What incentive does Israel have to end the genocide? I mean what current incentive do they have? I don't see any.

I agree, the only end at this point is physical intervention, but that seems highly unlikely.

The desperation I feel over the images I’ve seen is impossible to put into words. I keep thinking if I continue to sound an alarm, especially at this 11th hour, help will come. Because we collectively would never let this continue, right? But we have, and children keep dying in the most horrific ways. And those that haven’t died have experienced trauma and grief bigger than the galaxy, and it will live with them the rest of their days.

I started working with kids in 2022 and my life changed for the better. I will never understand the justification and complicity of slaughtering these innocent and sensitive beings for the “sins of the father.” No matter where they live or who their government or religious leaders are or what atrocities the adults around them have committed, they are precious souls - not numbers, collateral damages or mass casualties of war.

I’m afraid that if we, in 2025, after all history has shown us, cannot draw a red line at the genocide of children, then we may indeed be a lost cause. I truly thought we were better than this. 💔
