The Whores of War

A hospital houses society’s most vulnerable and defenseless.

If an army can get away with targeting a hospital for annihilation, then it can target the entire population with impunity.

Al-Shifa is Gaza’s flagship hospital.

It currently houses 60,000 Gazans: infants, elderly, the physically and mentally disabled, as well terrified refugees seeking haven.

In Israel’s bloodlust eyes, al-Shifa carries a huge symbolism: the last obstacle and threshold to its War of Annihilation.

The institutions of depraved Western “civilization” are currently waging a propaganda campaign on behalf of Israel’s Final Solution to the Gaza Question.

The European Council has just issued a statement that the “EU condemns the use of hospitals and civilians as human shields by Hamas.”

This writer has exhaustively scrutinized the human rights record. No credible evidence exists that Hamas has engaged in “human shielding.”

Whereas, there’s voluminous evidence that Israel has used Palestinians as human shields.

Today, the New York Times ran a story overflowing with Israeli “proof” that the basement of al-Shifa hospital contains Hamas’ “vast command complex.”

The Israeli story comes straight out of the iconic 1960s television series, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (United Network Command for Law and Enforcement). A trap door in the dressing room of Del Floria’s Tailor Shop opened into the sprawling U.N.C.L.E headquarters.

The Times states that “Senior Israeli intelligence officials allowed the Times to review photographs that purported to show secret entrances to the compound from inside the hospital. Signs identifying the location as Al Shifa were clearly visible in the photographs, though their authenticity could not be independently verified.”

What prevents the Times from publishing these damning photographs? A snapshot of these Hamas entranceways would hardly endanger Israeli state security.

Or better still, the Times takes pride in its investigative sleuthing that has garnered it numerous Pulitzers.

What prevents a Times reporter from tracking down the “secret entrances” inside the hospital that are “clearly” marked in the photographs by “signs” right outside them and then taking a peek inside?
