Blood Nights

(It's really hard to ignore the videos of the injured kids... It really is heart wrenching) . And then the night turned red And screams were heard of kids painted in blood And a tiny hand waved From beneath a wrecked home Kids with names printed on their wrists Crying for mothers in refuge camps, Some bathed in blood on hospital beds That too gets bombed Now no water, no food, even the air is poison Though once upon a time, it was a house But got stolen in bright day light My hearts crys for you, o' Palestine ~30th Oct, 2023

The scale of the assault on Palestine is being considered as a war crime. Israel and the world need to build up Palestine and make it a viable economy that its residents want to preserve and which can compete with and complement Israel. I hope this can happen, but it will take a lot of intervention by people with influence to stop this awful feud.

I’m praying for a quick resolution. I hope Hamas returns all the hostages. I hope innocent children and families will not be used as shields and I hope Gaza will be restored. I hope aid reaches all who need it.

So many innocent people, on both sides, caught in the crossfire of these uncompromising men. I agree, it is heart wrenching to watch.

Not a good situation for anyone in that area who was just trying to peacefully live their lives - not hurting anyone else.

All the children, Jewish and Arab. Man's inhumanity to man continues. Relief is on the way - Matthew 6:10; Psalm 46:9

Indeed, kids burnt by white phosphorus bombs, bodies lying everywhere, things are terrible. May God help those humans!
