While it's critical to humanity that we continue to talk about genocide, Palestine, Gaza, international human rights, it is also important to discuss the impacts of trauma for those who are left alive after Israel's massacre. Trauma, and post traumatic stress responses plague every living victim of violence. Multiply that times a genocide . Now imagine yourself at age 5. Now imagine yourself at age 5 being clawed out of dreamland by screaming and frantic digging as you slowly start to realize that you can't breathe. Imagine that there's no one alive in your family to comfort you and everyone is screaming. Imagine you desperately need water because your throat is full of the rubble of your once beautiful and loving home. Imagine there is no water. Imagine that.
