'We Pulled The Children Out In Pieces': Israel Pummels Gaza City



Overnight bombing reduced a residential block in the north of the city to mounds of rubble. One man squeezed his head and hand beneath a concrete slab in a desperate search for survivors.

"There were about 50 people inside, including women and children. I don't know why they bombed it," said Abu Abd Zaqout, adding it had housed his uncle's family.

"Why kill children sleeping safely like that, turning them into body parts?" he added.

"We pulled the children out in pieces."

but that is expected now.

Won't be long before they manage to kill everyone there.

Now, people will come and yell that I'm an antisemite for suggesting that the "most moral army in the world" may not be that.

We heard screaming from under the rubble," he said.

"This repeated scene terrifies us and proves to us that there's no humanity left in this world."


Inhumanity is what Israel calls "great force". Like it calls targeted victims "human shields" or ethnic cleansing "voluntary emigration". Or a genocide "self-defence". This is how propaganda and gaslighting work.

Absolutely, eternally shameful.

"A United Nations commission investigating the war in Gaza said Tuesday that Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians, the panel’s most sweeping findings yet about the Israeli government’s conduct in the conflict.

In earlier reports, the commission found that Israel had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in its war with Hamas militants, but stopped short of declaring it genocide. On Tuesday, it said that Israel’s actions in Gaza constituted genocide under the 1948 Genocide Convention..."
