Oh, my goodness. Every time I read a Mosab Abu Toa poem I weep. He brings me closer to the horror than any video or news story could. Thank you for giving him your platform.

So beautiful, yet so full of pain. We who stand by are perpetuating this horror.

I probably should not have watched this at work. This is truly the most painful thing I hear about on a daily basis. I read horrible posts blaming the victims for not moving out of the way, or voting for their government that puts them in harms way, or just refusing to address the obvious pain or qualify it with October 7th. If you can see or hear the nightmare presenting itself and think that there could be justification, then you need to speak to someone, you need a professional, you need perspective. This is genocide. This is murder. FREE PALESTINE!

This poem by Mosab Abu Toha is very powerful, bringing home to the listeners the suffering experienced by the people in Gaza, day in day.

Well done @Zeteo providing this special content marking one year since the attacks on Oct 7th and the devastating genocidal war in Gaza that's followed.

How something so horrific can be beautiful at the same time shows the deep humanity of Mosab Abu. May his words infiltrate the hearts and minds of the US government and make them stop supplying Israhell their weapons of death.

Feeling very empty in recent days and hearing this made this feeling even stronger. I often thought about how we in the west failed the people in Gaza, Palestine and Lebanon. That all what we did (or not) wasn`t enough, that we couldn`t change anything.

That all i can think about these days. We failed them. We absolutely did.

The West does not have to fail. We merely have to stop dropping huge bombs on a house on fire.

Oh what we could do with that money!

Oh yeah, I 100% agree.. Just imagine what one could do with half of the US military budget.

Thank you for the truth of your words that describe such horror it is hard to read without tears. My tears are nothing to those in Palestine becoming maimed and martyred. Pray for them all.
