Hamas Attacks, Israel Responds

I mean millions of people think Donald Trump will be fun and great president for jews despite meeting with nazis in his beach house

 

Somewhat of a feel good "story." Given the current emotions, it takes a really big person to have this approach.

'We can't stop' - the Israeli woman still helping sick Palestinians

"I'm fighting to be good," she tells me. "I'm fighting to stay moral when both sides are in such terrible pain. I'm fighting to be the same person I was before."

Yael heads a charity called Road to Recovery, a group of Israeli volunteers who drive sick Palestinians - mostly children - from checkpoints in the occupied West Bank and Gaza to hospital appointments in Israel.
Or did.
The 1,000 or so volunteers can no longer take patients from Gaza, which is governed by Hamas. And four of them are dead - murdered as Palestinian gunmen stormed through their kibbutzim in southern Israel.
They include Vivian Silver, a renowned peace activist; Adi Dagan, who Yael describes as "funny" and always ready to step in and ferry patients at short notice in his big car; Tammy Suchman, a much-loved grandmother; and Eli Or-Gad, who loved talking about poetry.
Four other volunteers lost close family members on 7 October.

In the immediate aftermath of 7 October, Yael says she was so shaken that she could barely breathe.

"Something was broken in my heart and I said that I would never talk to people in Gaza again," she tells me.

But after a few days, she decided that she couldn't allow the atrocities to change her.

She and most of the Road to Recovery volunteers have continued to drive Palestinians from the West Bank to hospitals in Israel for cancer treatment, organ transplants and kidney dialysis. As soon as she can, she says she'll go and collect patients from Gaza again.


Emotionally, she feels like she's being torn apart. She has uncles and cousins who are adamantly opposed to what she's doing and accuse her of helping Hamas.

And it's not just family members who disapprove.


"When I'm driving with Palestinians through checkpoints in the West Bank, soldiers have asked me how I can do what I'm doing," she tells me. "Other people ask the same question."

"It's dangerous now to even talk about the suffering of the kids in Gaza - people look at me like I'm the enemy," she says, through sobs. "But I'm not doing it for the Palestinians, I'm doing it because I want to be proud to be Israeli. I believe that whether you're an Israeli or a Palestinian, a Jew or an Arab, people are people."

Some Palestinian families have reached out to find out how she is. But it's harder than ever now for those few people swimming against the tide by trying to bridge the divide between Israelis and Palestinians.

"Even people on the left say that we should flatten Gaza. Both sides have become more and more radicalised," Yael says.

"I really don't know what will happen in the future. But I know that both of us will still live here, so we must find a solution."

 

This issue was already brought up last month and I believe the mods agreed to keep such news in the thread, given how this is now a hodgepodge of both Israel/Gaza conflict and the public sentiment in the world (anti-semitism/islamophobia).

 

So is this a call for Genocide? Stefanik was just on Levin's show.

I'll leave you guys to put 2+2 together

Seems calls for genocide are fine for conservative podcasters and congresswomen

 

I really don't want to give that a click, but is there any chance it's a deliberate swipe at the "Their are no 'settler civilians' " lines?

 

I expected no less from Levin.

 

This is where the media absolutely got played. There will be no coverage of Stefanik going on a genocide for gaza show

 

It's bad faith all the way down.

If I was a conservative voter, let alone jewish, and discovered the no3 in congressional leadership was promoting neo-nazi race theory I'd be facking horrified that i voted for that party!

 

I see Bari Weiss was tweeting trolling the professor killed by the IDF overnight and sent him a wave of 'fans". It's too horrific so I am not going to post it here. Wonder if she will have any introspection

 

It uses genocidal tropes. The point is, this is who Stefanik hangs around with. But that won't be covered.

I guess Stefanik and Levin can't go on MIT campus!

 

There is something very ghoulish about supposed journalists / commentators crowing over his death
