Life is not a right that can be demanded.

If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

I plead for one thing: stop the violence and wars around the world. My beloved city, Gaza, has been under attack since October 7th, with over 6% of its population targeted and most of the city reduced to rubble.

It makes no sense that for decades we have regretted our failure to stop the atrocities and genocides of the last century, yet today, with all the power at our disposal, we are still unable to prevent ethnic cleansing and widespread destruction.

You, me, and everyone with the power to speak up must raise our voices and continue writing to call for an end to all barbaric attacks on innocent people around the world, especially in Gaza.

The least we can do is write on our board the right to a decent life with minimum living standards. It is such a simple request: let us live

To live should not have to be requested; we are born with free will, a gift given to us naturally. No one has the right to steal it from the most vulnerable, especially through advanced technology or the superiority complexes humans have created out of their own greed.

My free board will say: Stop the war. Stop taking lives simply because people are different or to serve political and economic agendas.

  1. I agree, and I’m so sorry for what’s happening. People should be peaceful not violent.
