A few of my favorite quotes from my latest piece in Public Square Amplified "Does anyone win when children are bombed?"

"They likely bemoaned how long it was until their next chance to eat as they were always hungry, a common affliction in tweens and early teens stuck in a seemingly constant growth spurt. Maybe they whispered about crushes, taking a few years off their parent's lives, or at least sprouting a few new grey hairs, even if they were out of earshot."

"The explosion ripped through the girls and their surroundings so quickly that, counterintuitively, they never heard the bomb that struck them. It may be of little solace that they were killed quickly, definitively, the brutality of the act limiting their suffering: Overwhelming violence bringing finality to their lives in an instant."

"In September 2024, American-made bombs dropped from American-built planes killed hundreds of teenage girls in Gaza. Who was killed by which bomb? How many lives were needlessly cut short?

We will likely never understand the full extent of the brutal violence paid for and facilitated by the American taxpayer like me. Each bomb dropped on Palestine is no less American and no less racist than the Klu Klux Klan bomb left by the stairs of a church in Birmingham, Alabama, 61 years earlier. Human rights organizations, governments, and international courts have described those killings using the only words that fit: genocide and other crimes against humanity."

"But it’s important to remember that while the Klu Klux Klan killed thousands of Black men, women, and children, every single one of those murders was committed by individuals. An individual made every decision to murder in a decades-long campaign of violence; they were individually responsible, individually to blame. There is, unfortunately, no shortage of Palestinian girls killed by individuals hiding behind their military uniforms, just as the KKK members hid behind their white hoods."

"Flash forward to today, in Gaza, an individual decided to target someone for death. An individual decided the nearby family, neighbors, or even hostages weren’t important enough to be spared from death. An individual approved the list of targets. An individual decided to pull the trigger. There are many people individually responsible for those girls’ deaths.

We are among them."
