The image on the cover is of Hamsa Abu Issa, who was only four years old. He will never celebrate his fifth birthday because yesterday Israel bombed his home in Deir al-Balah and beheaded him. He is one of the 490 children killed by Israel in the past twenty days alone.
For two days now, Tel Aviv has shut down the last water pipelines supplying Gaza: in the north, the truck that used to deliver water no longer comes. The threat of death from a lack of drinking water looms ever closer.
Last night, the IDF targeted the journalists' tent in the courtyard of Nasser Hospital: among the victims was journalist Helmi al Faq’awi, who was literally burned alive in front of surviving witnesses.
Just three hours ago, in the dead of night, the Israeli military ordered a complete and immediate evacuation of the southern neighborhoods of Deir al-Balah, which were already overcrowded with displaced individuals from across the Gaza Strip. Tens of thousands of people, abruptly awakened, are desperately scrambling in the dark for their belongings to flee yet again, not knowing where they will go.
According to Israel and its propagandists, all these atrocities against civilians result from "mistakes," as they claim they are “only targeting Hamas.” However, it is not an accident when more than 17,000 children are killed; it’s not coincidental that a larger number of journalists have died than in every world war combined since 1900. Hospitals, infrastructure, schools, and homes are not mistakenly destroyed, nor are 15 doctors accidentally killed and buried in a mass grave.
Moreover, one does not remain silent about all this by mere accident. Countless so-called “good citizens” have consciously chosen, for over 500 days, to believe Israel's humiliating (for anyone with a functioning mind) falsehoods, turning a blind eye to the relentless ferocity unleashed upon millions of defenseless individuals. Their complicity through silence only serves to further ignite the genocidal frenzy.
These cowardly individuals deceive themselves into believing they can escape blame by claiming they have never explicitly endorsed these crimes; they simply consider themselves neutral, unwilling to take a stand.
But it is impossible to be neutral regarding the situation in Gaza, for failing to take a stand means taking a very clear position—one that holds you humanly and morally accountable for unspeakable and unforgettable suffering, a burden you will carry for the rest of your life.
