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
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.

I’ve just been angry for so long now - it genuinely is driving me mad.
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.
