Gaza pisses me off because it’s just another rich man’s border war with poor men’s kids doing the dying. I’ve seen those same faces in Alexander when the cops roll through like occupying forces, same fear, same helplessness. They say it’s about religion or land, but I know better — it’s about who gets to breathe easy and who gets to be erased quietly. My tata used to say war is always between the powerful, but the bodies are always ours. Doesn’t matter if the sand is beige or red, the blood looks the same when it’s poor people paying the fare. And don’t come here with your hashtags and your silence — I’ve heard it all before, same as after Marikana.
