Palestinians inside Israel cannot hold mourning ceremonies for their martyrs in Gaza for fear of a hostile environment. Some chose to hide their grief while others chose to declare it publicly.

The death toll in Gaza is nearly 30,000 (not counting the missing). It is the hell that Israeli President Isaac Herzog chose to leave his mark on - as he wrote a message on a shell before launching it last Christmas, as a gift from Santa Claus to the children of the Gaza Strip. All the harsh words like "massacre" and "ethnic cleansing" do not reflect the pain in the real images coming from there.
