Excellent piece, Lisa. I'm sure you've already seen it, but Common Dreams also has a great analysis

I appreciate your courage in writing this, Lisa. You have inspired me to also write about what is happening, as I also basically support the Palestinians in this struggle. As a peace activist, I abhor the use of violence, though. However, if we are going to end wars and violence, then we must strengthen all efforts at diplomatic resolution of conflicts as a world. We can't look the other way when people are being subjected to occupations, such as the Russians in the Donetsk since 2014 or the Palestinians for much longer.

Here is a link to the post I just made, as I was emboldened and inspired by your post to write my own thoughts on all of this. I will continue to write about this conflict, as I perceive my role as a visionary to seek a way out of war, as it never settles anything, but only creates more trauma and pain.
