“I will do the right thing for those children in Gaza.” - Rob Delaney on Gaza, Biden, and Deadpool

[@AnwarKarimi-tc1xg]

Rob is really the only celebrity i've ever heard say that the vietnam trauma was nothing compared to what the vietnamese went through. He's such a good man.

[@juliewake4585]

@@TitanMoon746 oh my goodness. I’m pretty sure Hammas wasn’t around in 1948 when the Palestinians were thrown out to make room for the Israelis, or in 1967 when the UN tried to set boundaries between Palestine and Israel, or during the many killings carried out by Israel on innocent Palestinian people. I really think you need to look this up and listen to what the UN Secretary general had to say after the murders in October.

[@soapyshoes]

It's so wild that Rob can see the Palestinian children as his own children because he's experienced the loss of a child, but Biden, who as also lost a child, can't. Keep on being you, Rob.

[@leilaabouzeenni3580]

There is also the actress from sex in the city, she's Jewish, and she has kids who are alive and well, and she also sympathises with Palestinians because she loves her children and doesn't want to lose them. It doesn't have to happen in your backyard to have sympathy!

Well said! This is such a human conversation, open conversation they have here.

[@d.w.stratton4078]

14:00 My daughter died at 2.5 months. She went into respiratory distress and then a coma and never came out of it. The pediatric intensive care unit told us, after 5 days of treating her, that there was no hope of her ever recovering or regaining consciousness and that we had to pull the plug and would we prefer to do that now or later that afternoon. No sugar coating at all, just dropped it like a nuclear bomb into the already raw wound of our child being in medical distress. I do not have Dissociative Identity Disorder, and I never have had an out of body before or after that, but I full on dissociated that day because of the mental pain and distress. I say this just to say that I so deeply empathize with what Rob Delaney went through with his child. It is the most gut-wrenching, sickening thing in the world to see your child be ill and helpless and know that there is absolutely nothing that you can do to make it better, and for them to then die and go cold in your arms as you weep and weep and die inside. I hope Rob is able to find peace and wholeness again. It is a LONG journey.

I appreciate Rob Delaney's direct use of language. No euphemisms, no blunting the edges. I try to do this for my friends when they are experiencing difficult events and I think this helps them to connect with the seriousness of their situations and allows them to access grief rather than stifling it. I also recognise the glaze over his eyes when talking about his son, it's something I experience when talking about trauma.
