Thank you for this. I cannot bring myself to "like" such grim news but I'm grateful for it and have reposted to FB, or what that's worth.

Well done Jasper. I am very proud of you and your determination to speak out for those who have no voice. It’s hard telling the truth in these uncertain times sometimes even dangerous but it is absolutely necessary.

Ah- Fia Ibnee 😊🙏

Thank you so much for this hard hitting article. It is absolutely abominable what the Palestinians have to go though. The picture of his mother carrying his body was so hard to see

Thank you for your reporting. Today the Palestinians have little more on their side than courageous voices like yours. We must have faith that the Truth is what will bring an end to this gross injustice one day.

Thank you Jasper. Let this stand as a record of the occupier's cruelty and methods. The world should be ashamed that in this day and age occupation is even allowed. And then the Israeli! propaganda machine convinced ignorant ppl that 7/10 was due to Palestinian blood thirstiness, not a desperate backlash to almost 75years of suppression, subjugation and murder.

Thank you for continuing to write about and talk about this. I wrote last week about worrying that the ceasefire would mean that Western attention would turn away from the continued suffering and oppression of Palestinians and I think this is unfortunate evidence of exactly that

Jasper - I was very moved by your essay/reportage, and by your cool unexaggerated style. You state the facts, without any form of histrionics, and at the same time your words reveal the humanity and endurance of the villagers, who are encircled by ferocity and IDF self-justification every day. Your own safety is also paramount. Thank you.

This is utterly heartbreaking to read... It does seem the West Bank is next and I'm so fearful for all those beautiful children & families you've met. Keep up the reporting from these areas. Its so important their stories are recorded and shared. Thank you.

The utter lack of honour or compassion betrays something darkly fascinating: either the perpetrators are somehow lacking in humanity, or humanity itself is lacking in something, or at least, can be entirely overridden—a kind of collective possession.
