How about our Palestinian friends? I wish they could have been included, since they often remain relatively invisible in discussions of the conflict.

I appreciate what you say in this piece and largely agree, but the daily horrors faced by Palestinians—which make Palestinians around the world very much “not okay” as well—need not have been erased in writing it. The erasure of Palestinian perspectives is quite terrifying at this exact moment given what the Israeli government just threatened (genocide, quite literally).

Thank you, Jay, for the first thing I have read that reflects what I am feeling. It helps to know that we are not alone with this pain.
