It was never a war. There was never a battle between two armies. It was plain murder. In the name of stamping out Hamas terrorism, the Israeli army went full scale into terrorizing the people of Gaza. Its drones rained down missiles on homes, on neighbourhoods and into busy streets. Death came swiftly to those who did not deserve to die. Men, women and children were murdered indiscriminately, in the hundreds and then crossing the thousand-figure mark.

The world did nothing as Benjamin Netanyahu and his soldiers committed these war crimes. Homes turned into rubble, schools were blown up, those who did not die suffered with grave wounds in hospitals that ran out of medicine and then became targets of fresh Israeli criminality.

It was genocide all the way. The state of Israel, bereft of morality, turned into a killing machine.
