Hamas has never known a ceasefire it didn’t violate. And Hezbollah, Houthis, Iranian weapons, Russian disinformation, massive pro-Hamas rallies, especially In Our Lifetime IOL (not to be confused with OIL) are not pro-Palestinian. They are pro-Hamas. Let’s be clear about these things. Yes, international peace force (not necessarily UN) is essential for all these reasons. Hamas Charter says it all - annihilation of the Jewish people, not just Israelis; Islamic Jihad supremacy across the vast region, not a Palestinian state. My pointing out these complications is not meant to undermine the project of peace, but more to AGREE that without international intervention, little changes.
Thank you for this work that has to be especially hard, but ever more essential, at this time.
Free Palestine…from Hamas
Free Israel…from Kahanists
salaam / shalom
Amen to Hillel Schenker and Zia’d Abuzayyad. Amen to B L. (Couldn’t have put it better). And Mel Brooks is a gem. Thank you Esther for bringing all these voices in.
