Thank you as always for your insightful posts, Alona.
As I live in Israel, I am completely aware of the way in which Israelis, while traumatized by the Hamas terrorist attacks of October 7, 2023, avert their eyes from the destruction, deaths and hunger we (Israel) are inflicting on Gaza's population.
I honestly have no real explanation for it. I cannot understand how people can fail to empathize with hungry children, while knowing that these children do not have to starve; there are more than 100,000 metric tons of food aid waiting at the border with Gaza, but Israel does not allow its entry.
Or maybe they simply do not want to see what they are doing.
Thank you so much for reading, Josie. I know there are people in Israel, like you, who do think about/know/actively oppose what’s being done in Gaza, and I also realise that it’s easy for me to think this from afar, that’s it’s very different to actually live this nightmare every day, but it was just so stark while I was there how absent Gaza was
