Today's Monday Media Review is a rough one.
In it, we discuss a recent incident at an Israeli school, and a recent documentary about a settler youth cult in the West Bank.
It should be much easier to talk about how young people have been victimized by this war, but because propaganda has trained people to rationalize the deaths of "enemy" children, it's harder than ever to talk about how this war poisons everyone involved.
And yet, that's precisely what we need to do.

It's hard because a lot of these NGOs can no longer access the sites they need to - the same thing happened during Ethiopia's war in Tigray - but we can rest assured that some outfits will set up camp nearby, and help where they can.
Our support of international doctors is just about the only/best thing we can do right now. That, and having care with how we speak about the loss of life in general.
Thanks for sitting with this piece, HopeSeeker. 🫂 May the day ahead be gentler.
