We Are Protecting Civilians. We Are Unarmed.

I Feel Like I'm Witnessing The Systematic Destruction Of A People's Ability To Survive.... Sometimes I Sit Down To Dinner With People And I Realize There Is A Massive Military Machine Surrounding Us, Trying To Kill The People I'm Having Dinner With

We Are Protecting Civilians. We Are Unarmed. We Are No Threat To You. Please Do Not Shoot.

I Should At Least Mention That I Am Also Discovering A Degree Of Strength And Of Basic Ability For Humans To Remain Human In The Direst Of Circumstances – Which I Also Haven’t Seen Before. I Think The Word Is Dignity. I Wish You Could Meet These People. Maybe, Hopefully, Someday You Will.

We Should Be Inspired By People... Who Show That Human Beings Can Be Kind, Brave, Generous, Beautiful, Strong-even In The Most Difficult Circumstances.
