I'm sorry, but what the actual fuck is the purpose of the UN, if Netanyahu can just walk through the doors and is allowed to speak at the general assembly while there is an international arrest warrant out for him?
What a fucking farce!
This story would have made much bigger headlines if it had happened in Tel Aviv, New York, Rome, or Paris. But this is Gaza.
Gazan Journalist Youssef Fares writes:
“Last night, an unbearably foul smell spread across Gaza City. At first, you start second-guessing yourself. You wonder if it’s coming from the bathroom or from one of your sleeping children. You check everything, but you can’t find the source.
Then messages start pouring into our journalists’ groups. Everyone is smelling the same thing. It has seeped into homes and tents, from the Tuffah and Daraj neighborhoods in the east all the way to Beit Lahia in the west.
Eventually, we learn that Israeli aircraft had dropped hundreds of foul-smelling bubbles across the area, apparently to contaminate the air.
Yes. Even the air, it seems, is more than they think we deserve.”
Fares ends with a furious condemnation of the Israeli occupation, describing it as “the lowest, vilest, most despicable and repulsive thing humanity has ever known.”
Ravi Nair has been in jail for almost a week now.
