I still can't believe that this not only happened on our watch, but that it was live-streamed across social media every single day for the whole world to see.

Just total devastation—How can any of us simply stand by and not acknowledge what has happened to Gaza and its people?

Great empires build, but our infantile, wannabe empire only knows destruction. What a legacy we have created for ourselves.

I truly wonder if we’re dealing with an incomplete species of humans that can destroy other humans with such cavalier glee while simultaneously destroying the earth water and air with toxic poison. Who are we dealing with exactly?

Ourselves, sadly. We don't learn and apply the laws of relationship. Nothing on this lovely planet is separate from anything else. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is free.

On the 7th of October 2023, Israelis were on holiday. Early morning on the border Palestiniens stormed like a tsunami killing, burning children raping women taking hostages and filming the atrocities. Palestiniens aplauded. Hamas is responsible for what was done. Don't mess with Israel.

Israel has the right to go after Hamas, not commit genocide against the civilian population of Gaza who did not participate in the attack against Israel. Israel has become the modern day Nazis.

And it's winter coming on with no home for Palestinians to take refuge in. Israel is a Zionist terrorist state government.

I'm not ❤️ this, it's horrific! My heart bleeds for the people, the lose, the destruction, dehumanising, ethnic cleansing; genocide.

I'm so sorry the world leaders have done this, we will NEVER FORGET and I will never stop talking about Palestine! 🖤🙏🏽🇵🇸

I wish the NYTimes would provide more complete coverage so Americans were actually CONFRONTED by the Holocaust committed by Israel.

This is urban warfare.

We should all be anti-war, but let's not be naive and recognize that war is sometimes necessary, just but nonetheless ugly.

This could have been avoided if Hamas simply agreed to return the hostages 2 years ago, but they did not. Why didn't they? Because part of their strategy is to force Israel to devastate Gaza: Hamas thrives on Gazan deaths because of the narrative it creates in the West.

It’s a truly dystopian world that allows the perpetrators of this evil to go free with impunity !

Others have said it’s as much as 600,000. Entire generations have been deleted from the face of the earth.
