To mark this week’s anniversary of Israel’s yearlong assault on Gaza\u2014which has killed, maimed, displaced, starved, and sickened millions of Palestinians with no end in sight\u2014Palestine defenders shared a video set in the year 2040 in which children around the world ask their elders, “What were you doing during this genocide?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video\u2014which is reportedly<\/a> linked to the Turkish government\u2014was reposted by prominent international figures including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis<\/a>, and U.S. peace activist Medea Benjamin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clip shows the world commemorating\u00a0Gaza<\/a>\u00a0in ceremonies, museums, and films, with kids asking their grandparents questions like, “What were you doing during this genocide?” and “Did you just watch it?” as the elders hang their heads in shame at images of slain and suffering Palestinian children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
