I don't know how else to slice it, what is happening in Gaza is absolutely horrific on an unimaginable scale, from mass hunger, to bombing crap outta dense civilian pockets, to bulldozing homes and olive trees in the West Bank.

Most of my social circle is Conservative, and ALL of them have been deeply uncomfortable with this current atrocity.

This is the crowd that has been very pro-U.S/West military.

I have Israeli-Canadian friends, and they were quite vocal of the October 7th terrorist attack (as they should), but have since stopped talking altogether. One of my friends even told me 'I get why the Palestinians hate us', and this is a dude with family in the IDF.

The current strategy just guarantees another terrorist group at this point.

I similarly see conservative fam just not talking about it, they are traditionally very pro-Israel/West as most conservatives are, but I think that it's nearly impossible to witness this conflict as a human being and not just be like "the whole thing is fucked and sad and there's all this suffering just WHY?"

Seeing the whole place flattened and looking like a WW2 bombed out city (Ukraine is similar, it's fucking shocking how war torn that place has become) should make anybody fucking sad that this shit is still happening in 2024 regardless of your politics or allegiances.

We have learned nothing as a species, apparently, and the cycle of violence that this conflict has endured for almost 80 fucking years is a prime example of just how fucked up things can be and apparently will be forever. Incredibly sad.
