Das Bild zeigt den Innenraum eines öffentlichen Verkehrsmittels, vermutlich eines Busses oder einer Straßenbahn. Im Vordergrund sind ein Paar grauer Sneakers mit weißen Sohlen zu sehen, die auf dem grauen, speckigen Boden liegen. Die Sneakers sind ziemlich sauber und scheinen neu zu sein. Links im Bild ist ein Teil eines Sitzes mit einem gelben Polka-Dot-Muster zu sehen, das auf die Farbe und das Design des Sitzes hinweist. Rechts ist ein Teil eines Fensters oder einer Tür mit einem gelben Polka-Dot-Muster zu sehen, das mit einem blauen Stoff bezogen ist. Im unteren linken Bereich ist ein Teil eines Ventilators mit der Aufschrift "SIEMENS" zu sehen, was auf die Hersteller des Fahrzeugs hinweist. Der Innenraum wirkt sauber und gut gepflegt.

"In Western media discussion in the U.S, there’s been a kind of normalization of just that it's kind of routine, that every day Palestinians are dying more and more and more. And it doesn’t even really provoke that much conversation anymore."

"I think this is what’s so chilling, so deeply chilling about this moment is that this is an experiment in how the lives of one particular group of people can be made to seem so cheap. That you can have 150 people killed per day, you know, over 650 days, and yet, you know, much of the world reacts with a shrug, and the world continues to give Israel the military and diplomatic support to make it possible."

"And I think that’s one of the things that people are going to be struggling to face and deal with, and contemplate, and understand about those of us who are alive in this moment. How—when there were other moments in history where far fewer people died, and it sparked the conscience of the world, and led to fundamental political change—how can it be that in this case that this can just be tolerated?"

"As a new round of negotiations between Hamas and Israel begins in Doha, Israeli forces have intensified their military operations across the Gaza Strip. Nearly 900 Gazans have been killed by U.S.-Israeli forces while attempting to access aid by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which was set up by Israel and the U.S. in May. Each day, Palestinians live under relentless bombardment and witness horrific massacres."
