I wonder how Cpl Gilad Shalit feels now that the city of Gaza, Palestine is being shelled out and ground up for the latest bloodbath in the latest imperial Israeli operation.
Of course, he’s being held, probably against his will, somewhere in Palestine. But is anyone curious about what he’s thinking, what runs through the 19-year old’s mind when the city of Gaza is blockaded from food and other critical supplies?
I wonder if he even knows that the only power plant in Gaza was blown up by bombs? If you’ve ever had to deal with a blackout, its annoying enough, but try stumbling around in the dark while your ears, and body, grow sensitive to the discreet feel of bombs and the sonic booms of missiles landing all around you?
All this for the sake of a soldier. Targeting people, infrastructure, everything in Gaza. Israel’s actions are often a playground for interpretation, because its actions so often outweigh the harm done to the only nation in the world whose borders are constantly shifting, usually growing.
A teeming city, potentially on the verge of a humanitarian crisis. It is an infrastructure war. What is happening in Gaza, no matter how hard I try to rationalize, doesn’t make sense. There is no justification for what they are doing.
