'We've killed so many children — it's hard to argue with that' (+972 Magazine, 2025-05-01)

———

>> Since March, hundreds of Israelis have joined silent vigils for slain Gazan children, holding up their photos to try to break through the wall of apathy.

>> The idea for these silent protests took shape among several activists in Tel Aviv who were horrified by the scale of death and destruction after Israel renewed its assault on Gaza in March…

>> “It started spontaneously,” said Amit Shilo, one of the organizers of the vigil. “... My friend Alma Beck posted a story with one of the [… deceased Gazan] children, and I wrote to her, ‘Let’s take their pictures to the Saturday night protest.’”

>> The two of them printed 40 black-and-white photos at home from the Daily File, ... “We thought it would just be five of us standing for ten minutes until someone attacked us and we went home — but dozens showed up,”

Given how radicalised and racist Israeli society is, the cynic in me thinks this is a PR stunt to humanise Israelis and make them appear less sociopathic.
