This moving article outlines just some of the atrocities carried out by the State of Israel in Gaza and notes that the actions in Lebanon in 1982 elicited similar harrowing images and similar demands by those who sought justice and peace, indeed Ms Kawaz notes that “the slogans were almost identical – No More US Weapons, Stop Israeli Genocide!”
The bewilderment and, perhaps also near despair, of hearing the condemnation and concerns expressed by many western governments that lead to no practical action against Israel even when “we thought that the public postings on social media by Zionist soldiers reveling in their lewd and brutal acts in Gaza would be enough to sway anyone with a conscience”.
