i'm trying to see something, so please feel free to share which one you picked, your age (or age range), and whether or not you think the show itself was good or bad!

I figured the Jolene loving site needed to see this

“Sorry I couldn’t keep my promise. I’m going to have to leave you first.”

I’m not going to lie. I cried during this part. 

i’m not gonna lie, i cried during the whole course of this show.

The children of Gaza deserve to grow up with their mothers and fathers.

The children of Gaza deserve to grow up in a safe and healthy environment.

The children of Gaza deserve to grow up to have careers and families of their own.

The children of Gaza deserve to grow up.

The Palestinians deserve to live.

Nobody seems to appreciate the gentle urgency of it

THIS. Also, to prevent people from misquoting this poem in the future, here's the whole thing, written by German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemoller in 1946:

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—      Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—      Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—      Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

What's more Niemoller was a national conservative. He originally supported the Nazi Party, hoping it would bring about a national revival (as did many Germans), until Hitler proclaimed the supremacy of state over religion and Protestant churches, at which point he allied with other pastors and Lutheran organizations against Nazification. He was also anti-Semitic, making many pejorative remarks about Jews, such as them deserving persecution for crucifying Jesus and believing they should be kept out of any positions in the government. He was imprisoned from 1937-1945, during which time he reconsidered his earlier views.

This poem is a warning, not because Niemoller saw it happen. It is because this is his story. This poem is him saying "don't be how I was, because for however much you support a regime and the hate it doles onto the people marginalized and labelled for extermination, they will one day come for you, like they came for me". No one is immune from the prejudice of the state - there is never only one scapegoat.
