Do you think there's a 13 year old girl in Gaza who is writing a diary that will be widely read by children across the world 40-50 years from now?

Well, with the way things are going, it won’t be read in the U.S.A. It’ll be banned.

By then they won't have to ban books. Nobody here will be able to read

Those that can will be considered witches and drowned or burned at the stake.

It's 2025, the teenagers mostly document their lives on social media. Tent life guy from Gaza got killed but there are others.

When this empire falls and the genocide history is able to be taught then yes I think some of these video records will be studied by children around the world.

Maybe, but the IDF will definitely burn anything they find, don't want more records of their crimes where they can avoid it

Maybe, but it will probably be destroyed by carpet bombing before anyone sees it.

It’s not carpet bombing it Ai kill list. It indiscriminately just attacks targets, they’ve been training it the whole time. Palantir is the company

It's probably not them. I didn't see anything about Gaza genocide in the impact studies section.

The Germans occupied the Netherlands during WW2 and most (non Jewish) people could still live relevantly normal lives. Israel on the other hand is destroying everybody and everything in Gaza. They don't even have a chance to write a diary.

Around 250,000 Dutchmen died in WW2. A substantial part of that came from the hunger winter in 1944 when the German army took the Dutch harvest. Dutch cities were first bombed by the Germans and afterwards by the allies, and many were in complete ruins. I am saying this not to downplay what Israel does to Palestina, but the idea that most Dutch people lived relatively “normal” lives during WW2 is ridiculous.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 minutes ago

I meant normal in wartime. It wasn't just a slaughter like Israel is doing. People could still have jobs and do stuff.

As a new biography Dutch Girl: Audrey Hepburn and World War II, excerpted exclusively in this week’s PEOPLE, reveals, it was her experiences during Germany’s five-year occupation of Holland during World War II that truly shaped her.

While more has come out in recent years about her war experience, Robert Matzen’s book reveals harrowing new details about how a young Hepburn battled severe malnutrition, particularly during what was known as the “Hunger Winter” of 1944-45.

Leading up to that brutally cold winter, as Germany tightened its grip on Holland, Hepburn and her family were often forced to live in the cellar for days and weeks at a time due to bombing overhead. And food became more and more scarce.
