Shocking. Or perhaps it shouldn't be shocking at all.View quoted post on X
I just went through the X and Instagram accounts of several Democrats who were elected to Congress and who had made Gaza a central issue in their campaigns.
Not a single post acknowledging the suffering of our families in Gaza, who have endured heavy rains and landslides over the past three days, leaving people exposed, displaced, and dying.
Not even a repost. Not even a shared word about their suffering.
Not a single condemnation of the ongoing Israeli siege that continues to block desperately needed shelter, medicine, and warm clothing from reaching Gaza.
And what makes this silence even more disturbing is the reach these politicians have. Some have tens of thousands of followers. Others have hundreds of thousands, even millions. People who were drawn to them by their eloquence, their promises, and their professed commitment to human rights and dignity for all.
Imagine what even one post could do. How many people it could reach. How much awareness it could raise. How much pressure it could generate.
They had plenty to say about Gaza when they needed votes. But now, when Palestinian families desperately need their voices, silence.
What is the value of your commitment to human rights if it disappears the moment speaking up is no longer politically convenient?
If this is how they respond before they've even settled into office, then goodbye.
Palestinians are not campaign slogans. Our suffering is not an election strategy. And our lives do not stop mattering once the votes have been counted.
