“A short while ago, the IDF struck an important Hamas operational, political and military center in Gaza — the Islamic University.”

(October 12, 2023) — And so the death siege gathers momentum, smiting down important Hamas operational, political and military centers with each new bomb.

Strafing important Hamas operational, political and military center grandmothers, cripples and infants.

Crushing important Hamas operational, political and military center ambulance drivers, social workers, nurses, anaesthetists and phlebotomists beneath the rubble of important Hamas operational, political and military center apartment buildings, day-care centers, lunch counters and drug stores.

Blasting into tiny pieces of meat formerly important Hamas operational, political and military center second graders struggling to deal with the loss of both parents and three siblings the day before yesterday.

Atomizing into red spatters important Hamas operational, political and military center refugees trapped inside the gateway to Egypt who, exhausted from flight have finally sat down defeated in the sun to wait for death to take them from the world’s largest open air prison.

Detonating thousand pound bombs to snuff out the strangled cries of important Hamas operational, political and military center babies shrieking in pain from the loss of limbs on Tuesday in a land without pain killers, surgeons, antibiotics and illuminated hospitals.

Finally putting to an end important Hamas operational, political and military center Gaza hospitals which, with the end of electricity, quickly transition room by room into graveyards of unburied putrifying stench.

A hospital in Gaza after airstrike.

Spine-severing shrapnel hurtling invisibly through the air to terminate important Hamas operational, political and military center fathers wretching blood after days of moving rubble to pull out torsos of babies with crushed skulls.

Laying finally to waste any misapprehension that important Hamas operational, political and military center art and theater and agronomy and ecology and lovemaking and music and poetry and understanding could redeem a species so devoted to synchronizing the next death siege.

Finally silencing radioed messages from bloviating senators, presidents and other cowardly tyrants round the world, blaring solidarity with the murderous oppressors, all of them jabbering that evil sprang into existence for the first time ever on October 7. Standing in solidarity, backs turned as the Israelis carefully bomb important Hamas operational, political and military centers.
