The loss of life in Texas floods is tragic, the stories and details of those children who were lost is heartbreaking. This was an 'act of God', tragic but seemingly unpreventable. I feel such sadness reading of that AND of the children killed in Gaza.
Both are cases of needless loss of innocent life. However, in the case of Gaza I also feel anger. Anger that our government supports it, anger that people are silent, anger that people can somehow 'justify' the slaughter of innocent children.
I understand the Texas loss is 'closer to home' and much more relatable to Americans (we luckily rarely feel any 'direct' cost of war), but for your souls & for the soul of this nation, think of the tens of thousands of children we helped kill and are still killing in Gaza. Feel that same pain that you feel for the loss of life in Texas for those lost in Gaza. Feel anger that it is being done 'in your name', using your hard work (via taxes), risking your security (via blowback) & your liberty (attacks on free speech & privacy).
Do your part to make it stop. Contact your representatives in house & senate. Contact the White House. Sympathy for innocent children should be universal.
