Here is a statement from Amnesty International:
“The root causes of these repeated cycles of violence must be addressed as a matter of urgency. This requires upholding international law and ending Israel’s 16-year-long illegal blockade on Gaza, and all other aspects of Israel’s system of apartheid imposed on all Palestinians. The Israeli government must refrain from inciting violence and tensions in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, especially around religious sites. Amnesty International calls on the international community to urgently intervene to protect civilians and prevent further suffering.”

At 8 or 9 years old, you either become a horse girl, a mythology girl, or a dolphin girl. This decision can have lifelong consequences.

It seems like one of those nights,
We ditch barbituric acids and
Fiddle with pentagrams
Instead of sleeping
Yeaaaahh.
