      "If the US goverment is serious, it can take those proposals straight to the UN security council. It can vote with a unanimous vote 15 to nothing of the UN security council for the recognition of a Palestinian state that includes Gaza and the West Bank, that includes the demilitaralization, demobilisation of Hamas, it can win the support of Arab countries that have called for exactly that. It would win the support of the world community. So, if the US follow that logic, this war could end immediately. The chapter seven of the UN charter gives the UN security council the power to implement actions to preserve the Global Peace. This is what the US should do." - Prof. Jeffrey Sachs.

      To be fair , you need to interview an IDF Officer who has actual information , all this soldier is talking about is what he experienced it does not go to show of the mentality or the specifics , i served in the Military (Not the IDF) and i was not aware of the actual targets we attacked using drones and artillery , i was only aware of specific targets we engaged
      So his claim about bombing buildings in order for ground troops to feel safe is at best unsubstantiated, as proof , even today , the Israelis can simply destroy ANY building that is still standing but they don't . this at least from an outside perspective give you an understanding that they are targeting something specifc

    What he said about dehumanization is unfortunately a tactic used across the world. In Pakistan, I grew up hearing about the oppression of Kashmiri people by India. I felt so helpless and angry at the world for being silent spectators. As I grew up, I started became aware of similar horrific acts of violence my own army was committing in balochistan. I have to say, it’s very hard to see it all when you live inside a bubble and only listen to mainstream media. When the bubble finally breaks, it’s both heartbreaking and eye opening.

Khalil abu Yahia was killed, alongside his wife and two daughters, in an airstrike whilst sheltering from the bombing in October. He was only 28 years old. They never met each other (only via Zoom). The tragedy was that they had hoped to have a coffee together one day, and now they never will. They saw the humanity in each other and spoke of co-existence.
