I support war crime charges against Hamas leadership AND Netanyahu. I believe that the preponderance of evidence indicate that BOTH are complicit in BOTH the October 7 attack on Israeli citizens and the ongoing attack on Gaza citizens.

I don't believe for a hot second that 3000 Hamas soldiers crossed the most secure border in the world and went on a murder spree for hours without help from inside the Israeli government. Nor do I believe that Hamas has ever placed any value on Palestinian lives.

There's a reason why Egypt has refused to permit Palestinian refugees to cross the border. Egypt has already had some experience with Hamas. They're not willing to risk a Hamas garrison sneaking into Egypt disguised as refugees. Hamas hunts Muslims too, not just Jewish people. Egypt is (understandably) not willing to risk their own people to help the Gaza civilians because Hamas has made damn sure that the true civilians cannot be separated from the Hamas fighters.

Deliberately targeting civilians is a war crime. Deliberately sacrificing your own citizens to score points in an international power game is immoral. Deliberately sacrificing CHILDREN to score points in an international power game is abhorrent.

There aren't any "good guys with a gun" here. There's a few heroic aid workers. That's about it.

As such, I donate to the only aid organization which serves everyone and absolutely refuses political entanglement. Doctors Without Borders will care for injured or sick people of any nationality or ethnicity. They will also refuse to provide cover for any military operation, from any nation. Sometimes they die for it. True heroes.
