In May 2021 families, women, children and infants were killed in their homes by israel airstrikes on a small strip of land where nearby two million people are crowded.
The crisis was triggered in early May, when Palestinians began to protest in East Jerusalem over an anticipated decision of the Supreme Court of Israel on the eviction of six Palestinian families in the West Bank town of Sheikh Jarrah. In addition to this, Israel's police threw shock grenades inside the al-Aqsa mosque on the last Friday of Ramadam in East Jerusalem. Israeli forces broke into the mosque prayer hall!
After Israel had bombarded the besieged Gaza strip for the fourth time in 12 years, the U.S. approved a $ 735 Millions weapons sale to Israel. The approval was criticized by legislators in Congress, and several Democrats introduced resolutions to block the sale of precision-guided missiles.
The news reported no sense of alarm, as they didn't mention the possible crime against umanity and the Amnesty International's call for a halt to U.S. weapons sales to Israel.
According to the Statute of the International Criminal Court, a crime against humanity is committed "as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack" ... From 14th to 21st May Israel's military campaign killed at least 253 people, including 66 children. At least 12 people were killed by Palestinian armed groups.
...this is and has always been a mess.
ReplyDeleteTrue! ... it has been a mess since very long time.
DeleteIt's a mess, it's heartbreaking, and it's difficult to understand the decisions being made.
ReplyDelete... Actually, a negotiation will be not easy. I am afraid we will see a retaliation.
DeleteE' qualcosa che risulta difficile da accettare e tutta questa indifferenza è incomprensibile!

Giusta considerazione: non è facile capire i motivi di questa indifferenza di fronte ai continui crimini contro l'umanità perpetrati dalle autorità Israeliane.
DeleteI hate war!
ReplyDeleteIt's always the innocent people who suffer the most in wars, so sad :( those poor children!
ReplyDeleteTrue! In addition, many Gaza's residents had had their homes completely destroyed ... the closure of border crossings has starved Gaza of crucial building materials, fuel and other necessities. The good news is that China continues to maintain a consistent position in support of the Palestinian people.
DeleteSo heartbreaking. How can man see wisdom in a war?
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, Giorgio.
