(62,325 posts)in Gaza, hundreds of dead children. THAT IS REAL.
I know, it's nice to have the luxury of not actually living there. It makes it easier not to face that grotesque reality, and to make excuses for those who support it, to turn away and not face the reality.
But most of us don't need to be there to understand the reality of a child blown to bits, just one would be one too many.
I don't know if you have ever experienced the tragic loss of a child, but as someone who has, in my family, I will say that the parents and loved ones never, ever fully recover. I can't imagine the stunning, awful reality of seeing your entire family of little ones lying in pieces on the ground.
THAT is reality, bodies are reality, and the saddest reality of all as Americans is to know that our Government, even those we elected hoping to end our disastrous, murderous foreign policies under Bush, have blindly supported those responsible for all those tragic deaths. And some of us realists cannot support something so horrific or those who aid and abet the horrors.
Now show me the 'nuance' you are talking about regarding the reality of dead children.
