The last picture I ever took of my sweet girl Abby, just before we arrived at the vet.
The grief was overwhelming, but I stroked her head and held her paw until she was gone.
She died knowing she was loved.
I miss her every day.

All true, except this time Israel’s response won’t be calculated strikes. It will be an all-out assault. Civilians might not be targeted, but they won’t be spared.
Gaza needs to be cleared out.
The era of living with an openly hostile existential threat next door is over.
