24. I do feel outrage.

But at 70 years of age, I don't have the energy to sustain it or act on it in any useful way.

So I settle into heartbreak, for all the innocent men and women and children in Gaza who have been killed, for the medical workers who have been shot down, for the babies who are dying of starvation, and on and on.

There is no way to justify this carnage. I'd like to say it will be a haunting chapter of history like the Holocaust is, but I fear it won't ever be in the past, that it will never be resolved.
