You never miss, Danya! Thank you for this poignant piece! I read that second paragraph and thought "oh my god, she's talking about Zadie Smith" and lo and behold, you were! one of the most shameful op-eds I have read in the past couple years, and there sure have been a lot
I canβt help but have a bitter taste in my mouth when it comes to people who have remained silent about palestine, time and time again. this exactly puts into words the why behind that feeling β we are living in different realities.
Smith claims the only voice that matters is that of the dead. Yet who is here to defend the dead besides us? They cannot speak, we have to speak for them.

Itβs soooo crazy, the whole piece is her taking two steps forward and one step back. Ana thank you sm!!!
