As someone who had spent a LOT of time reading accounts of torture, multilation, and the other awful fates of civilians during war: this. 1000x this. You do not have to expose yourself to violence to know it's happening, and traumatizing yourself does not help you become a better advocate.

im gonna say this here too bc i see a lot of people posting from a place of nihilism and despair:
seeking out and mainlining videos of the torture and mass death of palestinians is neither necessary nor conducive to activism against genocide
this practice causes real psychological harm
