I know I'm not my government but I want to apologize to him for "my" government for being a bunch of spineless cowards who absolutely know what they are doing and what they are supporting being done in Palestine.

It boils my blood to hear them talk as if it's a war rather than a mass slaughter and to hear them act like "the hostages" (Israelis) are the only ones who matter, as if Israel isn't holding thousands of Palestinians hostage right now and as if all of Gaza and the West Bank aren't held hostage by them as well.

I don't want to say too much but have a family member who is very, very closely connected to the upper ranks in "my" government but I haven't had contact with them for a long time, which is lucky because if I was near this family member and their colleagues I'd spit in their child-murdering faces and tell them that they're lucky that it's the only projectile that I sent towards their heads.

I can't put it into words how much I hate the injustice of the world and that you, your friend, your families and your people are subject to some of the worst of these injustices. I don't have a question, I just want both of you to know that I'm sorry that the world has failed you for over a century and that my heart breaks for all of Palestine.
