No more heartbreak than for Gaza. We in the USA who CARE for Gaza and all your beautiful and Brave Gazans, will

continue to PROTEST against Israel’s

Genocidal War and our own country’s

Billions of dollars to the Zionist government that has allowed this

Genocide to continue. I pray for your safety Donya.

Certainly, a hard experience but such things happen in war. And the current troubles in Gaza would not be happening if Hamas had not attacked Israeli civilians as well as foreign workers and people visiting Israel. The viciousness of Hamas' attacks, and Hamas' vow to repeat them a thousand times (which was cheered by the Gazans) correctly convinced Israeli leaders that it is necessary for Israel to secure a decisive victory over Hamas, to be followed by the demilitarization of Gaza and a deradicalization of the Gazans. Please note: As scary as the incident described by Donya Abu Sitta was, no one was injured or killed

Toby Block, I was doing to suggest a good book for you to maybe lead you to think differently, but I fear that would be in vain. What the heck, I'm going to do it anyway! Miko Peled, 'The General's Son'. Read it carefully, put aside your deeply entrenched beliefs; allow yourself to see, really see, what is at stake for both Israelis and Palestinians.
