Don Trueten :antifa:<p><a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Opinion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Opinion</span></a>: Children Are Children, Whether in <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> or <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a>. They Never Deserve to Die</p><p>In the fascist reality now sweeping Israel, even such a statement is considered treasonous and an expression of Israel hatred. How dare you compare?</p><p>A photo by Associated Press’s Ohad <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Zwigenberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Zwigenberg</span></a> on the front page of <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Haaretz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Haaretz</span></a> was worth a thousand words. It showed an IDF soldier inside a <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/child" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>child</span></a>’s room in <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a>, his foot resting on a bed. The room’s pink walls, intended to create a calm atmosphere, could not conceal the <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>horror</span></a>: 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.</p><p>The Gazan room looked exactly like the destroyed children’s rooms I saw in <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Kibbutz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kibbutz</span></a> Be’eri on the morning after the <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/massacre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>massacre</span></a>. One cannot avoid thinking about the fate of their little <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/inhabitants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>inhabitants</span></a>, both here and there. If the children in Be’eri survived, they can at least hope for a better future. If the children in <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> survived, no hope awaits them.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Children</span></a> are children, one must reiterate, and one cannot but be equally horrified by what has happened to them, both here and there. In the <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/fascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fascist</span></a> reality now sweeping <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a>, even this statement is considered treasonous, subversive and an expression of Israel hatred. How dare you compare?</p><p>Midday Saturday, <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Hamas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hamas</span></a>’ deputy health minister, Yousuf Abu al-Arish, speaking from the Al-Shifa <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Hospital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hospital</span></a> in Gaza, announced that 39 premature <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/babies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>babies</span></a> are facing imminent death from <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/suffocation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>suffocation</span></a>, after <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/generators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>generators</span></a> shut down, cutting off <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/oxygen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oxygen</span></a> flow to their <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/incubators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>incubators</span></a>. 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 <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/burial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>burial</span></a>, since the hospital was under <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/siege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>siege</span></a>, surrounded on all sides by <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/tanks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tanks</span></a>. The <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/wounded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wounded</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/sick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sick</span></a>, as well as the <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/dead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dead</span></a>, could no longer be extricated from the inferno.</p><p>Shortly afterward, Prof. Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor who had volunteered at the hospital in all the previous wars but was now stuck in <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Cairo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cairo</span></a>, stated that <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Israeli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Israeli</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/snipers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>snipers</span></a> had spread out around the hospital and were shooting at it. One <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/nurse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nurse</span></a> on the premature baby ward was killed.</p><p>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 <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/physician" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>physician</span></a> from <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/DoctorsWithoutBorders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DoctorsWithoutBorders</span></a>, said she had no words left.</p><p>There were 4,506 dead children by Friday night. Forty thousand housing units have been totally destroyed. Half of Gaza lies in rubble. The <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Rantisi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rantisi</span></a> children’s hospital is under siege, with no one able to enter or leave. The <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/AlNasr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlNasr</span></a> Children’s Hospital also stopped functioning and all the sick and wounded children there were evacuated, to God knows where. The <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/AlBuraq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlBuraq</span></a> school was bombed on Friday night, and at least 50 people who had thought they had found refuge there were killed. The <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/IDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IDF</span></a> reported that a <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Hamas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hamas</span></a> company commander who had prevented Gazans from moving southwards was among the dead. Bingo.</p><p>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.</p><p>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 <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/parents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>parents</span></a>, have little interest in the intentions of their <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/killers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>killers</span></a>.</p><p>On both sides, they didn’t deserve to die. Their <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/killing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>killing</span></a> is equally shocking, and there is no reason in the world to be <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/apologetic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>apologetic</span></a> about taking this stance.</p><p>Source: Gideon Levy via <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Haaretz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Haaretz</span></a>: </p><p><a href="https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2023-11-12/ty-article/.premium/in-both-israel-and-in-gaza-they-didnt-deserve-to-die/0000018b-bfcf-d03e-a3ab-bfffe07d0000?lts=1699799160257" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">haaretz.com/opinion/2023-11-12</span><span class="invisible">/ty-article/.premium/in-both-israel-and-in-gaza-they-didnt-deserve-to-die/0000018b-bfcf-d03e-a3ab-bfffe07d0000?lts=1699799160257</span></a></p>
