“Did you see the old woman bent over, making her way with both hands on the ground across the wasteland that is Gaza? No one came to help her. She had no choice but to leave whatever shelter she had found before the orders were given, and the people once again gathered their things and fled. Before the planes came as they always do at night when families are huddled in schools, on hospital grounds, in tents as sturdy and bulletproof as cobwebs and thistles. Can you even begin to fathom how warped a person’s humanity must become in order to deliberately target Palestinian families asleep in the fields and meadows of their dreams, perhaps recalling days of peace and simple pleasures while encamped on barren stones and the still-smoldering remains of what had once been homes, shops, hospitals, schools, mosques, and universities?” (06/19/25)
