Beautifully written informative essay reminding everyone that Hamas wrested humans--men, women, and children--from their homes and continue to keep most captive. The excruciating anguish of families waiting to hear if their loved ones are alive is palpable. Their courage to remain hopeful and to comfort each other is inspiring.

These voices need to be heard. People who think genocide need to remember what Hamas started, the people they raped, tortured, and killed in addition to those who remain hostages. While I don’t support what Netanyahu is doing, it’s unfair to lump all Israelis together because of his actions.

Thank you, Chellie, for this stunning piece.
