My social-media feeds were brimming with bad news from Israel, but a Monday tweet from Jerusalem’s deputy mayor tore at me with more force than others. It told of a nurse from the Philippines—identified only as “Angeline,” her smile in a photo alongside living up to her sweet name—who was murdered by Hamas at a kibbutz three miles from Gaza. She’d been caring for an old Israeli woman, who was also murdered. The tweet said Angeline stayed by the side of her patient “despite having a chance to flee.”
