Kindle Notes & Highlights
What are the needs of the hurting and how can I help fill those gaps?

“Blessed are the peacemakers.” Not the peacekeepers, the peacemakers.
You cannot say that you are a person that is supportive of human rights, women’s rights, democracy, freedom of speech, LGBTQ+ rights, minorities, and stand with Hamas.
You don’t have to love the Israeli government. You don’t have to agree with every action of the Israeli government. The only thing is that Israel has the right to exist. That’s literally the line.

Absolutely Free Palestine. Free Palestine from Hamas. Absolutely free Palestine. Let me say one more thing, right? Gaza is not occupied by Israel. I’m going to say it again: Israel does not occupy Gaza.
Hamas is sacrificing Gaza and sacrificing Gazans.
