As the Israel-Hamas war unfolds, Muslim Americans struggle for understanding | The Excerpt

It's now been nearly seven months since Hamas attacked Israel, killing nearly 1200 Israelis and taking over 200 hostage. Since then, the Israeli Defense Forces, or IDF, have executed a devastating bombing campaign and sent in ground forces to "eradicate" Hamas. The death toll in the Palestinian enclave is staggering, with more than 34,000 killed, according to the Gaza health ministry.The majority of those killed are women and children. The health ministry says the sheer scale of the tragedy unfolding in Gaza is unprecedented. The UN estimates that more than 70% of Gaza's 2.3 million residents have been displaced. Food and medical supplies aren't nearly enough to meet the needs. Meanwhile, in the U.S., Islamophobia and anti-Muslim incidents have surged. Nihad Awad, co-founder and national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil rights and advocacy nonprofit joins The Excerpt to share his thoughts. For a different perspective, please see last Sunday's episode which features Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League or ADL, a Jewish civil rights organization.

Remember when Israel committed a war crime openly and attacked humanitarian aid? Or when their representatives called what they were doing a genocide?

[@myrtlemoore7611]

YesAnd no everyone bears responsibility for this war everyone especially hamas but palestinians don't want to blame hamas for their atrocities that in itself is an Atrocity Spare me your banality you still have hostages Release the hostages but they won't but they'll see And let their people being killed because of it

Distractions abound but re-electing Pres. Joe Biden has to be #1 priority or the free world will fall to dictators, etc. Help fund Democracy's only hope today, Pres. Joe Biden. 💙✌️

Wrong.

There is no war in Palestine! There is no such thing as Israel! There is no such thing as people attacking Jewish kids in America! People protesting for Palestine has been attacked and black people protesting has been getting racially attacked! If you don’t know don’t speak on it
