This quote was a gut punch for me, "“Most people have no imagination,” Toller writes. “If they could imagine the sufferings of others, they would not make them suffer so."
It's true that I can't imagine the catastrophic suffering of over 20,000 people killed by bombs. But I can visualize individual children, women and men dying with crush injuries, being impaled, the life draining out of them with their blood, and smell burned, blackened leathery flesh from burns. I was a nurse in a burn unit, trauma unit, critical care and emergency rooms.
I was traumatized as I tried to save lives and make death easier. Knowing what is happening to people in Gaza brings it back to me although I am retired. I also survived being a trauma victim in a car crash. We share the same humanity and the ability to suffer. We can't be silent while the massacre continues every day. Biden just bypassed Congress again to approve billions of dollars of weapon sales to Israel. We can't let Trump become president again. What do we do?
