Gaza Humanitarian Foundation begins work amid threats from Hamas

45. Desensitization to injustice and horrible deaths of innocents comes from a feeling of powerlessness.

It's akin to a trauma response of dissociation. It's a win for the abusers, aggressors and war criminals.

Western leaders have belatedly stumbled upon the truth of what ordinary people around the world have known for nearly 19 months. That they could not have known this of course is absurd. They all knew. But now the criminality and unjust suffering is so brazen - even Ehud Olmert, ex-Israeli PM wrote an opinion piece in Haaretz's saying "yes, Israel is committing war crimes" - that they finally decided they could no longer cover for it. Their lack of action to stop the genocide is another reason people have become dismayed and shocked to the point of trauma - the world that they thought they knew, where democracies stood up to war criminals and rogue nations, was a mirage. The world doesn't work that way. That at least is how I feel.

But you are probably right. Finger-wagging and words falling into the abyss of sameness. And yet... there must still be hope this will be ended and that NEVER again somehow becomes universal in some utopian future.

Absolutely agree with you about Israel's goals re expansion, land/resource theft and conquest of the East Bank. Interesting how you gamed it out and I agree because historical precedents bear it out, where pretexts and manipulation of events are the well-worn methods.

Western media doesn't know what to do with events that go so deeply against the grain of the narrative they've been carrying for 77 years... And their historical "knowledge" is shaped by that narrative, as is their credulity and lack of curiosity.

I've included Omert's opinion piece. It's actually a bit shocking, coming from an ex-Israeli PM.
