KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — A mother pressed a final kiss to what remained of her 5-month-old daughter and wept. Esraa Abu Halib’s baby now weighed less than when she was born.

On a sunny street in shattered Gaza, the bundle containing Zainab Abu Halib represented the latest death from starvation after 21 months of war and Israeli restrictions on aid.

The baby was brought to the pediatric department of Nasser Hospital on Friday. She was already dead. A worker at the morgue carefully removed her Mickey Mouse-printed shirt, pulling it over her sunken, open eyes. He pulled up the hems of her pants to show her knobby knees. His thumb was wider than her ankle. He could count the bones of her chest

    Lets break the cycle of violence and killing to solve a conflict and start to de escalate wars with our mouths instead of more killing, plus they deserve lifelong torture in prison instead of a quick death. But thats a naive way to think about I guess and justice will never happen on this world

        If by “Nazi”, you mean the ~8 million registered members of the Nazi party, then to a first approximation, we left them alone.

        I think we, as a globe, sent the Nazis to prison nonviolently as violence is never the answer /s(ardonic)

      This is the 200 IQ way. We need justice, not revenge.

      Prison. That’s what they should get. That’s not what they deserve to get. But what they should get. And then that should be that. The end.

          Let’s stop the genocide first and foremost. Given that a war is already ongoing, violence is the only answer. Once we’ve met them with enough violence for them to consider listening to reason, I’m all for it, but talking isn’t going to do shit for this problem.

            No marginalized group was ever granted rights because they asked for it nicely. I think death should always be avoided and I’m fully against the death penalty and torture but when violence is the only way, the oppressed have every right to use it.
