Yes, thanks I agree. It feels wrong for me, as an outsider, to try to find the good in the situation. It’s just not my place to say that. Palestinians should have their own voice and speak for themselves, instead of trying to set the tone ourselves. It didn’t happen to me personally— how can I say whether it was worth it? To that end, was it even a choice to begin with?

My stance is to be supportive where I can but to never to coddle.
