I feel like her story crossed many lines. Watching videos from Gaza of innocent children with burnt bodies, brains exposed, or a boy with a blown-off leg and a burned face screaming in agony with rubble in his throat, I can’t help but feel that Loren’s humanity is selective. Perhaps if the Palestinians looked more European, she would have shown them sympathy. When Netanyahu quotes biblical texts to justify acts of violence, it’s not seen as terrorism. How much is too much for her? How many more babies and children does she want to see blown to bits to justify October 7th?
I condemn Hamas and the killing of all innocent civilians. I also condemn Israel for killing and carpet bombing Palestinian homes. As a leader, I wouldn’t bomb a city to bits, knowing I could potentially be killing the hostages that justified starting the war. My priority would be to send a special ops team to extract the hostages. If the exact location of the tunnels is known, why bomb from above without confirming the hostages are there? It makes no sense. Ignorance is bliss, and it shows.
It’s funny how she equates terrorism exclusively with Muslims. The mass shooting in Maine wasn’t carried out by a Muslim, but it was terrorism. Looking at statistics, the majority of mass shootings were not carried out by Muslims. Radicals exist in all religions; it’s not exclusive to Muslims. The majority of the war cabinet members in Israel are radicals, calling Palestinian children and babies animals and barbaric, blindly murdering them to pave the way for luxury condos and oil exploration. Google the leaked Israeli think tank document explaining their plan for the Gaza Strip. Israel has also approved oil exploration permits for companies like BP to search near the coast of Gaza. Islamophobia is real, and Loren is an Islamophobe.
Just here to tell you to watch a recording of any prominent leaders of Hamas speaking on the conflict. They routinely say their aim is to kill Jews across the globe. They say that it’s a shame the Holocaust ended early. Loren’s husband grew up having to run for shelter or avoid certain areas because of bombings that had taken place days before. Every Jew I know has lost a friend or family member in this most recent war. Loren’s husband has 100% lost someone he knew before this war. This is the reality of the conflict.
I am a Jew living in a Muslim country and it’s been terrifying at times because of the things I hear people saying right in front of me. I don’t know where her statistics came from and hesitate to believe them. However, I understand why both sides are scared. The majority of Israelis feel that there absolutely needs to be a ceasefire. I just wish the best for people on both sides. They deserve to live in peace.
THIS and my heart goes to you living in fear daily. That’s just not right but my guess would be that all your Muslim neighbors don’t want you dead
