Burying the ambulances themselves along with the medics they executed is one of the elements that makes this latest crime so extraordinary and also revealing.

A group of IDF soldiers collectively agreed to use a bulldozer to bury the ambulances in sand, with the men they had just killed, on the apparent hope that nobody would notice that 15 men were missing. Consider how far down the path of dehumanization you have to be to get there.

It's happening right in front of us. Right in front of us. It's like if everyone in Nazi Germany had screens in their homes broadcasting exactly what was happening inside the extermination camps the entire time. Nobody can say they didn't know. That claim does not exist for us.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Opposing the Gaza holocaust doesn’t make you a good person. Failing to oppose the Gaza holocaust makes you a bad person.

It’s not something you do so you can feel good about yourself, it’s something you do so you can live with yourself. Because the alternative is unacceptable to anyone with even the most elementary building blocks of a conscience.

I sometimes see people describing opposition to Israel’s actions in Gaza as “virtue signaling”, but there is nothing virtuous about opposing Israel’s actions in Gaza. “Virtue” is defined as “behavior which demonstrates high moral standards.” That’s not what this is. Opposing an active genocide is just the bare minimum requirement for not being a shitty human being. It’s no more “virtuous” than pulling a drowning toddler out of your pool; it’s just what one does when one is not a complete psychopath.

Those who call it “virtue signaling”, or accuse anti-genocide demonstrators of participating in some kind of fashionable social media trend, are confessing something very revealing about who they are as individuals. They are admitting that they cannot imagine any reason why anyone might take a forceful stand against an ongoing genocide unless it brought them social clout. They are admitting that they are bad people.

Those of us who have dedicated our time to opposing the genocide in Gaza are not doing anything special, noble, or exemplary. We won’t look back on our action with pride, we’ll just have the ability to look back on our lives at this point in history without shame. When our grandchildren ask us what we did about the Gaza holocaust, we won’t feel the need to lie or hang our heads. That’s it.

The fact that those of us who are aggressively opposing this genocide make up such a small percentage of our society does not say wonderful things about us, it says terrible things about our society. How pervasively our hearts and minds have been poisoned by propaganda and the self-centeredness of capitalism. How warped and twisted our consciences have been made. How many of us have failed to mature as individuals during our time on this planet.

It says dark, dark things about our civilization that this nightmare has been allowed to continue. That our rulers are able to facilitate this relentless mass atrocity month after month while still remaining in power. That today children will be murdered in some of the most horrific ways imaginable with the assistance of the western power structure we live under, and yet so few will stand against this because it’s unpleasant to think about, or because we’d rather watch TV, or because we support one of the western political parties who have helped make this possible, or because we’re worried what publicly opposing Israel might mean for our career prospects or our social standing, or because we fear that the cognitive dissonance we’d experience by letting the reality of this thing truly hit home for us might crush us to death under its weight.

And all we can do is refuse to participate in that insanity. Not because we are righteous, but because we want to be able to sleep at night. Because we don’t want to become the kind of person who can remain peripherally aware that they are witnessing history’s first live-streamed genocide without doing everything they can to try and stop it. Because we want to be able to look back and know we did everything we could.

Before he self-immolated outside the Israeli embassy last year in protest of the Gaza holocaust, an active duty member of the US Air Force named Aaron Bushnell wrote the following on Facebook:

“Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.”

Bushnell wasn’t passing judgement on anyone in particular when he said this. He was just handing us a mirror. What we see when we look into that mirror is nobody’s fault but our own.

Israel did not just summarily execute over a dozen medical workers. It summarily executed them precisely because they are medical workers. And it did so in the full knowledge its Western enablers will ensure there will be zero consequences.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Palestine is the litmus test of our time.

If you support the genocide, you are as exposed as morally depraved.

If you stay silent over the genocide, you are exposed as a coward.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Here’s a test.

Could the Israeli army summarily execute several medics en route to collect injured people, toss them into a mass grave, and the Western media still not report it as an unspeakable atrocity?

In the movie, the writers couldn't even conceive that the Joker would blow up a hospital full of patients, he evacuated them first...

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

In Movies We Understand That The Genocidal Child Murderers Who Blow Up Hospitals Are The Villains

Remember in The Dark Knight when we all applauded the Joker for heroically blowing up a hospital?

Or remember when we watched Star Wars and cheered for the protagonist Darth Vader as he destroyed a planet to punish the rebel scum for daring to resist him?

How about when we watched Schindler’s List anxiously hoping the Nazis would be able to thwart the diabolical scheming of the villain Oskar Schindler to prevent them from committing genocide?

Or when we watched Avatar and cheered for the interstellar megacorporation and its army of mercenaries to displace the indigenous people of Pandora to steal their land?

Or when we watched The Pelican Brief hoping the heroes would find some way to kill Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington to stop them from reporting the truth about their crimes?

Or when we watched The Pianist and wept at the evil Jews attacking innocent Nazis in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising?

Or when we watched The Lord of the Rings and booed the villainous men, elves and dwarves fighting to survive a siege by Saruman’s heroic army of orcs?

Or when we watched V for Vendetta on the edge of our seats worried that the government would fail to stomp out the rebellion, suppress the truth from coming out, and impose more authoritarian measures on the people?

Or when we watched Revenge of the Sith and cheered for the hero Anakin Skywalker mass murdering children in order to wipe the Jedi out of existence?

Yeah, I don’t remember that either.

Nobody seems to have trouble figuring out who the real villains are when it’s happening in the movies. The narrative managers and spinmeisters make it a lot harder to sort out the villains from the victims in real life.

Normally it’s misguided to view any conflict as simply evil villains murdering innocent victims, but not with Israel and Gaza. It’s an apartheid state that’s backed by a globe-spanning empire, raining bombs onto a giant concentration camp packed full of children because they’re the wrong ethnicity.

It’s pretty black and white, actually.

"It was previously reported that the project, worth more than RM9bn, was awarded in 2014 for six LCSs to be constructed.

The first ship should have been delivered in April 2019, but not one ship has been built although the government had already paid the company RM6bn."
