There is no hope for #Israel. Because of their twisted racist ideologically driven education system the most extreme Israelis now are the younger generation.
In contrast to their progressive-leaning peers across the world, Israeli teens are akin to the Hitler Youth.

Yesterday I managed to speak with a dear friend who has been displaced many times with his family, by the IOF. On the last occasion they were forced to evacuate Khan Younis on foot, to Rafah. An IOF tank crushed his car in front of him. Now, they are in Rafah. Two days ago the IOF bombing campaign was 300m from their rented apartment. 100 plus civilians were murdered.
He told me "Vanessa, I realise we never appreciated what we had before. We took everything for granted, the water from the tap, a pan to cook with, food. We were not thankful enough."
He also told me the collective trauma is so great "people are dead people walking in the streets. They lost their minds. It's a jungle, everyone starving and terrified".
