Let's keep in mind the horrifying reality that way more than 35,000 Palestinians have been murdered by Israel. That's just a total of deaths directly from bombs, etc. There's deaths from intentional starvation, succumbing to injuries and other medical emergencies because of destruction of hospitals, and so on and so forth.
Don't lose focus! Yes, the university campus protests are excellent, but remember WHY and WHAT they are protesting.

Queer Liberation and Palestinian Liberation are interconnected! We are not free until we all are.
This disability pride month can we be mad that Israel has made it so more than ten children a day lose a limb in Gaza? Can we be mad that there isn't a single fully functioning general hospital in Gaza, thanks to the Israeli army's bombings? Can we be mad that there are disabled people in Palestine who don't have access to the care they need? Can we be mad that there are disabled people in Gaza that are dying due to the lack of medicine and doctors? Can we be mad that Israel tried to give Palestine near expired COVID vaccines and then acted like they did something? Can we be mad?!
