Her name wasn't Hind Rajab, so barely anyone will ever remember her or make a documentary about her.

She is just a number in the list of documented 20,000 murdered Palestinian children by the genocidal regime of Israel.

No one will miss her. but at least, some will know her name so she will not be forgotten.

I was reading the other day about how one of the most effective things that we can do in effective dissemination of information about the scope of this genocide is to frame things around individuals; it is easier for us to respond to the death of one child, for example, than to understand the scale of tension of thousands of children being killed (I suspect this is why Hind Rajab became such an effective symbol).

Apparently this is the most well documented genocide-in-progress the world has ever seen, and I can believe it. Images like this are powerful because it shows that Zeina Al-Ghoul isn't just some abstract entity, or a number on a spreadsheet, but a real human child. There are so many others whose names I will never hear, but it's powerful to continually remind ourselves of the human lives that are being destroyed.
