I get really angry and loud sometimes about what is happening in Palestine. Then I get chastised by the "pacifists". Some say they just can't listen. When I say that if people had spoken out when it was clear that a holocaust (genocide) was happening in Germany, they quietly nod, but they still do not go to any demos or read anything other than the mainstream news. It is sometimes difficult not to start yelling like a madwoman at this kind of behaviour. And these are not people with political power. They are regular people who don't seem to really get it.
I find myself Existentially challenged by it. 15,000+ children now. It's hard to grapple with. I suppose death is part of life, but is life really just random shit and nothing more than that?
Unfortunately, the world is full of "such" people. Most people are too pre-occupied with their own lives (for one reason or another), and prefer to remain in their own reality bubbles (for various reasons). Bringing awareness is always a challenge. I keep trying every day. On some days I am able to get through to people, on other days it leads to more frustration.
Don't get discouraged and continue fighting the good fight! (I am saying this as much to myself as I am to you).

You sound like a born activist. Go for it, Susan.
