I wanted to remind everyone that a #martyr is someone who dies (or sometimes suffers and must change their life trajectory forever) for their convictions and beliefs. #JoanofArc, burnt at a stake, was a martyr. #CatherineofAlexandria, burnt on a wheel, was a martyr. #IgnatiusLoyola, who gave up his prestigious career as a general after a cannon ball wounded him, was a martyr.
Civilians in #Gaza, #Israel, #Ukraine, etc who die in a destroyed clinic, school, or home during war are not martyrs...
