7 months old

Sam Abu Haikal 

7 months old. 

Shot in the head. In the West Bank.

Sam Harris, a man of immense privilege, writes that if the Palestinians had put down their weapons in 1948, and today, now, everything would be peaceful. I would like to see how peaceful Sam Harris would remain, even with his meditation practise and bank account, if a group of people came and forcefully took his home, and the homes of his family and friends, bulldozed it, bused everyone to some other place, and told him he could never return. They would also take all of his assets. (https://substack.com/home/post/p-200620440)

7 months old. One of 21,240 children killed in Palestine and the West Bank since October 7th 2023.

Twenty-one thousand, two hundred and forty children. 

Children.

Said Professor Nick Maynard, a British surgeon who has worked in Gaza off and on since 2012: “Let me tell you about Zainab, a 7-month-old girl. We had run out of formula feed. She died whilst I was there… 4 days before she died, a group of US doctors had brought in formula feed. They had every bottle deliberately removed by the Israeli border guards”

Where is our humanity?
