Yesterday, Israel pulled out of al-Shifa hospital and we got to say the carnage and destruction they laid. 16 ICU patients were taken off life preserving equipment to die. There are dozens if not hundreds of bodies, some showing signs of being executed. Israel then followed this up by bombing an embassy - apparently something that has never happened in the history of modern warfare. And then they capped it off by air striking a World Central Kitchen vehicle, killing 7 foreign aid workers and 1 Gazan. It's a pretty breathtaking display of contempt for international law. But once you realize that Israel is a rogue state - none of it is actually surprising.
Israel bombed an embassy! The military forces of nations have never done this before - it is a clear and blatant violation of the laws of war! It's diplomatic staff that were killed! The same class of people that these assholes who plan this shit belong to! Surely they must at least have empathy for people doing the same jobs as them! Lol, no. Israel is a supremacist nation - unless those diplomatic personnel were Israeli, they don't count. Also, rogue states do not behave the way that regular nations do. They behave like terrorists - and terrorists attack embassies. So, not at all surprising.
Israel killed 7 aid workers! Lol. Come on. Israel mows down aid workers on the reg. They have been using aid deliveries to northern Gaza to stage attacks on Gazans trying to get that food for distribution among the population. The number of UNRWA workers killed so far - well we don't really know since the state of most infrastructure in Gaza is irreparably broken - but it's at least 168. Eight in one blow is higher than the average, but there are so many of these fatal assaults on aid workers that it's not actually surprising. People are just mad about it because this time, they cannot ignore it by relying on the never-stated assumption that Palestinian lives just don't count. It's a big deal because foreign nationals were killed. Which is gross.
Even the al-Shifa hospital atrocities are not new. The IDF withdrew from some Gaza City neighbourhoods before, leaving behind scenes of atrocities. In one case, they found 30 body bags where the corpses were blindfolded, legs and hands tied. So again, not new. And totally consistent behaviour from a rogue terror state.
And all of this too - the "discovery" that Israel is engaging in war crimes, just doing unimaginably horrific shit - also not new. How many times can one be surprised by a nation's lawlessness when they engage in lawlessness nearly constantly? How many times can the world ask the IDF to conduct "investigations" into the slaughter of aid workers when we know the IDF lies all the time?
It's an infinite number. Truth and reality don't matter anymore. As with the October 7th mass rape allegations - evidence is irrelevant. This is also a part of genocide - the crime is not merely the destruction of the victims - which is of course more than bad enough. But also, it is the destruction of the humanity of the perpetrators. People are forced into denying reality because the reality is genocide - and it is something they supported. And so, genocide denial and refusal to acknowledge reality abound. The alternative is acknowledging that you have been supporting genocide. And also of course, the denialism is support of genocide. A vicious circle that is your soul swirling down the drain.
Yesterday was a day filled with evidence of Israeli war crimes - but it really was not much unlike many of the days which have preceded it. And when the fucking sociopathic genocidal monsters in the Biden Administration have had months of practice denying reality, so what's one more day of standing at the podium and yelling "BUT HAMAS!" It's not like their humanity has interfered with their genocide support before, so why should it this time? It didn't, it won't, there's nothing that Israel can do that would change this.
And there is no justice. It is basically guaranteed that none of these assholes - in Israel or in its enabler allies - none of them will suffer any consequences for their genocidal behaviour. The most I can hope for is that they never get another peaceful night of sleep ever again. But I doubt even this will come to pass. They probably have untroubled sleep, atop the bodies of tens of thousands of dead.
