Cried on and off, pls take the trigger warnings seriously it’s a nonfiction book about a his full go kindergartners catching fire and ten of them dying. 

Well written and well excited to branch out from the tragedy to talk about now the apartheid contributed to the mass death event

This book covers a lot of people and their stories. It can be hard to keep track and follow who is who. But it’s very worth it. As many have said, this true story reads like a novel. And, it illustrates so powerfully life for Palestinians under Israeli occupation. The very real deaths of human children in this story paint a picture like a metaphor all the ways that settler colonialism harms people. You can easily understand how everything could’ve been different for these families without borders and walls and checkpoints and various classes of IDs and different emergency services. This book taught me a lot without being dry.
