The situation in Gaza is a dire one; please read up on it if you are not aware of the blockade being imposed on over a million innocent people there.
AlhamdoliLah, on a whim, I decided to drop by a local protest for Gaza. It was nice to be out of the house and to actually do something. Sometimes, the things I see at these protests are discouraging and make me think twice about continuing to attend (only for a second though), and i'm not talking Zionists.
I am NOT easily offended. However, I find the idea of using a protest as a photo-op session deeply offensive. After every major protest, there are always those who choose to document the event in a Facebook manner... you might know exactly what I'm talking about. I find it peculiar that people feel the urge to act silly at a protest for a humanitarian crisis. And after the fact, I have to see it again and again as people post pictures of their disrespect all over the place. Perhaps, I am overreacting.
