Scandalizing These Little Ones

The evil illegal Zionist entity known to some as “Israel” is completely out of control as is its primary backer, the Global Amerikan Empire. Both are rapidly disintegrating and will cease to exist within a decade or so. The world will be a much happier, safer place when they’re gone. Until then, they appear determined to cause as much damage and suffering as possible. 

Because of the terrorism, unlawful warfare, and genocide being waged by these two rogue states, West Asia burns. Some fret that things might soon lead to a full-scale war threatening to engulf much of the world. To me, it appears that war is already happening and that it is one front in a pre-existing global war. Idiot Western leaders and the even less cultured buffoons in the MSM still at times maintain that “Israel” is defending itself, allegedly from something it forced Hamas to do, and which allows it to target and murder droves of people in Gaza. And the West Bank, and Lebanon, and Syria, and Iraq, and Iran, and… This is what “Israel” has been doing since 1948, as recounted in Ilan Pappe’s 2007 book, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, which I recommend people read in addition to the other books I’ve mentioned and reviewed this year.

While the primary Resistance forces play an able game of attrition, things are still moving almost too fast to keep a handle on. As geopolitical or military tactical minutia keeps changing, I decided today to focus on a little of the human loss involved. 

Back in May, for reasons related to a bookstore, I joined Telegram. The bookstore matter is still somewhat unresolved. However, I did start to follow a few select channels and people, and lately, I’ve made a few cautious comments. It took a while to winnow the channels down to those a) devoted to the truth, and b) not devoted to nonsense and crypto scams. Now that my little browsing system has settled, I have a good source of added daily information. I also get to see an inordinate number of pictures and videos.

Most of the images are unpleasant. Most of them concern war. And far too many of them showcase the human suffering therein, especially in the Palestinian Genocide. If anyone wants to see them—and, really, no one should independently want that—there are literally thousands and thousands of pictures of slaughtered civilians, far too many of them children (and one child would be far too many). Pursuant to my anti-gore policy, I will not directly show any of these disturbing images. I will, however, link to one of them. WARNING: THIS SHORT VIDEO is one of the most hideous and pitiful things I’ve ever seen, and I think you will agree. For those who can’t bear to look, it’s a perhaps second-trimester baby lying dead in the rubble after being expelled from his or her dead mother. 

Why do they post these images? I suspect it is because they are surrounded by death, and, as they have to deal with it constantly, they figure they might as well show the world what’s happening—particularly the parts of the world responsible for the slaughter. The Zionists simply don’t care. In fact, as this massacre is the fulfillment of their beliefs and policies, one reluctantly imagines they’re happy about it. Hell, we know many of them are. Those in the West, especially in America, are also responsible. Seeing the truth might help a few of them also see the blood on their hands. And there’s plenty to go around. Since May, I’ve seen children beheaded, half-beheaded, truncated, torn into large pieces, cut into small pieces, blasted into red paste, disemboweled, burned beyond recognition, starved to death, and butchered in every manner possible. Of the surviving children, UNRWA says 625,000—which might be all of them—are severely traumatized. Many, many adults receive the same cruel fates, but the loss of a child’s life just hits harder if I’m not mistaken.

What’s that? You’re uncomfortable? Good. That’s a start.

I too hate all of this and I had a hard time cobbling this little report together. Just when I contemplated backing out, I found inspiration from Ilana Mercer, a Jewish woman and “Israeli” citizen: “Genocide’s A Crime, Not A War Crime: Israel’s Waging Genocide, Not War.” She knows. Everyone with an IQ above room temperature knows. Some still choose to blindly or blissfully ignore it, but they must at least still sense something is very, very, very wrong. 

Here’s a video I do recommend everyone watch, even though I somehow find it harder to witness than the images of the dead. It’s of a little girl crying in the street. ​

I imagine she's carrying everything she owns in those two backpacks and the plastic bag. Some of the items might belong to other family members. If she has any left. Odds are, an immediate family member (or two, or all of them) has been Martyred since last October. Odds are, she witnessed the death(s). Her odds of surviving the year are not good. To date, you, complicit Amerikan, and the Zionists have killed a known 20,000 Gaza children. It’s possible the real number is closer to 100,000. This little girl hasn't been in school, Mosque or Church, or a real bed for nearly a year. She doesn't eat much or have clean water. She's trapped in a toxic wasteland the size of Manhattan. No dentist, no doctor, no help. But she has done the jump-and-run routine between bombing zones 3 or 4 times. That’s why she’s out in the street, moving along with everyone else. They’re dodging US-made bombs dropped from US-made warplanes in a US-funded genocide. Again. None of this is her fault and her understanding of the background matters is probably muddled at best. She is, however, keenly aware of her suffering. And, terrified by it all, she does what a little child does: she cries. 

Here’s a little boy in the same predicament. 

Still uncomfortable? Wait a second. Here’s one more to ponder. She’s not being treated. That’s what I hoped was happening when I first saw her. Alas, no. They’re preparing her the best they can for burial in a mass grave. 

Those images are from Gaza. As the reader may know, the carnage has now spread beyond Occupied Palestine. Dr. Marwa Osman has lately posted a terrible series of images from her backyard in Lebanon. Meet the children of the Al-Faris family. ​

They’re all dead along with the rest of the family, thanks to the Zionists and Yankees. Maybe thanks to you. Anyone who didn’t know better might assume the Al-Faris kids were from Ohio or Nottingham or somewhere else in the West. One would hope more people start seeing the truth in all of this madness. Some reporters in West Asia ask, “What if those were your children?” I answer that in a sense, they are our children. We don’t know them and accordingly, we’re not necessarily directly responsible for their wellbeing. But we have no right to assist in their destruction. Doing so creates a scandal.

Do remember what Jesus said about scandalizing the children: “But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.” Matthew 18:6. 

God is their vindicator too.
