And the stories, you know, every day they were digging out babies from under the rubble. It was horrible to watch. And it was worse if you traveled in other parts of the world. They were even more graphic and explicit than they were in the United States.
This is what my kids were watching, my students were watching, and they were so disgusted with the Democrats for keep on feeding this Israeli war. I mean, I would say that most of my students were pretty horrified by the October 7th attack that Hamas made. And I know I felt very strongly too. Me too.

I mean, I know that they've been badly treated for a long time, the Palestinians, but what happened on October 7th is unacceptable, unforgivable. Fair. And I can understand why there was a strong reaction, but the Israeli response, we're talking like for 9-11, people being ready to do something. They had already been brutalizing the people in the West Bank

Gaza had been an open air prison for years already. And so the Israeli response is so disproportionate, it's so horrific. For those of us who have different history and experience with Israel to see what Israel has turned into now, without any, almost no protest against this brutalization of an entire people, whether you consider it genocide or just a slaughter, it sickens one.
