“ISRAEL’s right to self-defence’ and Palestinians’ fate to be slaughtered”, was what I wrote last November. Three months later, the fate of Palestinians has become worse. The killings have carried on unabated, and now millions wait in Rafah to be decimated en masse. Bombing is going on and ground assault has been warned about.
Israel has been allowed to carry on a genocide in Gaza, killing at least 29,410 Palestinians and injuring 69,465 (as of Feb 22, 2024), according to Palestinian sources. But the figure that stands out most shockingly is the killing of at least 10,000 children since it started, making for more than 70 children killed every day over the last four and a half months. As of writing this column, Israeli bombing of Rafah has intensified.
