A tragedy has been unfolding in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank since October 7. Over 1,400 Israelis and 6,500 Palestinians have been killed, according to their respective government representatives. About 200 Israeli civilians are being held hostage by Hamas militants. These numbers include some of the family and friends of staff at The 19th. 

Entire families have been wiped out in the violence, both in the initial attack against Israel and in the repeated airstrikes and ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. There has been a fog of misinformation and confusion as false reports and violent images have proliferated on social media. 

Escalating tension has also resulted in violence at home in the United States. According to the FBI, threats against Jews and Muslims have risen in the days since. On October 14, a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy named Wadea Al-Fayoume was stabbed to death in his Illinois home by his landlord. The landlord may have been motivated by extreme right-wing talk radio conspiracy theories.
