I’m thinking about Sha’ban Al-Dalou and that he is at the end of a long line of other young men, Palestinian or Israeli, and whatever you want to call it, this war hasn’t felt like a war for a long time, if it ever was.

If beating evil means not just death but subjecting unwitting people just trying to exist to lives that are worse than death and then going on to kill them, I guess I’m not beating evil.

End the killing. Bring home the hostages. Arrest Netanyahu and Sinwar.

A reminder: Deligitimizing Jewish or Palestinian connections to the homeland is a bad look. Peace is the right look. Let’s focus on that.
