Palestine TV journalist Mohammad Abu Hattab was killed with his family in an Israeli airstrike. His colleague Salman Al-Bashir removes his protective gear marked PRESS on air saying: “We can’t take it anymore, we are exhausted. We are victims. The only difference between us is the time of death. We are killed one after another. And no one cares about the catastrophe or the crime that we endure in Gaza. No protection for anyone or anything. This gear and helmet do not protect any journalist, they are just empty slogans. We are victims, live on air. We are victims awaiting our turn to be killed. Mohammad was here half an hour ago (reporting). Now he lies dead with his family in this same hospital.”

When those trying to save lives are they themselves targeted…

I see the woman… and the kid holding her hand and raising a white flag. And even if he is not filmed, I see the killer finding an excuse to shoot her because she did not take the right turn. Summary executions take place everyday, they are just not often caught on camera.

Personal post: As you congratulate families in Israel being reunited do not forget to convey your condolences to yet another one hundred bereaved Palestinian family. Does it still mean anything when you hear 150 Palestinian killed, or has it become part of the daily routine. Scores of civilians and many children were killed today in the Israeli operation and they may not be mentioned or will be a footnote in today’s news at best. As you smile seeing a father finally embracing his daughter in Tel Aviv, shed a tear for the father having to bury his daughter in Gaza. There is a way for Palestinian and Israeli families to be reunited in life not in death. That is the success we should all be striving for. After 8 months of massacres, Israel will use today’s images to try and justify the killing of 36000 Palestinians and the destruction of the lives of 2,3 million Palestinians. Don’t let it.

Israel’s target is not only the past and the present of our people, but indeed the future. That is why it kills our doctors, engineers, poets, academics, artists. That is why it is destroying our cities and towns, our universities and cultural institutions. That is why it kills our children and terrorizes and traumatizes them, scarring and disfiguring their futures. We often quote the number of children killed, an unbearable tragedy, but we should not forget the 25,000 children orphaned, and the tens of thousands wounded and amputated. A 12-year old Palestinian girl, with the most beautiful of names Dunya, which means the world, lost both her parents, her sister and her brother, all killed in Israel’s shelling of her house. She also lost her leg. And Dunya said that while she will never forget her loved ones, she has to continue living. That she would become a doctor to help children as doctors helped her.

Once the slaughter is over, and it has to be over, there is an expectation that Palestinians should move on regardless of the lives lost, of the limbs lost, of the loved ones lost. There is an expectation that parents will walk the earth with the shadow of their killed children and do nothing about it. The children who are orphaned will hold onto the memory of their parents but not to the anger over how they were killed. There is an expectation that a nation will be able to move on from the reality of parents carrying their children’s remains in plastic bags, of families buried under the rubble or in the sand they found shelter in after everything else was destroyed. That we will be able to move on as a nation from the images of burning children, of starving infants, of the impact that bombs left behind, on the lives of many Palestinians, on their scarred bodies, in their hearts and minds, of the impact that a single bullet lodged in the child’s head or heart has over an entire family forever. We said long ago, we made a choice, to seek justice not vengeance, but we cannot be prevented from seeking either. We cannot continue to be denied our right to life, to liberty, to dignity. We cannot be denied recourse and reparation. No one has a rightful claim to supremacy, to exceptionalism, to domination, to oppression, no one.

Many of you were confused by the vote yesterday on the US draft resolution in the security council. While the resolution showed a significant evolution of the US position and contained many important elements on the future of Gaza including a rejection of any demographic or territorial change and in relation to the Gaza Strip as part of of the Palestinian State, it also had several extremely problematic aspects that had to be rejected. Guyana explained thoroughly these elements. Take a listen.

The Israeli representative, a few days ago quoted Golda Meir “Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.” Is there anything more dehumanizing than denying the love Palestinian parents carry for their children ?

The whole world chants for Gaza, weeps for Gaza, aches for Gaza, is outraged by what is happening in Gaza. But the people in Gaza, the children of Gaza, have no use for our chants, our tears and our outrage if they are not accompanied by actions that could actually stop the killing, feed the hungry, heal the wounded, save those who can still be saved.

The arrogance of the colonizer You have to hear this to believe this. Netanyahu invoking the Holocaust to explain why Israeli leaders can not be held accountable for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide forgetting that the entire world order was built in reaction to the Holocaust and other tragedies to ensure humanity would not tolerate such crimes regardless of the identity of the perpetrators or the identify of the victims. Saying Israel has the most moral army when images coming from Gaza including those filmed by Israel’s own soldiers show the horrors it has inflicted upon the Palestinian people in the last 7 months not to talk about the horrors of the last 7 decades and a half is beyond outrageous. There is nothing that justifies the targeting of civilians, indiscriminate attacks, collective punishment, starving them. Nothing. Regardless of their nationality, faith, regardless of circumstances. And the Palestinian people are no exception.

For those who contest our right to an independent state in our land, what are they proposing? A one-state solution between the river and the sea, with equal rights for all, with everyone enjoying the right to vote and able to exercise their political and human rights? I doubt that is their intention given the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. So what are they proposing? There are only three options left: genocide, ethnic cleansing, or apartheid, or a combination of all three. The destruction and removal of a nation by force and the continued subjugation of a people. This is horrible and unacceptable and it is what we are witnessing before our very eyes.
