THE SHAME OF THE WORLD, America and most Western countries are complicit. No conscience, no sense of humanity. And they claim to be Christians. It's the old colonial mentality of the white race, Palestinians ARE JUST BROWN MUSLIMS, inferior people

I'd add this is also a war on the poor, which has been escalating globally.

I'd rather say a war on DEFENSELESS PEOPLE, poor and no weapons

Those would be the little Gaza children proudly wearing their homicide vests on parade? Get serious.

Well then Laurie, they were even more stupid than I thought. Attack a superior force when they were asleep with rocks and sticks.

The world will be a better place without stupidity like that.

Natural Selection.

What has "Palestine" ever contributed to the betterment of the human race??? The jews contributions are innumerable by comparison.

I'm sure the Nazis were saying something just like this about the Jews in the 1930's

No it's not a war. That Israeli PROPAGANDA, TRYING TO JUSTIFY KILLING AS MANY PPL AS POSSIBLE

Israel's genocide has murdered not only the reputation of world powers, but the very idea of what it means to be human.

Israel and its accomplices have forced this question: who are we as a species?

Web have failed as a species, after about 300,000 years, we have not evolved. THE STRONG AND EVIL can do what they want with impunity. Netanyahu is a war criminal with an arrest warrant but is allowed to give a speech at the UN General assembly

Dude, that’s not how evolution works. It’s not some continuous improvement toward perfection, it’s continuous adaptation to the environment. The horseshoe crab has been basically the same for about 440 million years.

Turtles are around 230 million years old, some forms of sharks even over 100 million, and I could go on and on.

We already control our environment. There’s no environmental pressure on Homo sapiens to change, which would otherwise thin out unoptimized variations of humans and drive what we call evolution.

Actually, there are a few exceptions, for example the ability to digest milk from other animals, or skin color adaptations to different levels of UV radiation, but those are relatively small scale evolutionary adaptations, not large structural or species level changes.

What a primitive idea of evolution. Besides biological beings , WE ARE ALSO MORAL BEINGS.. WE SHOULD EVOLVE MORALLY TOO

Morality is a normative term, what is considered good or bad is always perceived through the lens of some dogma.

There are a ton of dogmas in the world, so which one do you assume we are going to use? You can throw out any of them, and believe me, I can shred it to pieces without any problem.

Hitler thought he was moral when he started a war and tried to eradicate Jews, Slavs, and the disabled.

Mao thought he was moral when he launched the Great Leap Forward, which killed around 40 million people.

Stalin and Lenin thought they were moral during collectivization and the Holodomor, which killed about 20 million.

Breivik thought he was moral when he killed those young social democrats because he believed it would save Norway.

The fuckers who shot up Charlie Hebdo thought they were moral because someone mocked their sky daddys chosen person.

The leaders of the Kool Aid gang in the United States thought they were moral because they were helping their followers reach eternal bliss.

The Aum Shinrikyo cult in Tokyo thought they were moral when they gassed people in the subway.

Settlers think they are moral because they believe the land was promised in a glorified comic book from three thousand years ago.

And I can go on and on, because people always think they are moral. Very few will wake up and say, today I am going to be a fucking piece of shit.

In short, morality and passing normative statements based on dogmas are for retards. Rise above that dude.

You are upset because Netanyahu blew up the amusement parks in Gaza first.

Gaza was doing just fine, sucking money from around 1the world via UNRWA. They had malls, running water, power etc. None of which were built by the knuckle draggers of GAZA, but outsiders.

Now they have nothing and will live like hill billys, that they are.

Remember, til this skirmish, more Palestinians died at the hands of their fellow Arabs, than Israel had dispatched to Allah.

Your comment is constructed on prejudice, lies & ignorance. Such structures need to be demolished… not Gaza nor the Palestinian people, who are among the most highly educated in the world.

"Palestinian people, who are among the most highly educated in the world."

Sorry, not even in the top 10 countries, with India at the bottom of that list at 12%.

The only thing Gaza dwellers exceed at is grifting the UN, and people like you.

You should fact check!

They were doing just fine on their own until the zios arrived and drove them from their homes at gunpoint slaughtering 15000

Even the Jews I know whose families have lived in Jerusalem for generations want the Zionists to pack up and go back to Europe and the US and let them live in peace with their Palestinian Christian and Muslim neighbours same as they have done for generations

Why should Hamas trust any plan that comes from Trump or Netanyahu? Both men are delusional, and Netanyahu is a war criminal. Trump and the Europeans are still sending weapons to Israel. The so-called peace plan will not benefit the Palestinians in any way. It's a sham.

I can't imagine one word that would justify bombing a country into nothing but scorched earth.

What threat is lurking in Gaza now? What is Israel afraid of? When famine and bombs are all the citizens have left? How do you justify bombing "terrorists". Those trapped who do not have enough food to be a credible risk are terrorists?. It is astonishing how the human mind can find an excuse for anything, even killing children and private elder citizens AND? Destroying a piece of God's earth.

Huda's fierce determination brings me to tears. She's trying to study for her final exams!!! Her superbly written narrative viscerally manifests the terror of existence under such evil brutality. Thank you, Huda, for your courage, grace and tenacity! Many hearts are with you, which I know is small comfort. Thanks, DropSite, for sharing her words.

There is really nothing more to say. Evil of a very particular kind has taken hold in Gaza and the world stands by not wanting to know. This article says it all. If it doesn't move you or you think there is a response, then you have lost all sense of humanity. I am glad I am old as I will not have to witness more of this inhumanity of man to man. At one time, many of us had faith in love and kindness. That does not exist in today's world any more when all are willing to witness evil of this kind and are unable to do anything.

Yes, the ceasefire is about survival. That is my dream too. The horror you have been living under for 2 years breaks my heart and soul. If a ceasefire is reached I will be holding my breath for it to continue. I don’t think from what I have read that it is a fair deal but it is not for me to judge. You are a very talented writer and reporter and I hope you can continue your studies.

Of couse it's not a for deal - Hamas is dead men walking. You can bet Israel will hunt down every Hamas operative in every country in the world and give them a pass to Allah's knee bounce.

So painful to even read about. While these crazy negotiations on an ultimatum is going on we have to get even louder on the streets in protest and support of Palestine.

At Oct 7th, Hamas enjoyed 93% support of Gaza dwellers.

Yeh reaps what yeh sews! enjoy. What kind of half-whit would attack a superior force, hoping to get the better of them in the long run????

Since Islam (a dogma, not mature enough to be a religion) is a death cult, one would question why so much angst in the populace about diieing?

It is incredible that Israel, treated so shamefully and cruelly during WW2, can behave in the same way towards others. This is inexcusable.

Reading this, it’s impossible to ignore the truth: Gaza is being erased in real time, and the world is watching. No proposal or ceasefire plan can mean anything unless it stops the killing and allows people to live with dignity
