Another day, another outrage.
That is the inescapable great deal of Palestinians in the grim, dystopian wasteland that is Gaza.
It is unavoidable due to the fact that it does not matter the scale, nature or way of the outrages, Palestinians have actually been, and constantly will be, thought about non reusable human fodder by Israel’s army of unrepentant enablers and apologists.
They are, naturally, hard at work attempting, as they are conditioned to do, to discover a description, a reason, a reasoning to discharge Israel of duty for the criminal offenses versus humankind that it has actually devoted with impunity in Gaza and beyond.
In their myopic calculus, Israel is never ever to blame, never ever accountable, never ever the wrongdoer, never ever guilty. To confess that Israel is to blame, accountable, the wrongdoer or guilty, would indicate, in impact, confessing their regret too.
The typical pallet of lies, distortions, and obfuscations is being released, on hint, by the normal suspects in the normal capitals and newsrooms to reject or obscure the apparent.
Loss of sight is a required extension of their complicity. They decline to see what the rest people can see. Their evangelical loyalty to Israel exceeds the reality and decency. It constantly has. It constantly will.
This, by now, familiar pantomime is playing out in the stunning residue of a massacre of more than 100 desperate Palestinians who rose at help trucks bring the things of life rejected to them by a fanatical program intent on eliminating them rapidly or gradually.
This time, the horror happened on al-Rashid Street in the southwest borders of what stays of Gaza City, where countless homeless Palestinians had actually collected outdoors night air. Cold. Ill. Thirsty. Starving.
What took place because location and at that time was not an “event” or a “disorderly scene”. It was, rather, more deadly proof of the genocide that is being dedicated by a callous, inhabiting power versus a put behind bars, helpless individuals with intentional and deadly effectiveness.
We understand what took place because location at that time since Al Jazeera’s Ismail al-Ghoul existed. He was not in Tel Aviv or inhabited East Jerusalem. He was not in a tv studio in Washington, DC, New York, London or Paris, counting on an account from a preening Israeli representative. He existed.
This is what al-Ghoul reports he saw.
Lots of Palestinians heard that trucks bring valuable flour will show up. While they waited in nervous anticipation early Thursday early morning, Israeli soldiers started shooting. You can hear the crackle of shooting on video that caught the homicidal insanity.
“We went to get flour. The Israeli army chance at us. There are lots of martyrs on the ground and till this minute we are withdrawing them. There is no emergency treatment,” one witness informed Al Jazeera.
Another witness included that: “The Israelis simply opened random fire on us as if it were a trap.”
