What is happening to the Palestinian people is as heartbreaking and horrific as any other atrocity, that has occurred throughout history. I cannot understand why this is being allowed to take place.
Families are watching multiple loved ones die painful and senseless deaths. I have buried one child, one. The pain her losing her very nearly broke me, I have never been the same person since, despite having a safe home, food, water, warmth, the rest of my family, peace… I cannot even imagine what it is like for them.
No one is saying that October the 7th was right. My heart goes out to those poor families and the fear they must have felt. Those two horrors can exist simultaneously. However if a crime is committed, a civilised society goes after the criminals. It doesn’t kill everyone in its tracks until it finds them!
I do not believe that the IDF didn’t have the intelligence and skill to go after the perpetrators and spare lives.
Where is the outcry, the homes being offered by kindly hosts? Why do the victims of one war matter more than those of another? Look at those faces in the pictures. People just like you and me with hopes and dreams. Children like ours, so loved and treasured, innocent and scared. Where is the outcry!
