Indignance and horror are voiced: too many innocent people are dying in Gaza.
Life there is not life at all. It is the most basic of survival scenarios, where nothing is working and little is available in the way of relief. Eighty percent of the population is misplaced, away from home. Food and water and medical care are next to non-existent for many; fear and anger are vying for the prevailing emotion, and people are resigning themselves to the possibility that they may not live much longer.
WHAT THE HELL?!
If Hamas’ goal was to turn the world against Israel, confident of the excessive response it would mount, they might be achieving that goal. It’s ironic and not a little maddening, though—that a barbaric attack on civilians and any Israeli that moved on October 7 has mushroomed into and is somewhat overshadowed by an Israeli response that’s fomenting impatience and anti-Israeli sentiment.
All war all the time, and all is fair. Is this the best we can do?
