Do you think there's a 13 year old girl in Gaza who is writing a diary that will be widely read by children across the world 40-50 years from now?

Do you really think it makes a difference?
Bombs exploding tend to hurt paper, fires tend to hurt paper, all the dust from shock waves tends to hurt paper, and bulldozers demolishing everything tend to hurt paper. If something survives that, then I still don't think so.
If you'll ask why, that's for the same reason as why nobody wrote such a comment about an Alawi or Christian girl from Tartus in the last few days\weeks, to my knowledge. The estimates are of like 30 000 dead already, it's likely more, many civilians are hiding on the Russian bases but you wouldn't expect Russia to protect people it vowed to protect.
Suffering in Gaza is real, but the reason you think about it is that it's convenient, those who suffer are Sunni, and those who kill them are of the general western alliance. It can't be resolved who has more rights between these people, the westerners have just a bit more than Sunnis, but Sunnis have enough to cause outrage. The rest - not a beep.
That's because Gaza is both real and an approved propaganda narrative. And if it weren't the latter, then who knows, maybe it weren't the former too and Israelis would have found somebody else to bomb.
Maybe, but it will probably be destroyed by carpet bombing before anyone sees it.

Israel should be dismantled. They are a genocidal state and deserve no statehood.

This message is literally saying, "dismantle your military, and we will ethnically cleanse you."

I would love to come across one of the voters that voted for the orange fascist because they thought Kamala would be worse for the Palestines somewhere in the wild. It would be incredible to see if they still feel strongly about it now.
Most just abstained, voters who actually switched sides don't exist imo. If you voted trump last election, you never would have voted kamala even if she actually tried to win.
That being said, I can't really blame people for drawing the line at genocide of all things. The dems thought they had an easy win so they decided to represent genocide instead of us, the voters. I still voted for them regardless but it felt altogether gross. It shouldn't feel that way, they are supposed to be the good ones.
I don't think we should condone the behavior by pivoting the blame to voters, who are just trying to be heard since clearly the democratic party has stopped listening.

Most of Palestinians are under the age of 18. Basically telling a bunch of kids he's going to kill them.
This is a fact I try to bring up often... It's a truly disturbing piece of information
Also, they're struggling to survive without enough supplies, they're being cut off from the Internet and power in part so they can't get their message to the world, and they couldn't kick out Hamas if they wanted to - they have no organization or individual power to actually do that
So it's worth considering...who is this message for?

"return the hostages and kick out Hamas, and new options will open for you--including relocation to other parts of the world for those who choose. The alternative is destruction and total devastation."
So the choice is either ethnic cleansing with some genocide or ethnic cleansing with total genocide. This is completely unacceptable, yet there are those who argue that we must accept it and merely choose "the lesser of two evils" with the reason being that it could be worse. However, this only emboldens the evil and they will continue driving to make things worse and worse anyway.
