Speaking with moral clarity against the terrorism of Hamas is not about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
It is not about geopolitics.

It is about human decency.
It is indecent to blame the victims of terrorism rather than the terrorists themselves.
It is indecent to glorify the terrorism of Hamas as “resistance.”
It is indecent to lionize the paragliders who gunned down 260 young Israelis at a music festival.

Decency must prevail.

@ashishankolamd For a moment i thought it was "daily trauma". How does dialysis cause trauma to the kidneys?

@DCpicufellows @ChildrensNatl This is a great group of fellows who are very good clinically, nice people, good to nurses and have a sense of humor (some more than others 😅)!

At the risk of stating the obvious, there are 15m Jews on the planet, about 8m of them in Israel. That is 15m out of 8b people in the world.

How do you explain the absolute obsession with the Jews and its one and only microscopic state without using the word antisemitism?

Why is the news coverage about Israel so disproportionate to the tiny number of Jews or Israelis in the world?

Why are 60% of crimes against religions targeting Jews?

What is the obsession?

The Jews have done more to make the world a better place than anyone, so how do you explain it?

If you’re reading this post, chances are the device you’re reading it on has Israeli tech in it.

Do you know that Israelis invented drip irrigation? How about cherry tomatoes? Waze? The USB thumb drive?

What is there to hate?

Really? The Middle East conflict is the most important news item for the past 5 decades? More important than the literal atrocities happening in Iran, Russia, and Syria every single day?

Really? It’s 2023 and we are reviving all the good ol’ antisemitic tropes? The Jews control the media and the banks? We’re doing this again? For real?

I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that in today’s “civilized” world, the oldest hatred in the world is not only alive and kicking, it’s actually growing rampant.

It’s equally sad and terrifying.

I had so many questions about the holocaust growing up.

- How was the world silent? They knew what was happening. Why didn’t anyone defend the Jews?

- How could a “civilized” culture like Germany allow this to happen? Where was their moral compass?

- How did the Jews not see what was happening and run for their lives? How did their comfort and total assimilation make them so blind to what was happening?

I have had all those questions answered in the past five years, only replace ‘Germany’ with ‘America’.

Growing up, I always dismissed the saying “Never again” because I thought the holocaust **could** never happen again. The world would never support violence against Jews ever again.

And yet, here we are… 😢

@DanielimMD You have to look at all the people you save. Every one of the kids who come into your unit has an increased risk of dying. The ones who die standout. However, think of the ones who didn't die because of you, your colleagues, the awesome nurses etc..

@PCICS2 Having NPs in our CICU is one of the best things we have ever done. They add stability, consistency, quality care and relieve the burdon on our fellows. I absolutely love having our NPs as our partners in the CICU.
@criley212 why are are crouching down in that picture?
