Palestinian Genocide

Porte Ponderings:

From the St Bartholomew Massacre of Protestants in 1572 Paris (more than 30,000 murdered) to today’s Genocide in Gaza, Religious battles continue. People killing people because of a difference in heritage and religion needs to stop.

Children always pay the price of wars started and continued by men in safe havens.

According to Wikipedia: As of 30 July 2025, over 63,000 people (61,805 Palestinians^[4] and 1,983 Israelis^[c]) have been reported killed in the Gaza war according to the Gaza Health Ministry (GHM) and Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as 217 journalists and media workers,^[46][d] 120 academics,^[49] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, a number that includes 179 employees of UNRWA.^[50] Scholars have estimated 80% of Palestinians killed are civilians.^{[6][5][7][51]} A study by OHCHR, which verified fatalities from three independent sources, found that 70% of the Palestinians killed in residential buildings or similar housing were women and children.^[52][53]

Optimists and pessimists
die the exact same death,
but they live very different lives!

Porte Ponderings:

Driving home from the trailer I stopped at the stop sign at the corner of Melbourne Road and Glendon Drive. Explaining to my grandson how dangerous this corner is and then across Glendon Drive, I stop on the edge of the road to take pictures of the Great White Egrets playing in the permanent puddles located there. It was the first time I had seen 10 Great White Egrets together in Ontario. My grandson thought they were swans, a more common sight as Arctic Swans migrate through our area, but it was the wrong time of year. Maybe they were just angels remembering all the lost lives at this corner.

Hitler evokes dread and horror throughout the world. Just saying the name evokes pictures of Nazi Concentration Camps and piles of bodies. A wonder of how the world stood by and watched the atrocitities occur.

Similarly history should remember Benjamin Netanyahu as the Israeli President who lead the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. According to Reuters, as of Jul 25, 2024 — Palestinian health authorities say Israel’s ground and air campaign in Gaza has killed more than 39000 people, mostly civilians, …

Those that have survived the bombing no longer have homes or even cities to return to. Now they face starvation. NO food. NO water. NO hospitals. NO infrastructure for their communities. NO HOPE.

“Around 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.1 million population – nine out of 10 people – are internally displaced, many multiple times. An estimated 43,580 are pregnant women. Each evacuation order upends lives, and in no place can survival be guaranteed.”

And the world stands by as the atrocities continue….
