"Murder most foul. But this most foul, strange and unnatural Shakespeare Hamlet, act 1 , scene 5)
The Ghost Speaking to Hamlet says that murder is always horrible, but this killing was especially monstrous.
Between 30 March 2018 and 21 May 2018 - just over 7 weeks, 112 Palestinians were killed of whom 13 were under 18, and 12,190 injured. The injured included 7,618 struck. by live ammunition or rubber bullets, including 2,096 children and 1,029 women injured.
223 medics injured by either live fire or tear-gas suffocation, 37 ambulances partly damaged. and there have been 32 amputations.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Gaza_border_protests
At the same time at least 55 journalists covering ongoing protests on the Gaza Strip have been wounded by Israeli soldiers.https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/israel-injures-55-journalists-covering-gaza-protests/1164511
The world cries out in outrage as the wholesale slaughter of the Palestinian people. Not one Israeli has died.I would urge all concerned people to pray for Palestine, to support BDS and call for their political leaders to confront this dreadful catastrophe in the name of peace and justice.At least due to political pressure Argentina have cancelled their world cup warm up game against Israel this coming Saturday.
Today Wednesday 6 June, Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting with Theresa May, how do you greet the head of a government that occupies a people and deprives them of their basic rights, shoots them when they protest and calls the killing of a 21 year old medic "standard operating procedure " Our prime minister is welcoming the man who presides over Israel's occupation and its siege of Gaza,while her Government continues to arms his state.
We should be calling on her to instead impose immediate sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel until it complies with international law, ends its blockade and the occupation, and should give him the welcome he deserves, join the emergency protest opposite No 10 Downing Street. No Israeli war criminal here, free Palestine.
