I've noticed that in the past day or 2, there seems to be an increase in posting by instagram accounts that I follow (Motaz, Bisan, Eyes on Palestine, WizzamGaza etc) and the photos have become more and more graphic. It's at the stage now where I'm tentative opening my instagram, bracing myself for what I might see - a burned maimed child, the grey palor on the face of a martyr, someone clasping a loved one's corpse wailing in grief, disfigured children, various parts of bodies, peoples homes ripped apart. It's very graphic but very real and vivid.The pictures and videos… my heart is justthe burns, the destruction, the sheer violence is just absolutely soul destroying. I can’t get past this, I’ll never unsee these images 🥹
I've said this a few times but I truly can't believe what I am seeing and am becoming in no way desensitised to it, it still punches me in the stomach.
Interestingly - I don't follow any of these accounts on my Facebook (which is linked to my instagram) and nothing in relation to these atrocities come up on my newsfeed on Facebook apart from paid content by Unicef.
