That’s all there is in Gaza: Children

Seventeen injured children and babies were recovered after a house was targeted in Jabalia. That’s all there is in Gaza. Children. These are the “terrorists” we must kill to make way for expensive beachfront properties and gas/oil exploration.

Have they killed 40,000 or 186,000 or 600,000 or 1M? It doesn’t matter. Piers Morgan’s “moral quandary” will continue long after the erasure of Palestine is complete. That was always the point.

Talking provides cover for this slaughter. Whether it’s a two state solution, a ceasefire, the return of the hostages, Blinken promoting UN food warehouses, David Cameron pondering the recognition of Palestine, the fake port at Gaza, trucks of aid that get burnt or destroyed, dying newborns left to rot in Gaza, the ICC warrants , or the ICJ warrants that will take decades to execute. All of this buys time. And distraction from genocide.

Meanwhile 2.3M people are dead, injured, starving, dying, missing, buried under rubble or traumatised beyond all doubt. They include the old as well as the young; doctors and journalists. All of this buys time to complete the genocide. To take over land … while the powerful and the billionaires keep their mouths firmly shut.

Nothing that sustains life must be allowed to exist in Gaza. They said from the start: make Gaza unliveable: that includes stopping water, electricity, food, banning solar panels, soap, anaesthetic, and bandages.

Ah, the bandages: gauze was invented by Gazans to heal the world’s wounds. How ironic that there is no gauze today in Gaza to heal their own.

Meanwhile, a corrupt war criminal wraps himself in the mantle of Prime Minister and wages endless war, administering the genocidal slaughter of women and children in order to stay in power.
