why you ough to be ashamed

Others have been killed at random, simply for existing. Al-Shaima Akram Saidam was the highest-scoring student in last year’s Palestinian high school exams. She wanted to study English at university and work as a translator. She was killed by an Israeli bomb. Abu Shadi ran a popular knafeh restaurant. Every day, people used to queue up outside his place; if they couldn’t afford to pay for his sweets he gave them away for free. He was killed by an Israeli bomb. Elham Farah was a music teacher; she taught generations of Gazan children to play the piano. When the bombs came, she sheltered with some other Christians in the Holy Family Church. During a quiet moment, she left the church to see if her house was still standing, and an Israeli soldier shot her in the leg. The people inside the church tried to help her, but every time they stepped outside the Israelis opened fire. She died slowly in the street. Later, an Israeli tank rolled over her corpse. Yotam Haim, Alon Shamriz, and Samer Talalqa were three Israeli hostages captured by Hamas on October 7th. Two months later they managed to free themselves. They approached Israeli troops while stripped to the waist, waving a white flag, and calling for help in Hebrew. An Israeli sniper shot and killed Tamriz and Talalka instantly. Haim fled into a nearby building. Soldiers followed and called for him to come out. When he did they killed him too.

you and I westerners, are all accomplices to this, willing or not. this made me cry, hope you will too.

    The first part sounds good, but then reads like bait to draw in leftist readers into the next half, which is a really long winded, round about way of both sidesing the conflict and even conflating Zionism and Judaism.
