As Israel Gobbles Up Syria, Don't Look Away From Gaza

 

No, this is not two Zionists holding guns over baby Jesus. But it is a depiction of a newborn Palestinian under threat of imperial violence the West Bank.

I'm not going to show you the badly burned 4 year old crying for his mother and father who are dead. Why? Because I cannot stand to look at him and then go on living.

Instead, here are some survivors clinging to a scrap of hope that they, too, may live.

We in the northern hemisphere are approaching the shortest day, and the winter solstice this year will be dark indeed. No amount of light or candles or goodwill among humans can erase scenes like this once you've seen them:


Is this a scene from medieval painter Hieronymus Bosch warning that humanity might descend to the lowest depths of hell? No, these are Palestinian men who were forced out of refugee camps in northern Gaza by Israeli soldiers marching them to...their death? There's really nowhere else for them to go. As intended. 

If you can stand it, you can see the longer video this is a screenshot from here: https://x.com/RamAbdu/status/1866087123629023507.



Christ in limbo, indeed.
