On Tuesday, 28 November 2023, footage from inside a Palestinian hospital in Gaza went viral. It showed the decomposing physical remains of five Palestinian babies, who had been abandoned to die, slowly and alone. Among the mind-numbing and soul-crushing horrors that Israel and its accomplices, first of all the USA, have produced in their currently delicately "paused" genocide of the Palestinians, this one still managed to stand out.
The premature babies were even more dependent on care and protection than infants usually are. That care was withdrawn because Israeli forces stormed the Al-Nasr Hospital and ordered all staff and patients to leave. The babies could not be moved. Despite Israeli assurances that the Red Cross would be informed to save them, they were left to die. Between the moment of their abandonment and the discovery of their corpses, 17 days passed.
There are many aspects of this atrocity that deserve attention. First of all, the victims and their families, each and every one of them. Then the perpetrators: the Israeli soldiers who stormed yet another hospital, as part of Israel's systematic campaign of devastating Gaza's vital infrastructure; their officers in the field, the men and women who issued their orders, and so on, right to the genocidaire-in-chief Benjamin Netanyahu and his government of criminals. And beyond that their accomplices in the West, of course.
But there is one thing that deserves attention and may nonetheless be overlooked. Just one day before the pictures of the murdered babies at Al-Nasr hit the world, its single richest individual, tech billionaire Elon Musk stood in front of an empty crib in the Israeli kibbutz of Kfar Aza. -- Cont'd at https://tarikcyrilamar.substack.com/p/not-all-empty-cribs-are-the-same
