Hamas is holding onto the bodies of hostages they murdered. How come no mention of them? No updated mention of the Hamas pogrom of October 7. Only Palestinian deaths matter, no one else's? Every single death in Gaza is on Hamas, who started a war, refuses to surrender in the face of certain defeat, uses human shields, steals aid from trucks, and torture hostages. Let's see a poem that includes that, not just one side's narrative and one side's tragedies. Anyone who really cares about the people of Gaza would be pleading for Hamas to accept Israel's offer to lay down their arms, surrender, release hostages, leave Gaza, and live out their lives unharmed.
