cheap

Anguished and powerful words recorded today by Palestinian journalist and film maker Bisan Owda (@wizard_bisan1) as Israel resumes its bombing of Gaza regardless of the ‘ceasefire’:

“I hate that every time the bombings are resumed it comes with the feeling of how our lives are so cheap. To the amount that no one cares about, yeah, finally they survived, please no more killings, everyone is alive now, is precious. No one is feeling this. I know peoples are feeling this, but no one is doing a right thing to make us feel like this. It feels so cheap that they can kill us whenever they want, like putting us in a cage and then, that’s so hard. That’s a very hard feeling. This is what I hate now…now the buzzing sound, now the bombings. This is what I’m thinking about now. Why we’re so…cheap.”
