Once the genocide is over, it would indeed be a day to respectfully observe. In the middle of one however, that’s an obscene thing to ask. The people murdered by Israel on Tuesday, the people who starved on Tuesday, the people who got injured, amputated, displaced, traumatized as a result of Israeli aggression on Tuesday, they don’t deserve less of an outcry just because of a commemoration. To say otherwise is mindblowingly dehumanizing. Palestinian lives matter exactly as much as Israeli lives.
