Elizabeth, you have articulated everything I was sitting in front of a blank page trying to say, your first paragraph says it all, the inhumanity of it, the absurdity of it, the prosaic cruelty of it, and the fact that it is all for naught in the end, no purpose at all, it will not achieve the ends the bald Nazi orchestrating it all imagines, he will never turn the country back to white, it was never all white to begin with, so in the end it is cruelty for cruelty's sake, not that cruelty is ever purposeful, some would argue with me, but on this point, i am resolved, cruelty is NEVER purposeful, and so the streets are empty and lives unravel, and since no one knows the end game no one knows when or how it will end, and i go from my brain exploding to my brain being ice cold, frozen, because it cannot compute it cannot compute it cannot compute

i am glad your write. i am glad you bear witness. someone needs to say this is how it is.

Oh - well, the endgame is clear. Enough Palestinians tortured/killed to make them leave and live as refugees elsewhere, and move into their remaining land. And then move on to Lebanon, etc. Lebensraum. They say it all the time, it's not like it's a secret or mystery, or anything.
