Israel/Palestine

Gazans are trapped, with little or no defense capability; it's not a war, it's shooting fish in a barrel.

The UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimated that as of Oct. 1, the number of Palestinian deaths in Gaza alone directly from violence alone totalled 41,615, with another 10,000 estimated under the rubble.

According to an October 2, 2024 letter to Pres. Biden from a group of US physicians, another 62,413 people in Gaza have died from starvation.

I have great sympathy and admiration for the Jewish people generally; but the trauma they've endured seems to be resulting in a new catastrophe.

Call it by its names: genocide and ethnic cleansing.

And we are complicit.
