THE long-suffering citizens of Palestine, particularly in the Gaza Strip, are being subjected to yet another round of murder, brutalisation and wanton destruction by Israel. Overwhelmingly, the victims of Israel's disproportionate, indiscriminate and despicably violent retaliation have been – and continue to be – the most vulnerable sections of Gazan society, including children.
By launching its latest onslaught against Gaza during the holy month of Ramadan which continued even during the Eid celebrations, the Zionist regime has sunk to a new low. Israel's justification and subsequent narrative that it is merely "defending itself" is laughable and ridiculous, but the consequences of their heavy-handed military retaliation against Palestinians is anything but.
