Israel Is No Longer Looking into The Abyss. It Has Arrived.

“Babies on incubators begin to die.”

This is the news from Gaza today.

It’s a sentence that’s difficult to read. It’s even more difficult to understand – and imagine – what it actually means. Where we have arrived. Where Israel has arrived.

I will be recording a podcast episode with deeper analyses on what we’re seeing, but my thoughts – not just initial but something I was unwilling to express before – on this news are the following:

THIS IS that abyss people have been warning Israel is moving towards.

THIS IS that moral failure of our leadership.

THIS IS that infinite debt of humanity we owe to our Palestinian friends.

We will never forget what our leaders were silent about or, even worse, what they supported.

“Babies on incubators begin to die.”

I know it’s very difficult, but this is when we write, march, and support each other.

I don’t think my hope was ever in governments, only people.
