It is unbelievable to me that so many people in the US aren’t horrified by Hamas. This would be like, in the US, if Native Americans decided that our ancestors took the land from their ancestors (which, unlike the situation in Israel, is pretty undeniably true), so they were going to kill everyone of European ancestry in the US and take it back. And then they proceeded to launch an attack where they stormed into the suburbs, broken into homes, and tortured and killed as many people as possible. Never mind that none of those ancestors on either side are alive anymore, and we are all individuals who have an equal voice in government and an equal right to work and acquire property. I don’t think that the people cheering Hamas would find it quite so defensible if they were on the receiving end of it, and were attacked by people they’d never personally done anything to.
I’m not Jewish, but I am appalled by everything happening. I work with an international team and one of my Israeli colleagues was killed in the attack. I hope that you know that there are many people who just can’t believe what’s happened in the US. The world has gone mad. I’m sorry.
Israel won’t let most Gazans into their area because they feel they are dangerous and want to kill Jews. Pretty sure Israel’s point was just proven. They could go anywhere else they want, except Hamas and other anti-Israel governments want them there, being used as human shields and progressing their own agenda of taking back land from Israel. Gaza is also free to create their own thriving society, and use the humanitarian aid they get to make life better for their own people, but instead they focus their efforts and resources on destroying Israel.
Amazing article. I will share it wisely—and wisely. But is it possible to have a conversation with you Danielle? I would absolutely like to be part of your world.
I am a ghostwriter, book publisher and promoter— 50 successful books so far. I am 83 and have a popular blog. I am proudly Jewish and spend two weeks in Israel in August. I’d love to talk to you and see how we can work together all of us, to help turn the tide. JUDY KATZ. May I have your email? Jkatzcreative@gmail.com.

How many kids in Gaza have y’all killed now?
Nonsense!
Open Air Concentration Camp is not what an Indian lives in!
Your very confused sadly.

I am descended from pogrom survivors. I cannot believe my eyes. Hoping against hope for your beloved hostage, and them all.
I think they’re bombing their own hostages.
Yes. Thank you.
Can y’all stop killing kids now?
Does "y'all" refer to Hamas? They are the child killers, as far as I can tell.
Wrong! Carpet Bombing by IDF is “killing” babies
Did you ignore that part?
Our family shares your anguish
