Just another day in Gaza
NO-thing can justify the mass murder, annihilation, genocidal practice and sweeping government armageddon of Gaza - NOTHING.
And yet you will have probably been led to believe and accept anyone saying such thing is anti-jewish.
As a man that studied Bible history, Jewish Biblical history and religious history, when I hear such crass desperate statements like that they can only come from the mouth of those joined at the hip to the single mass androgenic voice rather than to a voice of reason.
For the record Jewish history is very clear onre venge or justice. It has to be weighed in their scales and be of an equivalent. Cleary what is being witnessed far beyond revenge or justice. If those wronged against go any further they are condemned by the law itself.
Here are some numbers to date take from https://www.aljazeera.com/news/longform/2023/10/9/israel-hamas-war-in-maps-and-charts-live-tracker
Gaza
Killed: At least 15,523
Including at least:
6,600 children
4,300 women
Injured: At least 41,316
At least 70 percent of them children and women
Missing: At least 6,800
The latest figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the West Bank is:
Occupied West Bank
Killed: At least 254
Injured: More than 3,365
In Israel, on November 10, officials revised the death toll from 1,405 to "around 1,200".
Israel
Killed: About 1,200
Injured: At least 5,600
For those that moan and groan - read some history.
For those that have been blinded and deafened by the media - read some history.
For those that believe this is the cure to prevent Israel being attacked in the future - read some history.
This feels and looks remarkably like an opportunity to remove all Gazians from the Gaza strip.
They re told to run from the north and head south. Those that could ran. Some were killed running. Some were killed once they arrived. Some were just - killed.
Now they are told to run from the South to - WHERE?
This is a barbaric, disgusting, unapologetic slaughter being actively carried out by the IDF, approved by most world leaders.
What have we become?
Demons playing Gods?
Or a new sub-species of war mongers that cannot live without a them and us scenario?
The drums are a beating.
The masters are a meeting.
The excitement of war. The thrill of blood. The new possibility of yet more land.
Bastard is war, war is bastard.
The never ending dead-end thought of religion.
I am right.
You and all of you - terrible people, lower caste of human ARE WRONG.
Just another day in Gaza
A father sits on a white tiled floor.
His daughter who is no more than six years of age lies across his legs.
She is as still as a rock
Her blood seeps into the white floor tiles
Her father screams and cries with no end or no beginning to each wail
Her father raises his broken dust covered arms
He knows what he already knows
The child, his child, his future, his inheritance is already dead
What a sickening waste
The father has resigned his life to a living death
A group of men with torn fingernails, and bloodied hands. All wearing open sandals. All covered from head to toe in fine white concrete dust that was once a home
They all dig frantically until one uncovers the top of a head. The hair is black it’s clearly a man
In unison, they all scream praise to god yet is god lsitening, watching, observing and talking account
In unison, they all dig, pull and remove the concrete until the man's face is exposed
There he is
A man alive in death
There is no torrent of warm blood
He is alive just alive
The men frantically dig faster
The man’s shoulders are free
The man’s first arm is free
More men dig as fast as they can
The second arm is free
They dig deeper
Around the man's waist, they uncover another head
The head is still wearing a scarf
They continue. Her arms are wrapped around the waist of the man. She has tears that are still wet but thick with dust
They hysterically dig to release them both
The man is pulled free first
The pregnant woman is pulled out next
She is dead
She is crushed
Her life has gone
The unborn, innocent child has also gone
What a waste of god-given life in a country filled with God
The man now free sits with a snapped shattered and bloody leg screaming for the life of a child he never met and the woman he loved
He has been sentenced to cry until his last day
It is just another day in Gaza
A street is a scene unimaginable from what a street should be
Devastation, destruction, carnage, death and total destruction. Most escaped the levelling of the street whilst hundreds lie beneath layers upon layers of concrete
The next street is the same
The next street after that is the same
The town is oblivion
Nothing remains
Nothing will remain the same
Tens of thousands now dead
Lives unlived
Lives cut short
Lives stolen
The utter insanity and madness of war
The barbarity of war for land and land for war
The cruelty of faith and the faithless
They are right
They are wrong
This is our land
No this is our land
A child with two fingers missing sits with no emotion across his young face
He is spoken to using words of comfort
All he can say is he wants to become a martyr
His beautiful mother is dead
His strong father is dead
His playful siblings are all dead
His fingers have gone yet so has his life
32 premature babies lie on blankets
Their guardians are given notice to remove them right now
Men with guns playing peacekeepers
Men hunting to kill other men
Get them out of this hospital right now or they will die
Not all babies will survive the removal
Some die there and then
Some die soon after
That’s ok they say
A few survive as they are wrapped together in a blanket washed in bomb dust
This is just another day in Gaza
Governments are not the people
IDF is not the people
Hamas is not the people
They live a life of fill and plenty
The people pay the price for their foolishness
Birth life and death is different here
You are born
You might grow up
You might become a teenager
You might get married
You might do lots of things
The probability is a life of struggle and an early death
Just another day in Gaza
Just another valueless life in Gaza
I doubt God will forgive any of them for their brutality masquerading as justice
Not this side
Not that side
Just another day in Gaza
