"No one calls us home anymore," Sang-woo says, and he means it as a justification. An excuse. His life is empty, he is no longer a child to be cared for, no one calls for him and he has no home to go back to.
Gi-hun could have offered the obvious answer. He could have pointed out that Sang-woo's mother still calls him, that she talks to Gi-hun about her son whenever she sees him. We as the audience know that she asks if Gi-hun has heard from him, later, when she can't reach her son and worries if he's okay.
Gi-hun could have heard the excuse, the plea to give up, and he could have argued with Sang-woo or let him give up.
Instead, Gi-hun sees a reason for hope. He sees an opportunity. He hears, "No one calls us home anymore," and he holds his hand out immediately and says, "Let's go home."
Even if no one else will call Sang-woo home, Gi-hun will.
But Sang-woo doesn't take his hand. Sang-woo grabs the knife and takes his own life, instead, because the truth isn't really that no one calls him home anymore.
The truth is that Sang-woo is the one who stopped listening when they called.
the fact is, israel now definitely realises that no one believes its bullshit anymore, especially seeing the mass movement and huge shift in narrative in response to its ongoing war against Gaza. this tells israel that the mask is now completely off and the masses no longer believe its claims of being the victim and whatever the hell else.
this explains why the scale of violence has been so overwhelming in recent weeks, considering there is nothing for israel to justify anymore and no pretences to keep up for those who used to fall for them.
there is also the sense of embarrassment; a whole military apparatus with billions in annual aid still could not break a besieged, starved enclave (it never will). we have been hearing about ground invasion this, ground invasion that and we have yet to see anything tangible.
again, the public for the most part has now seen who israel really is; a genocidal, terrorist state, and israel knows there's no turning back from this so it ramped up the violence to cause as much damage as possible before it is forced to halt its current acceleration of the ongoing genocide.
U.S. officials are literally telling israel to "pause" so that people can ease up a little and be lulled back into complacency. always remember this and let's keep doing what we're doing because the tides have really turned.
Original idea by @one-lucky-day i just brought it to life
Free Palestine!!!
Israeli occupation forces are blocking ambulances and ordering them to return as they were trying to get injured Palestinians from inside Nourshams Refugee Camp in Tulkarm city in the West Bank.
Until now, 6 Palestinians have been killed since yesterday after Israeli occupation forces raided the refugee camp.
This's a systemic behavior of the IDF, they deliberately let injured people bleed to death.
For those who don't know, this is not in Gaza. This's in the West Bank, another Palestinian territory under occupation.
قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلية تمنع سيارات الإسعاف وتأمرها بالعودة أثناء محاولتها الوصول إلى الفلسطينيين المصابين داخل مخيم نور شمس للاجئين في مدينة طولكرم بالضفة الغربية. حتى الآن استشهد ستة فلسطينيين منذ الأمس عقب مداهمة قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلية للمخيم.
هذا سلوك ممنهج لقوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلية، حيث يتعمدون ترك الأشخاص المصابين ينزفون حتى الموت.
There it is, the cat is out of the bag, the reason why they have been attacking Gaza and wanting to do an ethnic cleansing
Stealing natural resources, just as they have been doing it in Congo and other places
Palestinian children are the strongest humans to exist I swear to god.
“Oh God, I entrust you with Jerusalem, the people of Jerusalem, and all of Palestine. Oh God, we have no choice but to pray for Palestine. O Lord, do not reject our prayers or disappoint us, and you are the Most Merciful of those who show mercy. Oh God, return Palestine and Al-Aqsa Mosque to us in a beautiful way. Oh God, help their weakness, for they have no one but You. Oh God, grant victory to the people of Palestine over your enemies, their Zionist enemies.”
This is what Biden administration feared, the truce has allowed journalists to show the sheer destruction of Gaza
