I don't think I am doing very well at keeping going on. A friend came over the other day and neither of us could stop crying over Palestine and anger and frustration.
I'm not gonna "like" this, because I don't like what you are feeling right now. I see and feel very strongly about these same things, but it only makes me more determined than ever to stop them MF'ers. We need everyone who sees what's going on to be part of figuring out what is going work. Don't go letting them get you down (and out). That's working for them, not against them!
It wasn't meant as an insult, but as encouragement. Please forgive this old lady who is older than you. You are just a kid. (Just kidding.) We do need each other.
Me, it was the Vietnamese war, after seeing the picture of the little girl with napalm on her back running down the road screaming. It was enlarged to nearly lifesize and displayed on 5th Ave by war protestors.
I got kicked off a social media platform for showing that picture once to get people to stop advocating for more wars. That picture has haunted me my whole life as a kid when I first saw it. The dawning on me how people can be that cruel to start wars my innocence was destroyed ... And today it's been aviserated.
I am feeling as devastated. And hopeless.. And profoundly disgusted with my fellow man to the point of hoping we do go extinct.
Yes, I know what you mean. I have seen so many little kids in Gaza(photos) with bleeding wounds and one I remember is a little girl with what looks to be bruises/scars around her eyes. It’s gut wrenching to see this. All of this could end with just one phone call from Genocide Joe to Butcher Bibi to say no more money, weapons to Israhell, NO MORE!!😢☮️🇵🇸
Yes. It’s godawful what we have watched our government do. Not only bombing and torturing and burning but now starving— all in the name of FREEDOM, is just gutting. I get into despair too, wishing for the species to go extinct but then I look around at all the decent people, the ones demonstrating or sending money, the doctors and nurses working in Gaza, sometimes at the cost of their lives, the aide workers trying to get those trucks thru. The Houthis fighting back in their little rubber boats and rocking the economic world while they do it. Three of the “5 Eyes” finally finding a backbone and calling for ceasefire, and I’m amazed at how much good there is in the world. I used to think it was Pollyanna to look for the good but now I see it as my duty, in honor of the Gazans and all they’re suffering to take down the Great Satan and the mini-me Satan. And I send what I can to UNRWA. It ain’t much but it keeps me from letting my government steal my soul.
Plus, Ireland just gave $21 million to UNRWA so there ARE decent people in the West. Plus Clare Daly, Ireland’s EU minister is singeing the backsides of the neo liberal countries ignoring Gaza with a moral conscience I wish we could generate here.
Yes, the first I felt hopeless, sitting on school bleachers not going to class hearing student council members speak about what we could do to stop the war in middle school. The Iraq/Afghanistan war as an adult was brain-numbing that so few people could see through the lies. With the u.s. monster fighting to stay alive and relevant nothing that happens now will shock me.

Just feel so depressed and helpless.
Never have felt so helpless as now.

Joy. I think you need to consider that SOME people (like me) at age 74/5 with a history of depression SIMPLY cannot cope.
I have been living in 4 different countries for at least 10/23yrs and each one I have tried to do what is right.
I really object ...this is an insult.
At present here in France we are boycotting all Israeli food. Hundreds of dead Avocado's.

f course we do. All is OK
I am with you. I don't think I have ever felt this helpless since the Iraq war.
