Grandmother Calls Yemen the Hero in Conversation About Palestine

The other day, my grandson asked, "Granny, who's gonna save Palestine?"

And I had to pause for a minute. Of course, he's here sometimes while I'm

making my little video, so he hears, and I try to do my best

to explain what is happening

in the world and with this genocide, because he

asks.

Of course, for an 11-year-old, there has to be a hero,

right? Always in their cartoons and movies, there's the

good guys and the bad guys. In this case, I had to say,

"We are the bad guys, our government,

and Yemen are the heroes."

I think about Yemen. I was thinking about them all day yesterday

after that strike on Israel. I'm thinking about them

today with the retaliatory strike on this little

country a thousand miles away or more

from Palestine, who every day come

out in their hundreds of thousands, if not millions,

to protest against this genocide.

And I think I answered him correctly when I said, "Those

are, in fact, the real heroes."
