In prepared remarks that recently went viral, former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz lamented that she “can’t have a sane conversation” about Israel and Gaza because “you have TikTok just smashing our young people’s brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza… I want to give data and information and facts and arguments, and they are just seeing in their minds carnage, and I sound obscene.”

The same article places the situation in #Gaza in perspective:
2.2 million Palestinians lived in the Strip.
Overall, the territory was more densely populated than Boston, while its largest urban center, Gaza City, was more crowded than New York City.
Gaza’s refugee camps were among the most densely populated places on Earth, reaching 184,000 and 85,000 people per km2, compared to less than 30,000 per km2 in the world’s most densely populated city, Mumbai.

From this article:
Since Oct. 2023, the US
- has spent upwards of $32 billion (!!) on material and support ,
- deployed the American military against groups that sought to stop the assault by Israel,
- vetoed seven UN Security Council resolutions
- while ignoring or undermining the four resolutions it didn’t veto,
- and repeatedly sanctioned the International Criminal Court after it issued arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas officials.
