We begin today with an interactive map that has been around for a while, though the data is constantly updates as more information becomes available. It’s a map showing the location of each and every person who was killed or kidnapped. You just zoom in, click on a dot and you get the information. Plus hyperlinks provided to show where the people who put the map together gleaned their information.

Just looking at the dots from “30,000 feet” makes clear why the area is called the Gaza Envelope. When you zoom in, and read about the lives lost and stolen, you can understand, once again, why there is almost no “stop the war” movement in this country and why, relatively speaking, Israelis are focused on the pain on this side of the border, not on the other.

Again, here’s the link to the map called Mapping the Massacres.


Israelis are facing an unfolding crisis, but also an important opportunity to rebuild. If you would like to share our conversation about what they are feeling and what is happening that the English press can’t cover, please subscribe today.
