\n<\/span>\u201cHomesickness, that was the theme this issue of ABHIVYAKTI took its starting point from. The feelings, images and thoughts this word would evoke for the contributors. In times of violence and war, the experience of homesickness intensifies, becoming abysmal. During the sketching phase of the issue the word transformed and became disjointed. And while this text was written, Gaza \u2013 the biggest city in Palestine, but by comparison about \u00bc of \u00d6land in size \u2013 has been nearly razed to the ground. Data retrieved from the UN satellite center on December 1<\/span>st<\/span> last year shows that 69 percent of all structures in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged. Thinking about homesickness, about 426 000 of these structures were homes, corresponding to 92 percent of all homes in the region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The responsible are the Israeli government along with every country who has contributed to this destruction. Looking at images or videoclips from Gaza means looking at ruins for as far as the eye can see. They are images and clips of murdered and mutilated people, starving and traumatized people. Babies. Children. Teenagers. Babies. Children. Teenagers.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than 47 000 people have been murdered, but the dark numbers are vast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

IDF and illegal settlers perform daily attacks on the Westbank, Ramallah and Jerusalem, in other words, Palestinians are murdered and harmed there as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A report from Amnesty International scrutinizes the arbitrary attacks committed by Israel \u2013 at all levels \u2013 in detail and concludes that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite being aware of this, the outside world stays silent. It is an uncomfortable silence. But from it erupt attempts at breaking it. This issue, which now bears the theme <\/span>Palestine<\/span><\/i>, is such an attempt.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
