Undefeated

A few of Israel’s impressive accomplishments during it’s 22-day assault on Gaza:*

1,285 people killed.
895 were non-combatants.
280 were children.

4,336 people wounded.
1,133 were children.

2,400 homes destroyed.
29 educational institutions seriously damaged or destroyed.
30 mosques destroyed.
121 industrial and commercial workshops destroyed.
6 factories destroyed.
5 media institutions destroyed.
2 health facilities destroyed.

This was not “collateral damage.”
These were not mistakes.
This was intentional.
This was meant to teach a lesson.
This was meant to beat a people into submission.
And despite the pain and anguish it has left in it’s wake for the last 60 years,
That approach has never succeeded.

It fails again.
