Thomas Paine's version of "you didn't build that":
"Separate an individual from society,and give him an island or a continent to possess,and he cannot acquire personal property. He cannot be rich. So inseparably are the means connected with the end,in all cases,that where the former do not exist the latter cannot be obtained. All accumulation, therefore,of personal property,beyond what a man's own hands produce, is derived to him by living in society; and he owes on every principle of justice,of gratitude,and of civilization,a part of that accumulation back again to society from whence the whole came"

OUR CHILDREN ARE DYING IN GAZA
Our children are dying on their neighborhood streets in Gaza.
Our children are being bombed in their homes and in their schools in Gaza.
Our children are screaming in pain in hospitals, denied the means to soothe and heal in Gaza.
Our children are suffering from an occupation-imposed lack of food and water in Gaza.
Our children are being stripped of the joy, laughter, and sweet memories of childhood in Gaza.
Our children are crying out for help in Gaza.
Our children are asking us, “what have we done to deserve this punishment?”
