From you? More and more. Everything.”

“What becomes of the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, who calendars are marked by routine bombardments? What are the mental and muscular consequences of being forced to transform a taxi into a hearse? What becomes of the nurse whose shift is interrupted by the arrival of her husband’s corpse on a stretcher? What about the father wandering with what remains of his son in two plastic bags? What happens to him after all of this death, once he is alone and away from the cameras? What kind of man will the boy carrying his brother’s limbs in a bag grow up to be? Does it matter whether he emerges as Abd el-Hadi or as Abu Obaida? Does it make Zionism any less indefensible?”
― Mohammed El-Kurd, Perfect Victims and the Politics of Appeal

“Is that why I found you half frozen in the ocean? Because you are afraid you will grieve my loss?
I would grieve it.”
