Loud. Fast.
I don't want to turn it into a Hamas is responsible/Israel is responsible. I don't want to turn it into a debate.
It takes 3 to 5 days to die from dehydration. Probably less for babies. Being stuck with 2 million people also desperate for water is gonna turn ugly. Then there are the bombings, no food, the lack of medical supplies.
When a journalist asked if the electricity cuts would impact babies in incubators, he was shamed for supporting Hamas beheading babies.
When a journalist asked if the siege was a war crime, the impact on civilians and why did all politicians present the attack as Islamist attack against Jews without any context about the Palestinian cause, he was shamed for supporting Hamas and the atrocities that happened.
When a journalist asked if the siege was legal, that labour lady whose name escapes me kept on repeating a rehearsed message of "Israel has the right to defend himself".
They all seem to have gotten a memo that you deflect any question with shaming and bringing up the atrocities against Israeli children.
Atrocities happened in Israel. It sickens me and saddens me deeply. There is no excuse for it. But it can't be used to avoid talking about what is happening in Gaza. I feel we are being gaslighted into not asking questions.
I want to believe they are secretely working on a deal but I don't think they are. And time is not on Gaza's civilians side.
AIBU to think we should be making a lot of noise for our politicians to stop defending the Gaza siege and start speaking up about this? NOW. Not in 3/5/10 days?
It is haunting me at the moment. I can't focus at work, I can't sleep. What the fuck are we letting happen?
