It's October 7th Again, For The 76th Year.

Hi ,

I hope you had a blessed weekend.

Today is October 7th. For Palestinians, this is the 7th decade where October arrives and they find themselves still occupied and imprisoned.  How does one begin to explain what we have all witnessed in the last 365 days let alone the last 76 years?

Heartbreaking does not carry the weight of Hind's final words over the phone.  

Agonizing does not demonstrate journalists frantically running over to the decapitated Ismail Al-Ghoul sitting in his car.  

Distressing does not describe the little girls on the rooftop screaming as they watch their father burn.

Depressing does not carry the heartache of the boy who carried his little bloody brother in his backpack.

Traumatic does not reveal the final breaths of the little girl who died holding the hand of Nooh under the rubble  

There are no words that will ever carry the weight. We will never know how Palestinians in Gaza feel.

I spoke to Saleh Aljafarawi, Abdallah Alattar, and Najah Hajjaj, three beloved journalists from Gaza just yesterday over the phone. They were all together and Najeh called to thank us for collaborating with him on his posts as they were reaching more people. I explained that the thanks and love is all for him, all we do is press a button to accept. They told me how yesterday they just escaped death as they were covering airstrikes at Al Aqsa Hospital and a school that was hit with an airstrike. I couldn't find the words, just like I'm at a loss of words now. I prayed for them over the phone, let them know how loved they are, and then their internet cut out. I messaged them right after to make sure they were okay and they told me their service is horrible. I was relieved. After every conversation I have with someone from Gaza, It's always a fear that I will never hear their voice again. This is their reality, death can come to them at any point. 

Even though we will never know how they feel in Gaza, we do know one thing. Palestinians in Gaza see what we're all doing. They see the boycotting we do. They see the posts we all make. They see the protests we all attend. They see all the comments. They see all the messages. They see all the support. They finally feel loved, even with all the evil that occupies their land.

As a Palestinian owned and run brand, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving us the platform to help our people in Palestine. We will always advocate for the oppressed. It's more important than ever to not give up hope and keep doing everything you can for a free Palestine. THEY FEEL SUPPORTED. Do not lose hope.....The Palestinians have not even lost hope. 

The world will change very soon and we will all celebrate, together, the liberation of all oppressed people worldwide.
