Aziz. A cautionary tale. A Gazan youngster, Aziz, leaves Gaza and is granted asylum in Belgium, because "Open Air Prison", because "Starvation", because "Genocide". Aziz then goes back to Gaza with his shiny new Belgian citizenship, seeing as all those claims were actually untrue. Time passes. Aziz settles back into life in Gaza, secure that his Belgian citizenship will keep him safe. He even starts a family. One day the government in Gaza wages war on its neighbor and life becomes uncomfortable for Aziz, so he contacts the Belgian embassy and is surprised that they do not send in the cavalry to extract him. He discovers that his precious Belgian citizenship, obtained by lying, is useless. His Belgian benefactors won't help him, or his family, get out of Gaza, they won't even feed him or give him medical treatment. Nothing. So he decides he is a Palestinian patriot, and he will stay in Gaza after all. TikTok timestamp: 21 Aug 24 #TheGazaYouDontSee Link in 1st comment
