Atrocities In Abundance

Trigger warning: disturbing content follows.

I just purchased a print of this original work "Repentance" by Inga Solveig. You can, too.

The atrocities committed by Israel seem to escalate with each passing day as if the ICJ ruling that they were likely guilty of genocide accelerated their efforts. I avoid war porn but in the week that U.S. Airman Aaron Bushnell sacrificed his own safety in an attempt to protect Palestinians from violence inflicted by our country, it's surreal how fast the horrors are piling up.

Video here if you can stand to watch it. This is not what 5 month old babies typically look like, and the mother is reportedly too malnourished to produce milk to feed her infant.)

The occasion for the massacre: starving people were receiving food aid. More than 100 were killed and hundreds more were injured.

"More than 100 killed as Israeli forces open fire in chaos at Gaza food lines, Palestinian health ministry says" by Abeer Salman & Jeremy Diamond, CNN, Feb 29, 2024 

Al Jazeera reported:

• At least 112 Palestinians waiting for food aid killed and 760 wounded after being shot at by Israeli forces in Gaza.

• “Life draining out of Gaza at terrifying speed,” says UN aid chief Martin Griffiths on aid seeker attack, as death toll in Gaza crosses 30,000-mark.

In some cases, food aid boxes have been dropped into the surf so that people have to swim out to get it. Israeli snipers shot them, too, according to witnesses. Haven't seen any photos of that.

The UN Security Council is set to meet later today about the killing of starving, dehydrated aid seekers. Another veto opportunity for the U.S.? 

And finally, how could we overlook the citizens of Israel out on the borders blocking aid trucks by erecting macabre facsimiles of carnivals with bouncy castles and cotton candy machines to delight the children.

Not the beautiful starving children of Gaza, dehydrated, orphaned, and mourned. Only the well-fed, housed, and hydrated Zionist children. 

Because apartheid is the enormous, vicious lie that some children are worth more than other children.

If you're able to, you might join me in donating to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. It was named as a beneficiary in Aaron Bushnell's last will and testament, a man who could not stay alive in the face of his complicity in all these atrocities.
