I must start by saying I am struggling to sleep at night because my mind just won’t stop.
And I that if I had magic I would end the war free the hostages and have two separate but equal states in the Middle East. But I don’t. And really what I think doesn’t really matter to anyone but myself. What is below will upset some if not a lot of people because it asks you to look beyond the headlines and look for some facts to see why what’s being said is being said they way it is.
Right before trying to go to bed last night I scrolled my new app to see a headline
Reports mount of More Mass Graves at Gaza Hospitals.

I had read the previous articles in the previously reported unearthed mass graves at hospitals. And the articles seemed to want to jump to the conclusion that these had to be signs of war crimes of the IDF dumping casualties of their attacks on the hospital sites they were found. But reading it two of the graves were right outside of the morgue. Which when I took a second to think about it with the reported death toll in the middle war there might likely be issues of burying so many people in so sort of a time. Callus sounding I know. But. Now with Hamas announcing the finding of more graves I did some online research.
And I found these articles most of which date back to late October 2023. I must want you they are beyond heart breaking. And have very disturbing photos. But what you may want to go and read is that they tell of the Gaza in general being overwhelmed in burying the dead but that they specify that hospitals as early as these articles where burying the dead in mass graves on the same sites that we are now being fed headlines claiming they are just being shockingly found. And this is just one instance during this whole nightmare that the civilian people of Gaza are being used to try and get people to thoughtlessly jump to the conclusion that Israel is doing shameful war crimes. Can I say that amongst the bodies there isn’t evidence that Israeli soldiers hid evidence of torture? No. But based on their reply to the first report of the mass graves saying that they had fond them when they went into the hospitals and went through them looking for dead jewish hostages and then reburying the bodies combined with the below news article the seem to be telling the truth more then the Hamas news releases of just found mass graves.
All I ask is that people take the time to think things through. Look deeper. And that you can’t have one sided peace.

Other issues to maybe take the time to look into is why the neighboring Arab countries won’t take in refugees. When I did last night when I couldn’t sleep I learned a lot of background I did not know. You may want to start with Jordan and the term or group Black September. I had never heard of them. But it may make you think there may be more than one reason Jordan doesn’t want refugees and that being because Israel may never let the Palestinians back into the Gaza.
More things to think about especially for college student American protesters especially anti zionist : DEI in schools and businesses, affirmative action, who loses out, how many muslim nations are there in the world, both legally and just by population, christian. Eminent domain? I suspect they will not take the time to think. Because they seem to only support one group facing what they re calling a genocide and dire welfare do to war. But totally ignore another one going on at the very same time. Arguably the US is also ignoring it. But isn’t that shameful as well. https://apple.news/AuWG4h5vhRIiEH1VNcYHdAw
I fear and know many will disagree or say I am heartless. Or don’t care enough. But I do care but I also think you can’t have a true chance of this ending and staying stable without acknowledging the bad on both sides. And I could write a lot more on the thoughts swirling in my mind. But they just won’t help anyone and could be totally wrong. But the one thing I hope you take away is take the time to look deeper and don’t let a group or person use you by lying to you that is a sign that they are only out for themselves and their very specific agenda. Also beware the double standards.
