@Remittancegirl Gaza was already a ghetto for almost 20 years. It was poor, run down, and separated from the rest of the world due to a blockade that has been going on since 2005.
What we are witnessing is the liquidation of that ghetto, and the associated depravity of the people doing the liquidation.
Closing hospitals to fund concentration camps.
That’s it. That’s what it boils down to.
Fredy Perlman in "Anti-Semitism and the Beirut Pogrom" (August 1982):
"It's as if the experience of being a victim gave exemption from human solidarity, as if it gave special powers, as if it gave a license to kill."
England, yesterday:
Reverend Sue Parfitt was taking part in a protest by sitting SILENTLY near a statue of Mahatma Gandhi and holding A CARDBOARD SIGN with the words ‘I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.’
The peaceful protest resulted in an arrest by police and charges punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
The next time a politician claims we can’t house the homeless, feed the starving or give medical care to the poor…. remember that they were able to build a concentration camp in 8 days.
We could provide for everyone if we wanted to, but instead we’re spending the money on fascist facilities and cutting taxes for the wealthy.
