In 1937, the Basque city of Gernika came under severe bombing by the Nazi Luftwaffe and the Italian Aviazione Legionaria.
Picasso was so affected he painted the piece Guernica:
Today (December 8, 2023), Gernika created their own haunting demonstration in solidarity with Palestine:
(If you unmute, beware, there is the very loud sound of an actual air raid siren.)
It's a human mosaic and includes the mother with dead child from Guernica.

i'm like a whore that's shy and also kinda quiet and moody and secretive and mysterious and reserved
people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you'll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone.

sometimes i think adulthood just means constantly searching for and chasing that joy you so effortlessly felt during your childhood
happy new year. may we see a free palestine in 2025
the weirdest fucking thing to me is how men will be like "it's so hard being a man. no one cares that i'm sad. the loneliness we experience could NEVER be understood by a woman" and then also be like "btw i never talk to my friends and i don't know their names and i love hanging out with men because they don't talk about their stupid emotions all the time. women could never understand a bond like this." like ???
jewishvoiceforpeace: This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate.
We demand a ceasefire now to save lives. To stop a genocide. The Israeli military has already erased 47 entire Palestinian families from Gaza's population registry; all members of the family, from all generations, are dead. This is loss beyond measure.
The U.S. is also responsible for this horror. 80% of the bombs that the Israeli military drops on Gaza, that are used to kill these children, are American-made. We are called to do everything we can to stop this genocide.
As we continue to demand a ceasefire and fight for a future where everyone is free and equal and safe, we refuse to forget these lives. We will always affirm that every life is precious.
Every single one of these deaths was preventable. When we say Never Again-for anyone, this is who we mean. Never Again is right now.

Please do not let history repeat itself. Don’t stand with genocide.
Thanks to social media, news can spread like wildfire. But the support we give to Palestine should not be treated like a trend. Don’t stop liking, commenting, retweeting and sharing information and posts about Palestine. Don’t stop listening to Palestinians. Remember all who have suffered, all who have died, all who are trapped, all who have lost families and friends.
Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.
