The truth no matter how ugly, needs to be seen. That's the only way we can hope to bring an end to this before it turns into a multi-front war.

I must say, I think it's to late in the game to stop it.

The people are still resisting. They haven't given up. We can't either. But I understand and sympathize enormously with the feeling.

I long for the day China announces it's rebuilding Gaza in one year.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. I'll throw a party. You're all invited.

Thanks so much for recommending this film, Mike. I started to watch it, and found the personal stories invaluable. But then, when the narrative started to replay the "greatest hits" from the last year I had to stop. It was bad enough living through it the first time. I'm one of those empaths you wrote about. But I will watch the whole thing. Interestingly, even Palestinians themselves now are encouraging the rest of us to rest, to take a break from the carnage.

I thought of you most when writing that line.

Aw. Thank you. That felt like a hug across the Atlantic. I finished it this afternoon. It was brilliant and as difficult as I expected. But thank you for nudging me to finish it. Found some great food for future essays, which I swear I will get back to writing someday....

Yes, taking a break is critical in a world of constant information, dis and mis much of the time.
