Thank you for speaking out. It’s very bravehearted of you to do so. I was saying something about how my first husband is German and we’d go there every year to visit his family, and Frank would end up watching a lot of BBC World News because German TV is lousy and somewhere between 2008-2015- I can’t remember what year or years- Israel was bombing and attacking Gaza and the videos and images and stories of the violent horrors happening in Gaza were worse than anything I’ve ever seen. The Gulf War was antiseptic, night vision, looked like video games. Iraq & Afghanistan- we never saw the aftermath of the horrors of drone strikes. But this was unbelievably gruesome what was happening in Gaza, and as soon as we got back to NY- nothing, I mean nothing was said or shown here that was anywhere near what they were showing in Germany. Our US media has completely sanitized and erased what’s been happening in Palestine for decades. When I made this comment on a liberal activist post she called me “ridiculous.” I am with you 💯 Palestinian lives matter.
