#Gaza’s shock attack has terrified #Israelis. It should also unveil the context:
“I remember that everything that I am feeling now, which every #Israeli must be sharing, has been the life experience of millions of #Palestinians for far too long. The only solution, as it has always been, is to bring an end of #apartheid, occupation, and siege, and promote a future based on #justice and #equality for all of us. It is not in spite of the horror that we have to change course — it is exactly because of it.” https://www.972mag.com/gaza-attack-context-israelis/

pushing the country towards a new dictatorship...
is absurd.
