War wounded
Separated by decades and details, they share that same exhausted, haunted look.
For the healthcare worker in El Salvador, years of grinding war were winding down into the defeat of the rebel force that had fought against the US-backed and -armed dictatorship.
For the doctor in Iraq, a massive invasion was days away, and his Baghdad hospital would be at its critical center.
Today, Palestine and Israel are adding their deposits to the bank of death and grief.
I dunno about having Palestine and Israel in the same sentence adding their deposits to the bank on death and grief…and it’s Hamas (and actors), not Palestinians. Encourage all to at a minimum call their reps to demand an immediate ceasefire and NO additional military aid to Israel. Heartbreaking.
Thinking today of doctors operating on patients on the floors of unlit hallways while heads of state bicker over humanitarian aid.
