Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled.

The world finally sees the true nature of an Apartheid state that has terrorized, displaced. executed, jailed and tortured millions of Palestinians for decades. Israel won’t stop until States and people force it to stop.
