I have an increasingly limited bandwidth for death and destruction. The gruesome surprise attack on Israeli civilians Saturday morning shut me down completely. Same on Day 592.
Ukraine’s flag was flying at half-mast on Monday morning, a symbol of mourning for the dozens of civilians killed in Hroza, Kharkiv region last week. Or maybe for the civilians killed in central Kharkiv, or those killed in Russian airstrikes in Beryslav, Kherson region. Or maybe for the two Ukrainian women killed in Israel.
On Sunday, Z condemned attacks by Hamas against civilians in southern Israel and chatted up Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
We know a lot about Hamas. A decade ago, we documented Operation Pillar of Defense for JN1 from Kyiv. Most of the videos are still accessible on YouTube.
The JN1 (Jewish News One) project was funded by billionaire Ihor Kolomoisky, presently in a pre-trial confinement facility. The venture was managed by Vadym Rabinovich, who is wanted in Ukraine on charges of treason.
I think many of us from all around the world have shut down. To think that we bear witness to such brutality 😞
