This footage is horrific, but we must not look away
Israel again maimed and slaughtered hundreds of people on Friday, at its fake ‘aid’ stations and in the bombing of refugees in tents and civilians gathered in the streets. The Starmer regime continues to make noises about Israel’s actions being ‘intolerable’ while aiding Israel directly and indirectly in its genocide.
Here are some of the people whose lives Israel either ended or altered forever today. The footage is horrific but we must not look away.
A little boy aged maybe 4 had his arm severed completely by shrapnel in an Israeli bombardment targeting displaced people in Gaza City. (Video: Anas al-Sharif)
A tiny boy lies blackened and naked in the street, all modesty stripped from him as an Israel bomb killed him.
A rescue worker retrieves the remains of a young child blown into the upper part of a building by an Israeli bomb. (Video: family of murdered journalist Hossam Shbat)
Little Misk was murdered by an Israeli airstrike targeting her journalist father.
11 month old Zainab Abu Hulaib died on Friday from severe malnutrition – yet another victim of Israel’s starvation blockade.
Children were wounded in an airstrike in Jabalia, east of Gaza City. (Video: m.saed.gaza)
A young girl grieves her brother, murdered as he tried to find food – another victim of the daily slaughter of starving refugees at the fake ‘aid station’ death traps set up and controlled by Israel. (Video: @baralafi)
A father grieves over his son, another young boy murdered as he tried to get a bag of flour for his family. (Video: Mohemmed Abusalama)
These are just a few of the more than a hundred murdered and more wounded, in a single day in Gaza by the genocidal, racist, evil, colonising occupation. We must not allow the horrors inflicted by Zionism, with the aid of the Starmer regime and other western governments, to become background noise and we must not look away.

We should not look away
No. We who are against zionism and it’s murderous methodology have the right to look away, nauseated.
The zionists – israeli or not, jew or not – do not. Some need reminding that theres plenty of them will revel in those scenes, sick fucks that they are.
I had it my way, and they’d all be forced to view the fruits of their abhorrences, just as germans (nazi & non-nazi, military and civilian) were.
Except this time it’d be at the end of each day after being forced to carry out the restorative work in gaza, too.
Old and young, healthy or disabled. No exceptions.
The settlers having their homes billeted to gazans for the duration of the rebuild – and beyond – should gazans choose to occupy the illegal occupiers’ dwellings permanently.
And the zionist to live in tented cities, with the barest minimum sanitation.
But I’d be lenient enough to allow 12 hour shifts. One ten minute break every four hours. Everything removed and rebuilt by manual labour. No machinery.
Foreign zionists – especially those of the political and fundraising classes – to be subject to the same.
Only they’d be the designated ‘capos’.. Labour targets unmet would see capos beaten in front of and by the general scum: who, in turn, would be denied their food for the next day. Denied water for 24 hours if they refused to beat the capos.
And at the end of the rebuilding, those left would have to pay to be free of their servitude, or face arbitrary internment in work camps (kibbutzes) until their debts were finally paid off.
I’d make sure that those pitiful pictures of the suffering they’ve inflicted were burnt into their retinas; there every time they so much as blinked, nevermind shut their eyes to sleep.
On a different tack, Starmer has now appointed a former editor of the S*n to be a civil servant “The role is a new position called the permanent secretary for communications, created after the prime minister voiced concerns about government communications late last year.”
A Right Wing Lumpen Attack Dog!
Look forward to skewering this Neo-Liberal Capitalist Apologist Political Creep. His brief – defend only 50% of shit in our rivers and sea by Labour!
We must not look away.
We must not become numbed to the horror that the evil Zionist entity inflicts on the Palestinian people.
This is not war.
This is cold-blooded and brutal mass-murder of an entire population.
The name of this is GENOCIDE.
J – True as most of the West turns a blind eye and Western Leaders dehumanise
themselves as they enable this with arms sales etc for a share of the PROFITS from the Illegal Israeli Occupation Force’s theft of Gaza’s land & gas plus oil resources.
They will be eternally damned by history and future generations will be repulsed by the mention of their names.
Words fail you.
Yours in Peace.
I’ve been away and missed some of your articles. So I was just going back through them to try and get up to date and noticed I’m not able to open/watch any of the videos. Is there some kind of censoring going on?
Thanks for all your work btw.
