I think we can all relate. I'm here on this thread for the long run. No matter how badly i feel i just keep reminding myself that what i feel is nothing compared to what the heroic people of Gaza are feeling. No bombs dropping on me, no dead children to pick up piece by piece. I have clothes, food, water, a roof over my head. I should be offering them courage but instead i find that it is them who offer me courage.

I posted this the other day by Caitlin Johnstone i'll link you to it in case you missed it I Will Not Look Away.
FTR, @Awoken2 , I completely understand your stance. I'd have to say I'm somewhere in between you and @Stucky. Some of pictures are truly horrific! It's why I'm in this thread occasionally because as one reporter said, Palestine is "worse than hell", and sadly, I agree with the pictures I've seen, and it can take an emotional toll on anyone and feeling helpless not being able to prevent or stop it. That said, there is, albeit, a small gesture of solidarity that can be made by wearing a the keffiyeh scarf. Granted, I wouldn't walk up and down Bathurst Street with it on, but I suppose it's something
After observing the msn's coverage of this atrocity over the last few weeks I've come to the realisation that their objective is to desensitise us all to the death and suffering that this population is being subjected to. They are just trying to normalise this barbarism.

Have you noticed @Stucky how on the news every time they mention the name Hamas they immediately follow with the phrase "who the British government have labelled a terrorist organisation"?
It's like they've got an IDF gunman aiming at their head. It sickens me how this narrative is being presented with the media now gas lighting the world with impunity.

The Caitlin Johnstone piece was heart rending but the incremental trauma I receive viewing these images/footage isn't beneficial for me. I have to do damage limitation on this, but I do understand the sentiment

@Orwell's mentor I've not been able to view any of the images, I can't stomach it. It's too much for me. Here in the UK we've had a constant bombardment of images of Palestinians crawling over the rubble of their homes looking for family members and lot's of maimed children lying in makeshift hospitals....it's repulsive.

I'm not joking when I tell you on last night's news they were broadcasting the bodycam of the IDF murderers like they are on some type of crusade. Unbelievable!

....not sure about sporting the scarf, may rise a few eyebrows at work.
