What's happening in Gaza is unspeakably horrible. Before all of this carnage began, I had the impression that Biden was a decent person. Now , I don't no what to think about him. I cannot understand why he isn't making every possible effort to stop the murder of innocent civilians in Gaza. How many children have to be killed before the he gains a conscience? I'm old enough to have witnessed Vietnam, Reagan"s wars in Central America, and the invasion of Iraq. All of them war crimes. I think that, as a Nation, we lost our way a very long time ago.
Thank you, Rob. I feel like you are getting to the heart of the issue here. The numbness and soul deafness [I wrote "deadness" but I'll accept the autocorrect] that is so similar to our silence in the face of other-than-human vanishings. And likely it's similar because we have been conditioned to see certain people as other than human.

Thanks for this.
Thank you. I can’t seem to find words anymore, I’m glad that you can and they are such solid, light-filled things. This cannot go on, cannot.
You found some good words there. Thanks.

Good autocorrect. Yes, the connection is hard to miss.
We all should indeed recognize the importance of speaking out and raising awareness on such injustices and atrocities.
