From Iranian-Israeli activist + journalist Orly Noy:

“Violence devoid of any context leaves one possible response: revenge. And I don't want revenge on anyone. Because revenge is the opposite of security, it is the opposite of quiet, it is also the opposite of justice. It's just more violence.”

translated from hebrew: “It is still impossible to digest this darker-than-dark day, which is not yet over and probably will not end for many more days. The thought of the abductees spending the night in the Gaza Strip is crumpling me down with pain. Every thought of them leaves a layer of terror upon the skin. There is nowhere for the head to escape, in every corner lurks a different angle of this absolute, cruel horror that turns and freezes the heart.
Perhaps the only thing that can be done now is to insist on my humanism, to defend it against both internal and external forces. The horrific crimes committed today will not make them any less criminals even if I remind myself that everything they have done to us today, we have done to them for years. Indiscriminate shooting, including at children and the elderly; breaking in to their homes; burning their homes; Hostage-taking - combatants and civilians, adults and minors. Everything. Not remembering this would be giving up a piece of

Because violence devoid of any context leaves one possible response: revenge. And I don't want revenge on anyone. Because revenge is the opposite of security, it is the opposite of quiet, it is also the opposite of justice. It's just more violence.
Anyone who reads that insistence on context as justifying these horrific crimes has something frighteningly wrong with them. And I also insist on saying that there are crimes of abundance and there are crimes of hunger, and we brought Gaza not only to the brink of starvation, we brought it to a state of demise. We have committed and continue to commit terrible crimes against them. Always in the name of security. How much security did we get? Where will another campaign of revenge take us there?
Terrible crimes were committed today, crimes that the mind does not tolerate. It is precisely out of this dark grief that I insist on the one thing I have left to hold on to in the face of madness: my humanity. The absolute belief that this

@goldengateblond.bsky.social

my favorite Miss Manners column (from 2002) was on my fridge for years and it finally gave up the ghost. found it to print it out again, and it seemed selfish not to share.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: A couple of years ago, my wife and I attended the wedding of two people who had been friends of ours for years. One year ago, the woman left the man for another man. We heard all about it from the man but heard nothing from the woman as we live in separate towns.
We received a Christmas package from the woman who made no reference to her infidelity -- an act that affected all who were friends of the pair.
I felt the need to thank her for the gift and card, but I didn't feel as if I should ignore the issue of her leaving her husband. In the end, I wrote a thank-you note and told her what I thought of the situation -- not in excoriating terms but in bluntly honest ones. Was this boorish?
GENTLE READER: Yes. Had you wished to register your disapproval you could have written her a dry letter of thanks; had you wished to register extreme disapproval, you could have returned the present. Miss Manners is afraid that “Thanks, slut," is not a proper communication.
