I know I'm never active on here but this needs to be said:
as a jewish woman, I am horrified by the Israel-Palestine war. I also know that this issue is so much more complicated than we all think. Hamas's attack on Israel and the Jewish people is terrifying and heartbreaking. By that same token, Israel's retaliation is equally devastating.
My stance: I am anti-Hamas. I pray for the safety of both innocent Israelis and Palestinians alike, as I feel that no more lives need to be lost in this brutal battle. As someone with many friends in the Israeli Defense Forces(IDF), I pray for their safety and the thousands of others with their lives on the line.
I urge you all to do your research and soul-searching before deciding who you support if anyone. But I will not tolerate pro-Hamas, or any anti-Israel or anti-Palestine comments on anything, be it on my stories or as a response to this post. I want a safe community here, even if it's small.
If you or someone you love is stuck in either Israel or Palestine, I hope they can stay safe during this time <3
