#Israel’s #War on #Gaza Is Also a War on #History

Just like the attempts to ban discussion of race and gender in U.S. classrooms, Israel aims to censor historical truths

November 18 and 19, Israeli airstrikes killed at least eighty-two Palestinians in Israel’s #genocidal war on Gaza has already killed more than 14,000 #Palestinians in Gaza, including more than 5,600 #children, with Gaza’s Health Ministry reporting that one Palestinian #child is killed every ten minutes

That dreams were impossible,

So she just believed.

Children are an inspiration to us tired, jaded adults to keep looking out, gazing forward, seeking onward, and not stop listening to what our hearts speak.

No Words to Describe the Suffering

In Arabic there is a word with no English language equivalent (although certainly an equivalent emotion): thakla. It is a reference to the specific pain or torment a #parent (usually a mother) has from #losing a #child.

There is a famous quote: “Mankind must put an end to #war, or war will put an end to #mankind”–John F. Kennedy.

species extinction—decades ago. But I think there is a deeper meaning in what an end to mankind is.

#Opinion: Children Are Children, Whether in #Israel or #Gaza. They Never Deserve to Die

In the fascist reality now sweeping Israel, even such a statement is considered treasonous and an expression of Israel hatred. How dare you compare?

A photo by Associated Press’s Ohad #Zwigenberg on the front page of #Haaretz was worth a thousand words. It showed an IDF soldier inside a #child’s room in #Gaza, his foot resting on a bed. The room’s pink walls, intended to create a calm atmosphere, could not conceal the #horror: the room was a mess, torn and tattered, with only a hairless doll strewn on the bed, reminding viewers that this was the room of a child, which will never serve as one again. Its inhabitants fled for their lives or were killed, or both.

The Gazan room looked exactly like the destroyed children’s rooms I saw in #Kibbutz Be’eri on the morning after the #massacre. One cannot avoid thinking about the fate of their little #inhabitants, both here and there. If the children in Be’eri survived, they can at least hope for a better future. If the children in #Gaza survived, no hope awaits them.

#Children are children, one must reiterate, and one cannot but be equally horrified by what has happened to them, both here and there. In the #fascist reality now sweeping #Israel, even this statement is considered treasonous, subversive and an expression of Israel hatred. How dare you compare?

Midday Saturday, #Hamas’ deputy health minister, Yousuf Abu al-Arish, speaking from the Al-Shifa #Hospital in Gaza, announced that 39 premature #babies are facing imminent death from #suffocation, after #generators shut down, cutting off #oxygen flow to their #incubators. Al-Arish cried out: “This is the moment we’ve been warning about.” Outside, there was already a pile of 100 bodies which had not been identified, covered in white shrouds. They could not be brought to #burial, since the hospital was under #siege, surrounded on all sides by #tanks. The #wounded and #sick, as well as the #dead, could no longer be extricated from the inferno.

Shortly afterward, Prof. Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor who had volunteered at the hospital in all the previous wars but was now stuck in #Cairo, stated that #Israeli #snipers had spread out around the hospital and were shooting at it. One #nurse on the premature baby ward was killed.

Photos from# lShifa Hospital before it was cut off showed dozens of bleeding wounded people lying on the floor, and a shrieking father rushing towards his dead infant, who was also strewn on the floor. Hell is there. Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, a #physician from #DoctorsWithoutBorders, said she had no words left.

There were 4,506 dead children by Friday night. Forty thousand housing units have been totally destroyed. Half of Gaza lies in rubble. The #Rantisi children’s hospital is under siege, with no one able to enter or leave. The #AlNasr Children’s Hospital also stopped functioning and all the sick and wounded children there were evacuated, to God knows where. The #AlBuraq school was bombed on Friday night, and at least 50 people who had thought they had found refuge there were killed. The #IDF reported that a #Hamas company commander who had prevented Gazans from moving southwards was among the dead. Bingo.

One cannot maintain equanimity in view of these scenes. Even after the visits to kibbutzim and towns in the south the day after the massacre, even after being exposed to all the horrors that took place there. Even after all the stories of the survivors and the dead, and even after watching the movie put out by the IDF spokesperson. One cannot escape being horrified by what is now happening in Gaza, even in the knowledge of what lies underneath those hospitals.

No less horrific is the recognition that one must now take sides: You are either shocked by the atrocities committed by Hamas, or by the atrocities committed by the IDF. Decide. Choose sides. Which dead children shock you more? Which bereaved parents trouble you more? Can you not see the difference between Hamas, which came here to massacre, and an army that came to save hostages and wipe out Hamas? I can indeed, but the butchered children, and their no-less butchered #parents, have little interest in the intentions of their #killers.

On both sides, they didn’t deserve to die. Their #killing is equally shocking, and there is no reason in the world to be #apologetic about taking this stance.

@ChemicalEyeGuy @PapyrusBrigade Wow, that's awful. Lots of our history isn't well known. When I was in school, the focus was more on the geo-political evolution of Canada.
I think desperation lead to a lot of parents selling or parting with their kids, but I think there were also parents who just didn't want them. The high value we place on children seems to be a more modern thing (plus we live in a society where it's easier to care for them -- at least in many parts of the world). A book about the history of the creation of the first orphanage in England really opened my eyes to this. Pre-Victorian era, large numbers of unwanted kids and babies were left abandoned on the side of the road, often ignored or with horrible fates. Finely, someone started the first home for foundlings. The book in the link is a history book, written for a kids audience -- but it's really informative and a fascinating read. Most libraries would have it.

I looked at my son's face and it had changed. I felt a lurch in my stomach. He isn't the same boy he was a day ago, the angles of his face are clearer, his eyes betray deeper thoughts.

This happens every so often, one wakes up and realizes the #child has evolved. It seems like flowers - one day they aren't there at all, the next in full bloom.

I stay for a few extra minutes listening to his story. I try to be present, available. I want him to know he is loved in more than words.
