A beautiful lament.

It says in your byline, Grief, maybe.

Grief indeed.

Couldn't believe what was coming with this visit. Stayed up waiting to be disproven.

Grief, indeed.

Isn’t that the most despicable and disgusting thing, those ovations? Just evil….

I would like to know if you felt the same kind of anguish when Jewish children were burned alive, beheaded, dismembered and killed on October 7th?

Yes, a beautiful lament, Danaka. In my view your best essay ever, so far.

There is so much power in grief. May the stream of tears your essay releases today become a flood of justice for the Palestinian children and others who are being heartlessly genocided.

love, Kathleen
