  The church I play music at this year, during the kids’ moment of the service, they sometimes open the mic up so the kids can ask questions and make comments. There are third graders (I chose that age because that’s how old the kid was) with more complicated, accurate, and empathetic opinions about the genocide of Palestinians than what sheeran gave us. So like if you don’t have an opinion on it, you have had since 1950 (ish. I’m rounding up) to learn. I learned about the intifadas when I was in my 20s, so i don’t hold it against the youts if they’re not basing their positions off a clear picture. Shit I’m middle aged and I’m still a novice when it comes to international geopolitics. I enjoy reading about it tho.
