“We are closer to death than to life.”—A Nasser Hospital medical staffer in Gaza commenting on his social media
while the Israeli military shoot-up tent encampments on the hospital grounds.
(July 17/25)
“The repairs
that we carry out fall to pieces, patients get terrible infections, and they
die. I have never had so many patients die because they can’t get enough food
to recover…. The medical teams here have also been
seeing a clear pattern of people being shot in certain body parts on different
days, such as the head, legs or genitals, which seems to indicate deliberate
targeting.”—Prof
Nick Maynard a Oxford-based gastrointestinal surgeon currently in Gaza. The
Telegraph, July 17/25)
“First of all, [the] real
disgrace for the United Nations is that there are 60,000 people who have been
killed in 20 months and Gaza has been turned into a meat grinder and it
continues under our eyes, and while member states start uttering words of
condemnation while trading with one hand in weapons and trading with goods and
with the other. So, this is the real disgrace.”
—Francesca Albanese in response to quote from the poisonous
toad Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon, calling her second three-year
appointment as United
Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories “a
disgrace”.
“I knew as well
as I knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the
oppressed. A man who takes away another man’s freedom is a prisoner of
hatred... The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity.”—Nelson
Mandela on ending the system of apartheid (Afrikanns: “separateness”) and
creating a democratic South Africa for all races.
“The West has always a repetition of the very old habit to create some
havoc, some mess and then to fish in the muddy waters.”
—Russian Foreign Minister Sergi Lavrov from an Al Jazerra interview
(December/2024)
