How many Palestinian children must be blown apart before Americans rise in outrage? Israel now claims to control 40% of Gaza City, achieved through relentless bombing of residential neighborhoods and refugee camps. Forty-four Palestinians were killed in a single day — including seven children and a pregnant woman with her unborn child. For nearly two years, an entire classroom of children has been erased every single day. This is not “self-defense.” This is extermination.
The world should weep at the story of Omar Harb, a Palestinian scholar who starved to death after losing 26 members of his family to Israeli bombs. By the time he died, weighing less than 88 pounds, more than 370 Palestinians had already succumbed to hunger deliberately imposed by Israel’s blockade. Starvation as a weapon of war is a war crime — yet Washington sends more bombs instead of bread.
Adding insult to atrocity, the U.S. has sanctioned Palestinian human rights groups whose only “crime” is supporting an International Criminal Court investigation into Israeli genocide. This is complicity at its most shameful.
Where are U.S. taxpayers? Where are churches, synagogues, mosques — even the Vatican — as another Holocaust unfolds before our eyes? Their silence is betrayal. Palestinians have been driven off their land since 1948, and today they are being annihilated with U.S. weapons and U.S. dollars. History will remember — and condemn — our cowardice.
