Red Cross outraged over killing of medics by Israeli forces in Gaza

2. This is truly barbaric, criminal and indefensible.

Hence the silence. Any attempt to try to defend this by raising the spectre of TERRORISTS, HAMAS! would look very bad indeed. Though, honestly, that doesn't deter some. They might be along shortly.

We had an ice storm here and I was without power for 4 days (can't imagine living like that for 1.5 years!). So I missed this awful story and am just commenting now.

OCHA, the UN agency for humanitarian assistance had this to say:

"...very emblematic of the point we’ve reached in Gaza. What is happening here is defying—it defies decency, it defies humanity, it defies the law. It is a war without limits.”

No limits to what Israel is allowed to do to Palestinians. That our governments in the West let it go on for well over a year is shameful.

Similarly, no limits on the extent to which some will continue to turn a blind eye, deny it's happening, claim HAMAS! HUMAN SHIELDS! project blame elsewhere, change the narrative, etc etc. It's DARVO applied to a whole group of terrorized people.

I despise it not just because it's so dishonest but also because it actually helps continue the barbarity and slaughter with impunity. It runs cover for the indefensible.
