Recently I have seen 5 videos of decapitated children in Gaza, of parents and rescue workers cradling the disembodied heads of children. Today, I saw a young girl with half of her mouth missing, the other half hanging off by a shred of skin. I could go on and on, I've seen bodies flattened & broken by tank treds. I am disturbed by how inured people are, where did our culture go wrong to accept this violence? When I talk about it, some people justify (!) why those children must die. I feel so alienated from a culture that doesn't just accept this violence, but even glorifies it. Under every video, I'll read replies mocking the dead, making jokes about their slaughter. I don't know what to do, I feel helpless and ashamed to live in a society that is so violent, that discards human life so cheaply from the comfort of our televisions and iphones thousands of miles away. I don't talk about it here because we don't really talk about politics on Farcaster, but I can't stop thinking about it.

I am with you 100% I am disgusted that my taxes are funding a genocide. I am horrified that modern humans are capable of such atrocities. When I think about it, I feel helpless and hopeless and spiral into a genuine depression. What can we possibly do?

me too. I don't have an answer beyond saying over and over that I believe in the sanctity of all human life, that peace and equality are principles we cannot compromise on. finding other people who share those values and organizing with them, providing whatever assistance we can - whether with our voices, or bodies, our capital. reading, taking interest, not shying away from looking squarely at things expecting more from our leaders, our communities. there is great value in celebrating life & love & what bonds us together as people across ethnic, political or religious divides (as cheesy as that may sound)

Only one side has any sanctity for human life and it's not the one you guys seem to support. There are real atrocities, no doubt. But there are also real consequences to mass murder, kidnapping and rape, then promising to do it over and over again. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am on the side of the Israeli and the Palestinian people. I am not interested in the power grabs of the wealthy handful of people at the top that are trading lives for property rights. And yes, I see your anger about the October attacks and it is real and it is justified. But normally when someone commits a heinous crime, we try to punish the perpetrator, we don't try to murder the offender's neighbor's family.
