| | | | | | Although, as journalists, words are our essential tools to report, explain, clarify and analyze, the events of the last 11 days in Israel and Gaza have sometimes challenged the limits of language.
From the initial reports of rocket fire and a terrorist incursion into southern Israeli communities on Saturday 7th October, to what quickly became a torrent of breaking news, wrenching eye-witness testimonies of Hamas death squads and hostage-taking, unending missile and infiltration alerts and military confrontations from Israel’s south then spreading to Hezbollah on its northern border.
From the total absence of Israeli political leadership, Netanyahu’s refusal to publicly take responsibility, to the formation of an emergency government. From Israel’s evacuation orders to over a million Gazans, spiking West Bank settler violence and preparations for a possible ground incursion. From the international community’s responses to Hamas, from denunciation to appeasement, its rising concern about a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, to President Biden’s imminent visit to Israel.
