Alle ogen gericht op een relatief heel klein conflict in Gaza, terwijl Rusland op diverse plekken op punt van doorbreken staat in Oekraïne. Terwijl de gevolgen van Russisch succes in Oekraïne voor Nederland veel erger zijn dan welke afloop in Gaza ook. Zonder daarmee het lijden in Gaza te willen bagatelliseren overigens.

Gaza / thoughts
The cruelty of how people in Gaza are being treated is hard to get my head around.
At one level I do understand it. Humans are able to think of other humans as not mattering & different from them. And a lot of people in Israel are _intentionally_ brought up to think of Palestinians as different from them & not mattering. Plus Israeli news doesn't show them the same things we're seeing. But still.
Dreading what's going to happen next in Rafah.

Wichtige Tatsache zum #Gaza-Konflikt: "Während des Kalten Krieges betrachteten der Sowjetblock und Teile der westlichen Linken die Sache „der Palästinenser“, vertreten durch die PLO, als ein Sonderanliegen der globalen Linken. In einer Art magischem Denken hat die Hamas, eine Organisation der extremen Rechten, von diesen ideologischen Gewohnheiten profitiert."
Such evil: “On one occasion, a handful of [Gazan] children, all about ages 5 to 8, were carried to the emergency room by their parents. All had single sniper shots to the head. These families were returning to their homes in Khan Yunis, about 2.5 miles away from the hospital, after Israeli tanks had withdrawn. But the snipers apparently stayed behind. None of these children survived.” #gaza

Israel is surely winning the war in Gaza on the ground and in a military sense. But totally losing it in the PR / communications departement. Ofcourse they say they don't care, in the longer term they will pay a heavy price however. Recruitment for any extremist palestinian faction will get easier for example. The future terrorists are growing up now and are being groomed, not necessarily inside Gaza.
