We are far beyond disgust now. It's a small consolation, but the world has finally awakened to the sheer inhumanity of Netanyahu's Israel—supported by many Israelis and their allies. Just imagine if Russia were doing this to Ukraine; we would likely be at war by now.
As Matthew Parris nobly put in his article
Every age looks back at previous ones, aghast at things that happened on the watch of our fathers or forefathers, complicit by their silence. How is this going to look? How are our successors going to feel when one day British children are taught at school that, in their own century, their own countrymen averted their eyes while Palestinians faced a rain of missiles and bombs, with many tens of thousands dying in the assaults?
That these wretched people were herded, desperate and confused, into one corner then another? That they were starved of food and medical aid while powerful elements in an Israeli coalition cabinet hinted, in thinly veiled comments about “relocation”, at ethnic cleansing and the president of our greatest ally made swaggering remarks about turning the whole of Gaza into some kind of beach-adjacent real estate?
But they did tell the world exactly what they set out to do.
On October 9, 2023, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced a comprehensive blockade of the Gaza Strip, stating:
“We are putting a complete siege on Gaza… No electricity, no food, no water, no gas – it’s all closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly
