- The Children were killed, Now empty spaces remain..
- In the summer of 2014 Israel launched a vicious and brutal assault on the gaza strip killing over 2250 people.
- Over 550 children were killed during the attack.
- Today members from the London Visual Activist Collective met outside Downing Street to remember the children that are no longer with us.
- Children that, if it were not for Israels blatant disregard for civilian life, would still be with us today.
- They would still be riding their bikes and mothering their dolls.
- They would still be sleeping in their beds and in their fathers arms.
- They would still be answering back in the cheeky way that kids do.
- They would still be playing in the school yard, Football, Hopscotch, Hoopla, Tag.
- But they don't do any of that anymore because Israel removed them from the world.
- All that remains now are empty spaces.
- Empty beds, empty fathers arms, empty school desks, empty seats in class, empty souls of of the parents, empty hearts of the school friends left behind.
- These children are now gone forever and an empty space remains.
- The parents and siblings are still there, having to endure each waking moment in grief.
- The pain does not go away once the bombs stop falling and because the news cameras have stopped rolling.
- So today we showed a unique paper doll chain.
- Measuring over 160 metres in length and made by people from the UK, containing over 550+ cut outs of kids, it signifies the empty spaces left in the world because those children were killed.
- We also wish to convey to the people of Gaza and Palestine in general, that we have not forgotten about them.
- All around the world people are standing up for Palestine and we always will.
