On Saturday October 7th Hamas, a Palestinian extreme militant group invaded Israel by sending a bombardment of rockets and gunman into Israel’s territory. There was as many as 1000 infiltrators on Israeli territory that killed 1000 Israelis and wounding 2000. Israel has also been equally as deadly by killing at least 1100 Palestinians and wounding 5000 more. People including Americans were also kidnapped by Hamas in a effort to bring higher tensions with Israel. The death toll continues to rise as the war escalates.
As Israel orders Palestinians to flee northern Gaza; The Israel and Hamas War escalates and a ground invasion looms over. Palestinains who are leaving Gaza are met with airstrikes. And people in Gaza are experiencing a humanitarian crisis as a growing shortage of water and medical supplies as Israel blocks access.
As the war continues so does anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and hate against Palestinian people. In the United Kingdom there has been an uptick in over 300% in anti-Semitism in the first four days of the war. And in Illinois a 6 years old Muslim boy was killed to an apparent hate crime. These instances goes to show that what is happening in Israel is effecting everyone globally.
