Two pieces from the Beeb about the current situation in Gaza. I expect the pro-Israelis on this board would prefer to avert their gaze. First, a short video report yesterday on the starvation in Gaza. The video ends with an infant girl clearly in continuous pain and distress and who may not be long for this world. https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/cwyn9291yv0o And all I want to say is this: all those who prate of the infinite value of human life from conception onwards whilst supporting this horror, are just talking so much guff. Apparently, the "infinite value of human life" is consistent with treating actual humans as so much disposable rubbish. The next link is to an article by Jeremy Bowen in which it is made quite clear that the breakdown of the recent ceasefire was a deliberate decision on the part of Netanyahu. He does not want either an end to the war or a release of the hostages. His aim is now clear - to push all the Arabs into a tiny area around the ruins of Rafah, and settle the whole of the rest of Gaza with Jewish settlers. This is open ethnic cleansing, using starvation as a weapon of war. A terrible crime is unfolding, one that will be remembered for as long as the Holocaust, with the active support of America and Europe. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx27dzv7znpo ![]() |
