Hamas is evil and stupid but the attempt to suggest a moral superiority on Israel's part here boggles the mind. Keep in mind that the more "appalled" the rhetoric the emptier the boast. Sometimes it is better to just stay silent on such a sad day.
I know there are other Israelis who feel the same, but they are scared to speak up. The International community MUST pressure Israel to stop the horrors in Gaza. We need your help.

spending yom kippur in brooklyn with hundreds of jews who reject the notion that jewish safety must come at the expense of palestinians, for our liberation is intertwined
Very sad.
@WHO confirms that a 10-month-old baby in #Gaza is now paralysed due to #Polio. The first case in more than 25 years.
Polio will not make the distinction between Palestinian & Israeli children.
Delaying a humanitarian pause will increase the risk of spread among children.
It is not enough to bring the vaccines into Gaza + protect the cold chain. To have an impact, the vaccines must end up in the mouths of every child under the age of 10.
@UNRWA medical teams will deliver the vaccines in our clinics and through our mobile health teams.
Since the war began and with thx to these efforts, 80% of children across Gaza have received vaccines against different childhood diseases.
We will continue.
#CeasefireNOW
Mothers in Gaza will be stroking their children’s hair, saying “I know habibti, your leg is missing and you have polio and are the last of our bloodline but give thanks to God, it could be so much worse, you could belong to UCLA Hillel at the start of the 2024/25 school year”
Do all the Israelis and supporters of Israel who have obsessed over Hamas ‘human shields’ for the past 10 months, and justified mass killings because ‘human shields!’, have anything to say about the Israeli military’s use of Palestinian human shields in Gaza? Anything at all? No?
Elana lost her son on the same morning I lost my parents. But we gained each other and a tribe of peacemakers.
I admire Elana, and I'm sure you will too after hearing what she said last Saturday. Please share.
Israel is genociding Palestinians in Gaza. Decent people are devastated by the screams and endless pain of mothers, fathers and children abandoned to the fury of their executioners.
Where is the so-called civilised world?
Shame on us, really.
Doxxing a flight attendant because they wear a Palestinian flag pin and demanding they be punished is not combating anti-semitism. It’s anti-Palestinian hatred and racism instead.
This is a profoundly unhelpful tweet that makes our Jewish community look threatened by the simple acknowledgment of Palestinian peoplehood and humanity. This pin is no more political or harmful than an Israeli flag or yellow hostage pin would be — something most Jews would be heartened to see. But our humanity is not binary, and this is absolutely not the way forward to a future where everyone, of every background, is seen, valued, protected and liberated. Trauma is not an excuse for dehumanization. Our Jewish values demand better.
