Russ, my last word. Just not true. Reporting by US and global media has been extensive. War is hell. So don’t make war. No one dies. Everyone prospers.

I am a humanist, Russ. But as one of my daughter’s friends is a hostage, children of my friends have been called up to fight — and I’ve actually been to Gaza where Gazans blame Hamas for their misery — the solution is simple: take “yes” for an answer on peace and statehood offered for decades.

No Gaza genocide by any accepted definition, Russ.

Hamas Health Ministry: 43k dead; IDF: 1/2 are actually Hamas warriors.

The roughly 1-to-1 combatant to civilian death ratio is almost unheard of it modern warfare, especially given complexity of Gaza.

I get the passion. But facts matter.
