Bombed yesterday.

There are no remaining ICUs.

What more words can be said? May those responsible for the extermination of Gaza get everything they deserve. And those making excuses for it do some serious, serious soul-searching.

When we are powerless to stop evil, and our heart bleeds, it causes moral injury.

I wanted to share with you this article I found. I think you will relate to this concept of moral injury. The woman author, a new parent, expresses so profoundly what many of us have been feeling but not able to adequately express.

"I certainly feel a profound loss of faith. Something I felt to be true about humanity – that people are fundamentally good, that we owe it to children to protect them – has shifted because of this conflict. I walk around with a feeling of heaviness that I cannot seem to shake. Thousands of miles from Gaza, I am changed by the past 18 months. I have learned that, for some people, compassion for children has political limits. What does one do with that terrible knowledge once it sits inside you like a leaden stone? I don’t seem be able to find an answer."

All of this. So sadly true.

Thank you my friend.
