Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

Nope. Been writing my senators and reps for years to do more than nicely ask for peace and hit them in the funding if you really care. Before this time, the last one I sent out was in 2021 around the sheikh jarrah attacks. My senator tells me he strongly condems what happens, but his budget vote disagrees.

tbh I assume if I wrote to my senator they'd just put me on a list (if I'm not on one already)
