I've been avoiding the news but saw something awful just now. What's going on in Gaza is sickening. This shit has to be war crimes.
It’s awful. Netanyahu is 74. My feeling is that he isn’t bothered by the concept of war crimes. He wants to wipe hamas and as many Palestinians as he can off the face of the earth, and be seen as a hero and martyr. He’s not doing this alone either. The current politics make it seem unlikely that war crimes will ever be perused though. The world is a depressing place sometimes. I don’t know what to say except avoid the news, or if you do look, then know it’s gonna be shitty. I’m enormously grateful I live in a country like Australia.

I saw about Hind Rajab. (TW child death)
This entire thing is fucked
nothing but suffering , death and destruction for the Gazan people. hamas leaders are still living in luxury in Qatar. Hamas terrorists are being captured and taken prisoner.
and it could end tomorrow, to save the Gazan people all hamas has to do is release the 100 hostages, stop bombing Israel and surrender
