Palestinian and Israeli Americans Grapple with Distant Homeland Strife

Palestinian-Americans living in the United States are anxiously waiting for news from their families in Gaza as the Israeli bombing continues. With limited communication and worsening humanitarian conditions, they express fear and devastation, constantly checking for updates on their loved ones' safety. They feel forgotten by US politicians who overwhelmingly support Israel, and harsh rhetoric from politicians adds to their sense of hopelessness. The ongoing conflict has left them feeling helpless and worried about the safety of their relatives in Gaza.
