Our administrators finally issued a statement expressing sadness and concern over “the violence and loss of human life in Israel and Gaza”. You’d think there was an earthquake that caused the loss of life without any human agency.
Condemning, or at the very least mentioning, Hamas for the slaughter it committed in Israel shouldn’t be hard. But clearly it is.
I’m used to this kind of thing throughout the war in Ukraine. “We support peace and oppose war! We hope both sides find a way to resolve their differences!”
It still hurts, though. I’m used to it but it doesn’t stop being painful.
The admin at my workplace actually sent out a more specific and strongly worded email after someone pointed out how wishy-washy the first one sounded. I was surprised.
