There is #KnowTheirName reading in Eastbourne today: we are reading all the names of the children killed in Gaza. I arrived during the reading of 6 year olds. 30min later, still doing 6 year olds. It is just awful. #Gaza

#KnowTheirName #Gaza We read from 9am-6pm. This is a joint effort: the reading started in Seaford, where the names of 0-4y children were covered; we did 5-11; Lewes will read 11 upwards.
We had the inevitable negative comments and confrontations here and there, but also a lot of support. Some passers-by also did some reading. Needless to say, it was profoundly sad and upsetting.

@pvonhellermannn negative comments, about what?
Because reading thousands of children names, slaughtered by israeli killing machine, was so painful?

Don’t Mention the Children
‘Israel bans radio advert listing names of children killed in Gaza.’ Guardian, 24 July 2014

Don’t mention the children.
Don’t name the dead children.
The people must not know the names
of the dead children.
The names of the children must be hidden.
The children must be nameless.
The children must leave this world
having no names.
No one must know the names of
the dead children.
No one must say the names of
the dead children.
No one must even think that the children
have names.
People must understand that it would be dangerous
to know the names of the children.
The people must be protected from
knowing the names of the children.
The names of the children could spread
like wildfire.
The people would not be safe if they knew
the names of the children.
Don’t name the dead children.
Don’t remember the dead children.
Don’t think of the dead children.
Don’t say: ‘dead children’.

2025 again...
