Sincere condolences. The Viet Nam War took my brother in the same insane way! Even his CO said he should not be deployed.
That said, the Israeli/Palestinian war is a war of power between small men, not of the soldiers who are put on the fields to die. My heart is with you, your family and all that love your cousin, including myself. I will keep him in prayer!
Thank you for this. I have been trying for a long time to wrap my mind around the Israeli situation. This is the first piece that captures my passion. That is not a cheery thought but it gives me some relief, some hope, some despair: maybe that is the right mix for the progress that must come.
Rest in Peace Andrew, and may your memory be a blessing to you and yours. This war IS hell. If you want to know what heβll looks like, see a Palestinian mother in Southern Gaza with small children.
Propagandhi wrote those words way back in 1993, and they still ring so true. It's hard to find hope in a world when it's apparent that we're hell bent on repeating the same mistakes, ad infinitum, until we take our last miserable breaths and finally leave the world (or what's left of it) alone.
π heartbreaking. I so appreciate your sensitive honesty about this tragedy Jordan. It's honestly the first time I've wept over the death of an IDF soldier; I appreciate your humanizing portrait. You are right to be rage at the powers and principalities that misused a young life and. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I feel that Iβm at a loss in what to do to protect the Jewish people at this point. Itβs all very saddening, maddening, and heartbreaking π

So terribly sorry for the loss of your cousin, may his memory be for a blessing. π
Agreeing with your statements on the situation there.
"Take a look at your promised land.
Your deed is that gun in your hand.
Mt Zion's a minefield.
The West Bank.
The Gaza Strip.
Soon to be parking lots.
For American tourists.
And fascist cops, yeah."
