Gaza Destruction and Brutality

The Washington Post compares the level of destruction in Gaza to other wars in the century, finding that this assault surpasses any previous brutality. Buildings have been leveled, civilian infrastructure destroyed, and thousands of civilians, including women and children, have lost their lives. The assault is being aided and abetted by the United States, who continue to ship weapons and provide diplomatic cover. The Pope and a Palestinian reverend in Bethlehem have denounced the war and called for an end to the bloodshed.
