The Eyes of Gaza

Plestia Alaqad

4.0

emotional tense

Should be mandatory reading. The tone was a little too Gen Z for me and I felt the writer lost her message (of vital importance) towards the end.

Ultimately think it is a starter pack for everything you should know about the genocide. Raw and emotional.
