After getting over the initial shock and heartbreak of this tweet and this reply, it hit me that (and I don’t know if this is a cultural thing here in the middle east or an Islamic one)
A child has to be named even if they’re stillborn.
For a child to not be named, that means there’s no one left to name them. They were killed along with their entire family.
I hoped I was wrong, but I checked the list of victims of Israeli attacks and found this:
Israel has ended 47 Palestinian bloodlines over the course of this genocide (or perhaps more), so you might think that this little detail isn’t that important, but I don’t think we should get used to cruelty of this proportion, no matter how consistently Israel commits it.
