Gaza: Humiliation and Dying Children

"The story struck me beyond its value in attempting to analyze mainstream reporting, or the callousness required of a military spokesperson to defend the decapitation of a 6-year-old as necessary retaliation. What is equally disturbing is the fact that Palestinian factions fail to see in Hadeel’s untimely death a compelling reason for unity, and carry on with their political sparring as if they have the luxury of endless time, while helpless Palestinians are victimized daily; victimization that is followed by no serious repercussions, save the firing of useless rockets that are used to fuel yet more Israeli ‘retaliation’, thus justifying the slow genocide and the starvation of the imprisoned Palestinians of Gaza."
