“Humanitarian zone” my ass.
Israel has forfeited the right to claim any moral position related to humanity given they lack it entirely. Oops, it”s kinda what happens when you commit genocide. (You know Israel is committing genocide, right? Do you live under a rock? Are you a genocide apologist and thus complicit in genocide? No. OK, so you know that Israel is committing genocide.) https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/115048764598296632

At least 19,424 children have been killed in Israeli attacks over 700 days of genocide in Gaza, the equivalent of one child every 52 minutes.
Among the victims are 1,000 infants under the age of one.
As relentless Israeli bombardment, forced displacement, and #starvation continue, warnings grow louder: nowhere in the enclave is safe for children.“Gaza is becoming a graveyard for children,” said #UN Secretary-General António Guterres as early as November 6, 2023.
According to the latest death toll update by the Palestinian Health Ministry, children in Gaza account for more than 30 percent of the deaths as Israel’s #genocide entered its 700th day on Friday.
“Consider that for a moment. A whole classroom of children was killed, every day for nearly two years,” #UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell told the UN Security Council. https://qudsnen.co/?p=64342

Acknowledging that I will never recover from how my father died has strangely liberated me to remember him (with and w/o the disease -- I had forgotten the latter) & help others.
