Gaza has revealed a fracture in our world so deep that once seen, it can't be unseen. Today I found myself mostly silent. Went to the Bronx Zoo with my niece and watching happy, curious children brought a sharp sadness. I couldn't help but think of the unimaginable horror & trauma the children of Gaza have endured - stolen childhoods, irreversible damage. They should be enjoying their childhoods. I imagined them there, looking at the animals, smiling in amazement like the children I saw today.
The story of the boy falling into a boiling pot of water broke me today. He died hungry 😞
It's important more than ever to speak out and to document what's happening, but when will this madness and cruelty end?
I don't even know what question to ask anymore. Because it will end when our leaders decide it ends, & they'll only end it when it no longer serves their interests. How unbelievably cruel and maddening to exist in such a world.
Once again I applaud your efforts to spread "the horror", to quote a line from Apocalypse Now. This one was exceptionally gruesome, and its impact should startle and annoy the sleepers and deniers. Keep safe and don't become a target.
Out of all the heartbreaking things compiled here, this one quote hurt me the most - “A woman in Gaza described trying to explain the famine to little children. ‘We struggle to convince them that we are not punishing them by hiding food.’” Also, Sara Netanyahu is a demon.
The hatred documented in this post is unbearable. We've entered a new dark age where cruelty has become entertainment.

You are doing this so we don't have to. Hats off.

I second this comment. Grateful to your witness that enables us to also bear witness.
