Massacres Upon Massacres
I have said nothing more on the subject of the horrendous atrocities being committed in Gaza. This is partly because even I have been rendered speechless with rage and disgust at the conduct we have seen from the Self-Righteous State, the cynical apologiae of its supporters and the twitching and shuffling of our spineless so-called leaders as they try hard not to stand by whatever sense of morality they may not have managed to excise from their wretched selves.
The other reason is that others have been better able to express my feelings than I can myself.
At this point, I would like to direct you to a piece by Septicisle (whose blog is one of my daily ports-of-call). However, the piece in question is headed by a photograph from the murderous onslaught on the people of Gaza which I know you will find deeply upsetting. I am therefore providing you with the link to the piece without any shouldering of responsibility for the consequences of your clicking on it. You're an intelligent adult; it is always, always your choice.
If you feel that you'd rather not view that piece (and I emphasise again that no blame accrues to you for exercising your freedom to choose), then perhaps I can recommend an article by Professor Avi Shlaim of Oxford published on The Guardian's site earlier today. Once again, however, there is a photograph on it which is unsettling, although not as much so as the other one. Again, it's your call, but I think you should read one if not both of these pieces.
