I'm appalled by how many otherwise decent people see nothing wrong with this mediaeval slaughter of a trapped and penned civilian population- even as both the IDF and the Biden administration say that the actual casualties are likely far higher than the 10,000+ dead posted by the the Gaza Health Authority. "Fistfights break out in bread lines. Residents wait hours for a gallon of brackish water that makes them sick. Scabies, diarrhea and respiratory infections rip through overcrowded shelters. And some families have to choose who eats” - ⁦Gaza @AP⁩ To obsess about Pro-Ceasefire protesters using a phrase "from the River to the Sea" that also exists in the Likud Founding Charter, and which has been used for half a century as the justification for a programme of illegal Israeli settlements which are now making a just peace almost impossible, but at the same time to remain completely sanguine, and silent, about the actual hour by hour, block by block massacre of innocent children, surely represents a total loss of all moral bearings.

"Israelis marked a month since Hamas killed 1,400 people and kidnapped 240, starting a war in which 10,300 Palestinians are said to have died." Nothing at all biased about this description in today's London @thetimes: complete neutral like the rest of their coverage. That's the trouble with Palestinians, isn't it, they just die? No one has to kill them. You just advert your gaze, lose all your journalistic integrity, humanity and compassion... and what do you know? Suddenly over ten thousand Palestinians are dead for no reason at all.
