Solidarity in society is a powerful force, a bond that unites individuals through shared values, goals, and purposes.
It goes beyond mere agreement, evolving into a deeply rooted sense of collective responsibility and mutual support.
Solidarity fosters a culture of cooperation, empathy, and understanding, serving as the backbone of a resilient and cohesive society.

CW: We, the Palestinians have shed blood [CW: violence] ]
“Our national liberation will never be through Israeli blood”
My national liberation and the national liberation of my people do not include a jeep speeding through the streets of Gaza with a half-naked Jewish woman strapped to its front.
“We, the Palestinians, are not guilty of anything, and of course – not of this murder which took the lives of over 800 innocent Israeli civilians. From our point of view, the Occupation is the source of all evil and destruction: what did you expect would happen after decades of blockades, oppression, humiliation and loss of human dignity? What did you expect from the Palestinians who have lost everything and broken through the fence? That they will hug you?”
This is what is expected of me to write today, as a Palestinian journalist--strong armed by the massive power and influence of the national Palestinian rhetoric discourse that silences any criticism, logic, and basic morality, and that forces us as Palestinians into two main roles: murdered or murderers. After all, we are the ultimate victims and thus, we are allowed to do anything. No?
So, this Saturday, Hamas succeeded in turning us, the Palestinians, into murderers. We are no longer “murdered” or “helpless victims”. This time Hamas made it official, in a sophisticated, convincing, and pride-inspiring way (at least, according to some). We, as a Palestinian collective, haven’t even bothered to stammer or whitewash our actions, just like the Israeli occupation army: our role models. Yes, we have become murderers, through a premeditated, tactical, well-timed, and calculated operation led by Hamas, who has suddenly become the ultimate Palestinian representative, leading the national Palestinian liberation movement according to an agenda only it knows!
But we, the Palestinians, are the victims of the Israeli Occupation, not murderers – we are just reacting to the oppression exerted on us by the State of Israel and its army. That is why the murder of more than 800 innocent people is just another reaction, a catharsis, a release, and above all – legitimate, because we, just like Israel, have the right to defend ourselves, without limit and at any price! In war, as in war, we are not to ask moral or ethical questions because they will only hurt our national Palestinian goals. It’s unnecessary, isn’t it?
Of course, this is all moral and political bullshit. Not only because this specific operation was well planned on an operational-strategic level, and was meant to cause only massive carnage. But mostly because this time, with the help of the military and media wing of Hamas, this murder has a different and critical role to play. This murder has been politically leveraged and turned into a Palestinian all-Arab victory, through which, so to speak, we as Palestinians, and the Arab world, have recovered our pride, our honor and the national erection we lost in 1948 and in 1967.
Yes, we have turned the tables, changed the power equation between Palestinians and Israelis, seared defeat unto Israeli consciousness, and completely undermined Israeli national resilience. We are amazing! We are simply the best! But above all, we have shifted the Palestinian, and more generally the Arab defeated narrative into a victorious narrative through massive and deliberate mass murder – so to create a victorious consciousness.
Only this time, unlike many other past occasions, this sense of triumph has registered in the minds of many Palestinians and many Arabs in the Arab world, as a process that was created, and will be sustained, only through the slaughter, murder and bloodshed of Israelis.
My fingers are shaking, but there is no escape: my duty as human, even before my journalistic duty, demands I write this: Hamas does not only want a strategic achievements, to be leveraged into a political achievement aiming to end the siege on Gaza; Hamas wants to create a Palestinian narrative in which the Israeli blood will be the only measure of victory.

In Israel haben sich Hunderte arabische und jüdische Freiwillige zu Solidaritätsinitiativen zusammengeschlossen: "Emergency teams" suchen nach Opfern der Hamas, jüdisch-arabische Patrouillen setzen es sich zum Ziel, gewaltsame Konflikte innerhalb der Bevölkerung Israels zu deeskalieren.

[EDIT: A letter from Palestine:
https://kolektiva.social/@earthworm/111288399827180500 (sorry for pushing, but this perspective is relevant)]You have to watch this video by Tamar, a survivor of Kibutz Be'eri (english subtitles).
There is hope.
But it is necessary to direct the anger at the responibles, not to want to make disappear the whole population of the other group.#Israel

Really powerful.
"Part of what has made the experience of this event feel so different from the status quo—and so different to Palestinians and Jews—comes from the fact that Palestinians were undeniably the actors, for once, not the acted upon. The protagonists of the story. I consider it an enormous failure of our movements that we have not been able to build a vehicle for that kind of reversal in any other way thus far. Our Jewish movements for Palestine were not powerful enough to stop other Jews from gunning down Palestinians in peaceful marches at the Gazan border fence, or to keep Palestinians from being fired, harassed, and sued for speaking the truth about their experience or—God forbid—advocating the nonviolent tactic of boycott. And now, we do not have a shared struggle able to credibly respond to these massacres of Israelis and Palestinians."

CW: Position on Israel-Gaza violence
You don't have to agree 100% with Israeli politics to condemn Hamas terror.
