There we were, at the Erez Crossing, where Hamas blew through in the morning of October 7th, examining the damage they had left behind. It is symbolic place to be honest. because it was quite literally cutting off the hand that feeds you. 15,000 Palestinians from Gaza come through the terminal every morning, to seek medical assistance in Israel or work at a much-higher-than-gaza-salary gig. It is symbolic because it continues to prove the point that Hamas does not want a better life for Palestinians. They do not even care about the Palestinians. So why should we?
(The fact that there is still supplies going into Gaza from the other crossings when we have over 100 hostages in there is ridiculous by the way.)
We saw the burnt rooms they blew into, and the broken glass in the terminal. We saw the bullet holes as they tried to get into the sealed rooms on the base. We saw rotten oranges, probably there since the 7th, that no one is going to eat.
And we saw life. We saw the soldiers who are there now, using it as a base to go into Gaza from and come back to. We got to see the D9s and climb into tanks. And we saw their smiles and played music (which we checked if they wanted due to the horrible news of losing 21 soldiers in one event yesterday).
