A friend of a friend was killed in Palestine a couple of days ago near the Jordanian border. She was the head of HEAL Palestine and had two gorgeous tiny kids. Her husband is stuck in North Gaza and can't get to any of them. She was killed by Hamas, it appears, 90 rounds shot into her car, in a case of mistaken identity or a struggle over money, whether she would hand over donations given to her organization.
I, like ... cannot breathe.
This entire insanity has to stop. Everyone is desperate. Everyone is terrified. And responding by killing everyone and then moving across a border and killing everyone else, even if complete annihilation of history and population were possible (it isn't, really) just adds more trauma and hate.
This situation is INTOLERABLE and a ceasefire is the first step needed to begin to move in a new direction. Nothing about any of this is ok.
If you respond to this post, or any post, to justify genocide I will block you.
