Why do Western powers and the media struggle to show the same level of compassion for children in Gaza as they clearly express for those in Ukraine? Why can't we straightforwardly label the leveling of entire neighborhoods, places of worship, and schools as war crimes? If we in the West continue to stay silent when members of the press in Gaza are disproportionately killed while doing their jobs, we remain complicit in the atrocities described in this editorial.
@ExcludedOctopusRepublican4mos4MO
In part it is because the people of Gaza are not entirely innocent. There is widespread support for Hamas in Gaza. The people of Gaza let Hamas become what it is.
The total length of the tunnel system under Gaza seems to be close to that of New York City, a massive civil engineering project that cannot have been hidden from the populace. Of the thousands of tunnel entrances, most are in homes; the people living in these homes must have conspired with Hamas. Surely medical personnel must have known about the military structures beneath their hospitals, imams about work under their mosques, and… Read more

"we remain complicit in the atrocities described in this editorial." ,
because feckless politicians and AIPAC prevent meaningful action. No amount of hand-wringing will lead to change.
The entire US government has been suborned to oligarchs and their lobbyists, since at least the mid-1960's. You just sat by and let it happen. Yes- you are all complicit in these atrocities, just like all those "good Germans" who knew nothing from 1936 to 1945.

I believe that Palestine will be free.
We need a cease fire and codified protections for Gazans.
i don’t really care but it holds more water than the others
@9JPQBSH4mos4MO
It's tragic. No one, should have to go through war. It's useless and still doesn't answer any questions or solve anything.
@9JPP4W44mos4MO
I think that there needs to be more done for Gaza.
@9JPKYMT4mos4MO
free Palestine but with out Hamas
@9JPGNCG4mos4MO
i think the us should have helped before it was too late
@9JPDZBQ4mos4MO
It's really sad on what's going on in the Middle East.
@9JPHXR54mos4MO
I think it's horrible how a genocide is happening right in front of our eyes and that the us should not be involved in wars that have nothing to do with us
@9JPGNXH4mos4MO
It’s unfair and a very sad situation
@Centr1stChrisDemocrat4mos4MO
The current state of Gaza is exactly as Hamas planned and anticipated.
By making the October 7 attack as heinous and depraved as possible, and then vowing to do it again and again, it guaranteed that Israel would have to launch a campaign to eradicate them.
By hiding in, and fighting from, the civilian population, Hamas sought—actually sought—to maximize casualties. This was always an important part of the PR campaign. Sacrifice children to bring first Arab, then Western, condemnation on Israel. For the same reasons they strategically located headquarters and weapons caches in hosp… Read more

Israel is a terrorist nation that is enforcing apartheid on the people of palestein israil has no right to that land.
@9JPGTSR4mos4MO
I think the idea of nothing left in Gaza and the genocide occurring in Gaza between Palestine and Israel is absurd. I find it absolutely ridiculous that the United states is funding and assisting Israel for such causes and making poor choices of the use. It is morally incorrect and disgusting what Is occurring for those in Gaza suffering the torment of Israel and I see no action being done to help those being killed. Those innocent people that are struggling yet we aren't doing anything.
@OriginalSnailGreen4mos4MO
25,000+ lives too late. More women and children killed in 8 weeks in Gaza, than in 2 years in Ukraine...too late. The most "dense neighborhood bombing" in modern history...too late.
All information relayed in this paper yet, we see columns like this only now?
I have supported Israel all my life, but the victim has clearly become the perpetrator, with the complicity of the United States.
In the words of Auschwitz survivor Primo Levi - he wrote the seminal book, “Survival in Auschwitz” after the Russians arrived to find him and a handful of others at the end of the war - in… Read more
