I went to a talk by Israeli & Palestinian reps from PCFF earlier this year in Melbourne. It was heartbreaking, but also encouraging to see people trying to peacefully mend bridges and spreading awareness. Naive, maybe, but it's good to know that some good came out of the atrocities.

This attack by Hamas (and the Israeli response) would've undone decades of their effort. I can't begin to imagine how devastating the latest events would be. It's a sad day for humanity.
