42 victims of the Oct. 7 Nova concert have filed a civil lawsuit against the IDF, police, and Israel's internal security service.

Biden admin was concerned a pause in Israeli bombardment would open Gaza up to more journalists to cover Israeli crimes & “turn public opinion”.
Read that again. They strategized how to subvert coverage using Palestinian lives. Then consider how Israel has killed 49 journalists.
Even wars is governed by laws
Even during times of war, there are laws to follow governed by the 1949 Geneva Convention that put a limit to the barbarity of wars and forbid collective punishment of a population.
Some basic levels warring parties must adhere to:
- Distinguish between combatants and civilians.
- Preserve civilian infrastructure such as houses, hospitals and schools.
-Give prior warning of attacks if civilians are present in targeted locations.
- Allow the passage of impartial humanitarian aid.
- Leave civilians and captured combatants unharmed.
- Murder, cruel treatment, torture and taking hostages are forbidden.
Power imbalances between warring parties are not taken into account and they are judged solely based on their actions. The laws, as such, apply equally to Hamas.

International rights experts raised alarms over the Israeli military’s indiscriminate nature of the offensive in Gaza that has killed at least 1,100 Palestinians (lots of children and women) and destroyed schools and hospitals. The activists say the complete blockade of Gaza with the cut-off of water, electricity, and fuel supply violates international laws.

A guy ran his car into a Muslim family of five, killed four - we won't see pontifications on whether he had connections to this group or that ideology. Hate crimes are often, if not always, treated as one-offs, never connected to a system of hate rooted in identity & ideology.
You don't need to go to Allah whole. Just go to Him. Standing, sitting, or on your knees. Go to Him broken. Go to Him poor. Hand Him your shattered heart. He will return it to you whole.
