*me, staggering up to the next set of people doing a Les Mis adaptation* listen. LISTEN. Cosette is the future and the Republic, the Republic is the daughter of the Revolution, Fantine is the actual Revolution, her whole life is a protest, she is not a speedbump on Valjean's plotline, there's a reason that he comes into conflict with Authority the second he decides to take up her cause , there's a reason he starts seeing the bigger picture again, past bourgeois charity, when he's dedicated to helping her! She and Enjolras get described in almost exactly the same physical terms for a reason, so anyone can literally see they are the same! Symbolically! She is one of the three main figures of the story and one of the main themes, hey, no listen--- * I am forcibly removed from the group making the adaptation*
To this day people will cry over the knowledge and works destroyed when the library of Alexandria was burned down.
And yet no tears are shed as Palestinian archives and libraries are bombed.
Saint Porphyrius Church, built in 1150 and the 3rd oldest church in the world has been bombed.
It's not an accident.
Israel aren't simply killing Palestinians, they are trying to erase that there ever were Palestinians in the first place.
Destroying their livelihoods, trying to to destroy their culture and history and pretend this land was never there's.
It's easy to deny someone's existence when there's no record of them.
Which is why it's so important to look at the atrocities and bear witness to what's happening.
But to also recognise that Palestine is more than it's suffering.
There is a living breathing culture, of art, history, literacy which all come from the Palestinians.
Traditions they've carried for centuries.
So while we mourn the dead, we shall fight for the living. Fight for the preservation of their crafts, amplify their voices as they speak on their culture.
Palestinian history and culture is alive. And no matter how much the world wants to erase that, they cannot and will not.
People who somehow survived going to school in a language they know nothing in please share your knowledge I am half into the first day and I already had like three internal breakdowns
