Here is Ismail’s tribute to himself and the dying humanity.
“Let me tell you, my friend, that I no longer know the taste of sleep. The bodies of children and the screams of the injured and their blood-soaked images never leave my sight. The cries of mothers and the wailing of men who are missing their loved ones never fade from my hearing.
I can no longer bear the sound of children’s voices from beneath the rubble, nor can I forget the energy and power that reverberates at every moment, turning into a nightmare. It is no longer easy for me to stand before the rows of coffins, which are locked and extended, or to see the dead people more than the living who are fighting death beneath their homes, not finding a way out to safety and survival.
I am tired, my friend…”

May today's ICJ decision lead to sanctions and boycotts and stop Israeli lawyers from relying on unpursuasive technical arguments justifying Israel.

Hannah Arendt called this state of mind "moral aloofness". I am pretty sure we don't know half of what went on during these 9 months in Gaza
