Palestinian Americans' Heartbreaking Concern for Family in Gaza

Palestinian Americans living in the United States are grappling with a range of emotions as they watch the violence unfold between Hamas militants and Israel. Many feel a sense of guilt, loss, and grief as they worry about the safety of their loved ones trapped in the Palestinian territory. Views within the Palestinian American community vary, with some condemning the killing of civilians, others fearing retribution against Gaza, and some feeling joy at seeing holes torn in border fences that have long contained Palestinians. The conflict has reignited discussions about the Israeli occupation, the blockade on Gaza, and the need for an elected leadership that represents all Palestinians.
