Though their physical presence has been stolen away by #Israel, their spirits remain unbroken and free, forever cradled in the loving embrace of our thoughts and prayers. On this night, as the stars twinkle with a solemn promise, we realise that Israel can take lives, but never the memories, the love, the legacy. The children of Gaza remain with us, now and always.
