Haven’t we seen a whole lot of “horrifying” slaughters in Gaza?
What is the point of even saying it?
Scores of Palestinians, including many women and children, have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on a crowded block of flats in the Gaza town of Beit Lahiya as Israel pressed on with its intense weeks long assault on the north of the coastal strip.
Gaza’s civil defence agency said 93 people had been killed and 40 were still missing, with many of the victims members of the extended Abu Nasr family, as well as Palestinians displaced from elsewhere. The US state department spokesperson Matthew Miller called the strike “a horrifying incident with a horrifying result”.
Mohamed El-Azamy, 34, who has been displaced more than 15 times in the past year, was in a building close to the one targeted. “Last night was one of the worst nights I’ve been through during this war,” he told the Guardian. “There was bombing from all directions. We were awake and waiting for that shell or missile that would crush our lives until half past four in the morning, when our neighbours’ building was bombed.
“The scene was horrific. Most of the [victims I saw] were children. The corpses were mutilated. What hurt my heart the most was the sight of the children’s bodies that were collected and placed on the side of the road, their clothes were torn and grey because of the rubble.”
The latest incident involving large-scale civilian deaths came as the UN’s World Food Programme [WFP] called for immediate action to avert famine, warning that the situation in northern Gaza “continues to deteriorate, the likelihood of a larger group being impacted by famine will surely increase”.
Israel has killed tens of thousands of innocent people. It’s not really possible to go incident by incident and talk about how brutal they are.
People need to step back and look at the whole of the thing, which is a genocide. Israel is committing a genocide, and when you call them out on it, they start whining that they were genocided 80 years ago on a different continent, which is a complete lie.
Hitler did not genocide the Jews, but he should have.
