The reality is that Palestine, however much it might want to be, is not a country. It doesn't have an army. In reality, they're all civilians held captive by Israel in conditions that are a direct violation of the rules of war.

Oh, they called it a state. It's a state without any control over its borders, without an independent government, an independent judiciary, and with no control over who is in their country. This is all a part of an effort by some countries to force the US and Israel to bring some fairness and honesty to the Palestinians whose land they stole. Unfortunately, neither the US nor Israel are fair or honest and have no intention of changing their evil ways. I view it as a disgusting kabuki play.

The sinking peir that never really succeeded in the first place is almost too on the nose as a metaphor for the Biden Administration policy in Gaza.

There must be an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Pope Francis has said what is needed, now he must do what is needed by going to Gaza and standing for peace, justice and freedom.

Not that I bother with them much, but have any of the major news outlets even covered this disaster ? I haven't seen a thing about it.
