#The survivors of the music festival were lying in the grass for six to seven hours

i know i've said a lot about getting rid of the american centrism here AND comparing overly simplistic situations but what imho the situation on the ground for the survivors of the terror attacks was probably closer to the kids in uvalde than a lot of the comparisons going around, particularly in regards to the fact that broader political issues are directly responsible for why there were heavily armed men with machine guns wandering through civilian areas AND the fact that while uvalde should have lead to a mass national reckoning with the inutility of the police, in a fair world what happened in the south of Israel should have been an immediate ceasefire and a national reckoning into the utter failure of the right wing government and militarization and arguably Zionism as a whole to protect Jews when it took over 13 hours for the residents of kibbutz be’eri to be fully rescued in a country smaller than New Jersey and there’s fucking WhatsApp messages from teenagers hiding in closets begging for help to arrive while armed gunmen walked through their home
