I think they have stepped back from this topic. I am no expert on this subject or war/conflict in general, I just feel that the world should have learned by now other "default" actions besides "they came onto OUR LAND and killed x people, so we're gonna go onto THEIR LAND and kill double." Etc. We should all have a general respect for life & want to see conflicts resolved in ways that allow innocent people to start over & heal, instead of create deeper hate and despair. The current leadership in Israel does not bode well for resolution.
It's so very disappointing that this response is so predictable that I literally called it on October 8.
I did the math to show that October 7, 2023 wasn't just Israel's 9/11, it was faaaaar worse on a per capita adjustment, it was closer to 15 x 9/11 which is devastating. But I also cautioned that restraint was crucial so Israel didn't make the mistake of invading Iraq for no reason, or the various other abuses of human roghts that followed (e.g folks have been in GITMO without trial and/or charges even laid, for over 2 decades).
And I also used the example of using air strikes which kill entire wedding parties, etc. which rather than help Israeli security, make it more perilous (effective recruiting tool).
And thank you, I'm glad someone is reading my posts!
Horrendous fact is that last week, Palestinian Gaza resident death numbers hit 20k. I did the math, means that over the course of 74 days, Gaza has been hit with the per capita equivalent of 13 x 9/11's EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Which gets us to this absolutely horrendous figure: 74 x 13 = 962
Meaning that as of last week, Palestinians in Gaza had experienced the equivalent of 962 September 11's.
