You can't figure out that "media" or "politicians" or "corporations" cared enough to try to do something?
I guess some "people" need things explained for lack of...whatever.

5. Over 460 people killed by IDF and at least 6 babies in flimsy tents frozen to death since the "ceasefire".

The last remaining 2,500 buildings systematically and with malice demolished.

Oh and have you seen the recent violent raid on a university in the West Bank in which dozens were injured by live fire and 8,000 students terrorized? No, it didn't rate much coverage here. So here you go:

Nowhere and no one is safe. THAT'S state-sponsored terrorism.

Palestinians are being terrorized daily wirh the goal of erasure and forcible transfer out of their homeland. By the apartheid genocidal state of Israel.

Now, what were you saying about Hamas?

Those who haven't "understood" after 2+ years of unspeakable evil against Palestinians by Israel but instead continue to BLAME HAMAS!...don't hold your breath they will suddenly empathize or "see the light".

After all, you'd have to see Palestinians as equally human and worthy of life as Renee and Alex - or the victims of October 7th. Also be able to see Israel for what it is and what it always was going to become - not what you were taught it is or believed it is.

•Hamas's kidnappings, and slaughter on Oct 7.
•Bibi's out of control destruction GAZA
•The often interference of IDF of food & aid trucks to the Palestinians.
•The continued usurping of West Bank homes, olive trees/groves etc by interfering Israeli, and RW US Jews.With IDF just letting it happen.

"and what it always was going to become"

However I reject this blanket statement.
You don't know how Israel could have evolved if Rabin hadn't been assassinated by the likes of RW Israelis including Bibi who helped foment hatred for Rabin. I've never forgotten that.

I'm almost sure though they may be smaller numbers there are still Jews, Christians, and Arab Muslims who are working for justice, equality, and peace together, now; as they have in the past.
