  18. A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

    I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded. I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. I have seen two hundred limping, exhausted men come out of line — the survivors of a regiment of one thousand that went forward forty-eight hours before. I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war.

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933–1945)
    Speech (1936-08-14), Chautauqua, New York

  33. The #archetypal #image of the #wounded #healer

    The archetypal image of the wounded healer suggests that a healer's own wounds and life experiences can give them unique insight and empathy to help others heal. This archetype is found in various cultural and religious traditions, such as the myth of Chiron the centaur in Greek mythology and stories from the Talmud
    The wounded healer is often depicted as a half-human, half-animal figure who suffers eternally from a wound but uses that pain, heal

  34. #Opinion: Children Are Children, Whether in #Israel or #Gaza. They Never Deserve to Die

    In the fascist reality now sweeping Israel, even such a statement is considered treasonous and an expression of Israel hatred. How dare you compare?

    A photo by Associated Press’s Ohad #Zwigenberg on the front page of #Haaretz was worth a thousand words. It showed an IDF soldier inside a #child’s room in #Gaza, his foot resting on a bed. The room’s pink walls, intended to create a calm atmosphere, could not conceal the #horror: the room was a mess, torn and tattered, with only a hairless doll strewn on the bed, reminding viewers that this was the room of a child, which will never serve as one again. Its inhabitants fled for their lives or were killed, or both.

    The Gazan room looked exactly like the destroyed children’s rooms I saw in #Kibbutz Be’eri on the morning after the #massacre. One cannot avoid thinking about the fate of their little #inhabitants, both here and there. If the children in Be’eri survived, they can at least hope for a better future. If the children in #Gaza survived, no hope awaits them.

    #Children are children, one must reiterate, and one cannot but be equally horrified by what has happened to them, both here and there. In the #fascist reality now sweeping #Israel, even this statement is considered treasonous, subversive and an expression of Israel hatred. How dare you compare?

    Midday Saturday, #Hamas’ deputy health minister, Yousuf Abu al-Arish, speaking from the Al-Shifa #Hospital in Gaza, announced that 39 premature #babies are facing imminent death from #suffocation, after #generators shut down, cutting off #oxygen flow to their #incubators. Al-Arish cried out: “This is the moment we’ve been warning about.” Outside, there was already a pile of 100 bodies which had not been identified, covered in white shrouds. They could not be brought to #burial, since the hospital was under #siege, surrounded on all sides by #tanks. The #wounded and #sick, as well as the #dead, could no longer be extricated from the inferno.

    Shortly afterward, Prof. Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor who had volunteered at the hospital in all the previous wars but was now stuck in #Cairo, stated that #Israeli #snipers had spread out around the hospital and were shooting at it. One #nurse on the premature baby ward was killed.

    Photos from# lShifa Hospital before it was cut off showed dozens of bleeding wounded people lying on the floor, and a shrieking father rushing towards his dead infant, who was also strewn on the floor. Hell is there. Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, a #physician from #DoctorsWithoutBorders, said she had no words left.

    There were 4,506 dead children by Friday night. Forty thousand housing units have been totally destroyed. Half of Gaza lies in rubble. The #Rantisi children’s hospital is under siege, with no one able to enter or leave. The #AlNasr Children’s Hospital also stopped functioning and all the sick and wounded children there were evacuated, to God knows where. The #AlBuraq school was bombed on Friday night, and at least 50 people who had thought they had found refuge there were killed. The #IDF reported that a #Hamas company commander who had prevented Gazans from moving southwards was among the dead. Bingo.

    One cannot maintain equanimity in view of these scenes. Even after the visits to kibbutzim and towns in the south the day after the massacre, even after being exposed to all the horrors that took place there. Even after all the stories of the survivors and the dead, and even after watching the movie put out by the IDF spokesperson. One cannot escape being horrified by what is now happening in Gaza, even in the knowledge of what lies underneath those hospitals.

    No less horrific is the recognition that one must now take sides: You are either shocked by the atrocities committed by Hamas, or by the atrocities committed by the IDF. Decide. Choose sides. Which dead children shock you more? Which bereaved parents trouble you more? Can you not see the difference between Hamas, which came here to massacre, and an army that came to save hostages and wipe out Hamas? I can indeed, but the butchered children, and their no-less butchered #parents, have little interest in the intentions of their #killers.

    On both sides, they didn’t deserve to die. Their #killing is equally shocking, and there is no reason in the world to be #apologetic about taking this stance.
