18 people injured as of now, more people are asking for medical assistance with shrapnel wounds, concussions and acute stress reactions.
Residential building and vehicles damaged, as per usual Russian tactics of attacking Ukrainian civilians.
Iโm neither Jewish nor Muslim. I donโt have a side here, except my humanity.
Itโs unbearable to see the people who once suffered the Holocaust now see their politicians carrying out genocide against Palestinians.
All of this driven by Israeli politics, Gaza paying the price.

We have to hold governments accountable without slipping into prejudice โ thatโs the only way to stand for justice while also standing against hate. ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ต๐ธ
That is wrong, and it shuts down the space needed for honest discussion.
Just as people across the world are horrified by whatโs happening, there are also Jewish and more widely Israeli voices who are speaking out against the war crimes being perpetrated in their namesโฆ.
Itโs important to say this clearly: criticising a governmentโs policies and their war criminal prime minister is not the same thing as criticising a people or a faith. Too often, any questioning of the Israeli governmentโs actions in Gaza was deliberately conflated with antisemitism.

This shed light on something we donโt always hear about: the growing divide between many Israeli citizens and their right-wing govt.

WPS is yet another woke divisive/social justice/Biden initiative that overburdens our commanders and troops โ distracting from our core task: WAR-FIGHTING. WPS is a UNITED NATIONS program pushed by feminists and left-wing activists. Politicians fawn over it; troops HATE it. DoD will hereby executive the minimum of WPS required by statute, and fight to end the program for our next budget. GOOD RIDDANCE WPS!
There's strong evidence that women's participation in security efforts makes countries safer.
That's why leaders in over 100 countries have taken action to further it.
One of themโwho signed the U.S. Women, Peace & Security Act into law in 2017โwas Donald Trump.
