Collective punishment
This headline from the Israel’s attack on Gaza really just says it all: Gaza Children Found With Mothers’ Corpses. I’m really not sure what more Israel can do in the way of war crimes before anybody on Capitol Hill says “Enough!”
“The statement said a team of four Palestine Red Crescent ambulances accompanied by Red Cross representatives made its way to Zeitoun Wednesday where it “found four small children next to their dead mothers in one of the houses. They were too weak to stand up on their own. One man was also found alive, too weak to stand up. In all, there were at least 12 corpses lying on mattresses.””
I just wish our Pols would be more honest and finish the typical apologia statements around Israel’s actions and say “I support Israel’s right to defend itself regardless of the means and of the cost in innocent human life.”
