In an in-depth three part-series, new Zeteo contributor Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, who has volunteered in Gaza, unpacks what we actually know about Gaza's real death toll.
When these horrible people say the Tik Tok generation don’t know “facts and figures”, I lose all hope that politicians will ever listen. The young people I’ve encountered who have been unfortunate enough to witness a Holocaust on their screens are very educated on the history of the region. We all grew up learning the horrors of the Holocaust and the lesson was never again for anyone! As I browsed my Instagram feed and saw a baby shaking in pain from the burns she suffered I broke down in tears. I am never numb to the atrocities, but I am a bit broken wondering how we live in a world where this can occur. Empathy is gone and the sanctity of life seems to mean nothing to those in powerful positions.
This is outstanding Doc. Thanks for doing this series. I am surprised you decided not to use the “…wall of dead children” quote for Hurwitz. That one stuck with me for days, but I think all this speaks for itself.
Thank you, Dr. Sidhwa, first, for your work in Gaza; second, for your ongoing efforts to educate us about how our tax dollars are being used to devastate a civilian population; and third, for this clear summary. I have heard your interviews before, and those of several other health care workers who volunteered in Gaza. They, together with student protesters, honest journalists and artists have served as my teachers. Thank you, Zeteo, for not abandoning the Palestinians and for publishing this important work.
Later in life than expected, I have been reeducated. Gaza has done that. I am now much more aware of the pervasiveness of evil in the world, in my own country, with it’s bipartisan support of a genocide, of the Democratic Party and its members who have and continue to vote for genocide, because, well you know, there’s Trump. Why focus now on the Democrats? Because I had been a reliable Democrat most of my life, having never once voted for a Republican and experience this as a personal betrayal of the worst kind. Who was president during both Operation Cast Lead (2008-2009) and Operation Protective Edge (2014), when Palestinian civilians were targeted with 2000lb U.S. bombs and white phosphorus? Who was president in 2023 and 2024 when Israel launched a genocide with U.S. weapons and when its every evil act was excused by the U.S.? It is the responsibility of every registered Democrat to support those who oppose genocide in the primaries, to let the party know we won’t again vote for a genocide. To demand alternatives. Otherwise, Trump is just karma.
This is a great summary of how we got here and the complete and utter lack of any morality of those orchestrating the genocide!
Absolutely so important to NOT FORGET GAZA!
I have been a part of a group protesting at Colt firearms factory since last June and while we had stopped in November, we have renewed the protests at the beginning of Jan!
