☆ The War in Gaza Told Through One Man’s Pain - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-03-09 | by ( Nicholas Kristof | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
When President Biden weighs American policy toward Gaza, may he think of a gentle scholar named Mohammed Alshannat. Alshannat is a Palestinian in Gaza who at the start of the war was working remotely on his Ph.D. dissertation in linguistics for Rhodes University in South Africa. He is the opposite of Hamas, for in his writing he has criticized suicide bombings and rocket firings. I have been texting him during the war, but his main outside contact has been Lindsay Houghton, a fellow doctoral student at Rhodes. I have trimmed for length, but he wrote in English and these are his words:Oct. 11: The situation in Gaza is very grave.

☆ Israel, Gaza and What We Get Wrong - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-11-15 | by ( Nicholas Kristof | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +8 min
We’ve reached a searing milestone: In just five weeks of war, half of 1 percent of Gaza’s population has been killed. The second myth is that Palestinians can be put off indefinitely, strung along by Israel, the United States and other countries. I’m all for surgical strikes against Hamas and I would be delighted if Israel managed to end extremism in Gaza. It also means renouncing what Netanyahu called “mighty vengeance” that transforms entire neighborhoods of Gaza into rubble, with bodies buried underneath. If you weep only for Israeli children, or only for Palestinian children, you have a problem that goes beyond your tear ducts.
