Israel versus HAMAS, I want my simple insignificant view known clearly: I am for peace and INNOCENCE, I feel for the innocent arab/muslim child as I feel for the Israeli child, NONE should be harmed

in this conflict, NONE, no innocent person, Israeli, arab/muslim must be harmed in any manner, death, rape, NONE! This MUST stop & maybe little people like me have no voice here, but I want mine heard

This conflict is painful and what we saw in an invasion by HAMAS terrorists on October 7th 2023 and they went on to commit unspeakable crimes, brutality on Israeli people, women, children…men…do not forget men…this continues as Israel responds and IMO I want a statesperson to step up to help resolve to mitigate the pain and suffering and find peace…some say impossible, I say we try.

I will stand alongside an arab/muslim child’s coffin as I stand alongside an Israeli child’s. IMO this is so outrageous that so many lives are lost and many innocent people. I do not think it is good enough to stand by, we have to talk and share and try to find the way to resolve this. Some say it will never given the history. There are people, terrorists, jihadists committing horrific crimes and they have done for decades now as I recall. How do we get the pain and suffering to end on both sides. How do we find peace? How do we stop the pain and death to innocent people, arabs, Israeli, Palestinian? How? There is so much pain and hurt and hatred that I am afraid no one is listening and it is just about retaliation and response. All the while innocent people are killed, lives destroyed, both sides.

We cannot pretend, this is thousands of years old, and steep with hatred, and both sides argue for their legitimacy, yet we have to agree that October 7th 2023 was devastating and too painful for the Israeli people and free law abiding people, it shocks the senses…it was wrong IMO…very wrong, depraved. I am saying that no matter how difficult, we have to keep conversations ongoing, we have to try to protect each other, peaceful civil law abiding people, no matter side, we have to not kill innocent people and say its a casualty of war…NO, innocent people both sides must have their lives and not be part of this, and children must not have to hide, innocent women both sides must not cower in fear…free people must be able to talk out their thoughts and not be attacked, we have to find the way to solve this…humanity now depends on this before it goes too far!

Again, I will stand in support of the innocent Israeli child dead in a coffin as I will stand in support of the innocent Palestinian child in a coffin, as I would do for innocent adults either side. I may have an opinion but it does not color over decency and humanity and love and kindness for my fellow man and woman, no matter ethnicity, color, creed, religion…no matter! Right first, law and justice, truth always first.

Even to write this substack to express my want of neutrality and to stand where I can try to listen and to be one little person trying to understand and share, I get attacked both sides…if we want to help, we get attacked. If I report some horror of Israeli death, I get verbally attacked by HAMAS arab supporters, if I write about horror of Palestinian deaths, I get attacked by Israeli supporters. I think the issue is people are so locked into their beliefs and views that they cease to listen. And attack each other who are voicing an opinion.

While that is sorted out, at the end of the day, all involved must do all necessary to not harm, kill innocent people in this, whether Israeli, arab, muslim, Palestinian etc.

We also have to be able to have an opinion yet not be attacked for it, but people LISTEN. My opinion can differ from you but you should not HATE and wish to harm someone for that. We can learn from each other inspite of how difficult this matter is.

Again, on both sides, innocence must be spared. Women, children.
