Medical personnel in Gaza have told local media that 100 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes since dawn on Tuesday.

Late Tuesday evening, local time, Israel targeted a camp housing forcibly displaced families west of Khan Younis, and also carried out heavy shelling on the Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City. Videos shared by local media show several dead and wounded children.

    Look at that little girl’s face.

    These are people. Just people.

    It’s not their fault for being born in Gaza.

    How can we still be committing genocide in the 21st century?

    What is wrong with us.

    That child is growing up in a genocide.

    So incredibly fucked up. How many of these now dead children never knew any other life than this hell?

    Fuck this mockery we’ve made of this beautiful, lucky planet. Idk if our species is really nearing it’s end-times like many seem to think, but I hope that when we finally do, we do not crawl back in any way or on any level. We took our chances and wasted every one of them. It’s well past time to let nature sort it back out and try again. Fuck.

    For you, the day the IDF graced your camp was the most important day in your life, but for me? It was Tuesday.

    Sam: It’s all wrong By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.

    Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?

    Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
