. . . and all associated with your brilliant video.
Anne, your great-hearted, generous smashing of your life collection of diamonds is a magnificent symbolic action deeply appreciated by all who live in hope for a better world.
You have struck an important blow for Palestinian rights, several such blows in fact, as you smashed those diamonds.
You have pointed to an important sourcing of the Israeli war crimes that continue at will and with US support against the people of Gaza and Palestine. You have given a voice to the voiceless, you have in part avenged the murdered children and civilians of Gaza.
Your words and actions rhyme splendidly.
Well done. Congratulations. This calls for some kind of serious celebration.
