It's A Little Bit Bomby In Gaza Today
Listen to a reading by Tim Foley:
❖
It’s a little bit bomby in Gaza today,
at least that’s what the news men say.
Israeli victims were “murdered” and “killed”
and all mourn the innocent blood that was spilled,
but in Gaza explosives just fall from the air
and nobody mentions who launched them, from where.
They talk about “blasts” and how buildings were “hit”.
Who blasted and hit them? Eh, who gives a shit.
It’s a little bit bomby outside, that’s the weather.
Put up your umbrellas, dudes. Get it together.

It's A Little Bit Bomby In Gaza Today
U.S. President Joe Biden, as well as Britain’s Rishi Sunak, Germany’s Olaf Scholz and the European Union chief Ursula Von Der Leyen, are among the Western leaders who have blood dripping from their hands.
They talk about Israel’s “right to self-defense” while the Israeli military pulverizes Gaza with indiscriminate air strikes and shoots Palestinians dead in the ghettoes of the West Bank. The Palestinian people in both enclaves are being targeted with genocidal ferocity as Israeli leaders denigrate them as “human animals”.
In Gaza for the past two weeks, a population of 2.3 million has been held under total siege without water, food or electricity. Nowhere is safe in the coastal area as U.S. and UK-supplied Israeli bombs rain down on homes, refugee centers, hospitals, schools, churches and mosques. This is barbarous collective punishment meted out on innocent civilians and a gross violation of the Geneva Conventions. It is state terrorism writ large.
And despite the daily horror, Western leaders say nothing except repeat the cynical mantra that Israel has the right to self defense in response to the murderous mass attack by Hamas militants on October 7. https://new.thecradle.co/articles/arab-european-leaders-divided-over-gaza-crisis-following-egypt-summit
Thanks for highlighting the glaring double standard and gaslighting Isrealian atrocities which are far more and far more lethal than Hamas does. And Hamas is the side acting in self-defence.
