’t easy to read. It’s not supposed to be.
If it’s hard to scroll through this, imagine living it. Imagine surviving it. Imagine waking up every single day knowing the world will move on without you, while you are still grieving, still resisting, still screaming into a void that only echoes back silence.
If you have a platform, use it. If you have a voice, raise it.
And if you choose not to—
Don’t tweet about mental health or kindness or “allyship” if you won’t talk about deportations, if you won’t say Palestine, if you won’t name the violence you benefit from.
This isn’t about what’s trending.
This is about who’s dying while you scroll past it.
And no, you can’t look away forever. One day, that silence will come for you, too.
