Tonight, I stood with my colleagues to remember the thousands of lives lost in Israel and Gaza.
Too many innocent lives have been lost. We need a permanent ceasefire to prevent more death and violence.

" Permanent Ceasefire" means "and end to the war". Wars end when one side wins and the other side capitulates.

Thank you for having the compassion to remember all lives that were lost due to the war. It’s a shame the rest of your colleagues who rushed to the two Israel vigils like their jobs depended on it couldn’t find some compassion to join you.

Hamas doesn't want a permanent ceasefire. They made that pretty clear when they broke the truce by launching murder rockets at Israel two hours ago.
Expecting another vigil demanding a

You may have forgotten to mention raped and beheaded, which of course was the cause of war which is what you are now suddenly alarmed about.

I don't think that's gonna happen unless you can convince Hamas to leave and never return

Get in contact with Hamas, demand they honor a cease-fire and return the hostages.
Did you know there was a cease-fire on Oct 6th? How did that work out?

I am so tired of the breathless wall-to-coverage of release of hostages. Zero coverage of the 8,000+ children, including infants, who have been slaughtered.
