This story has haunted me for the last day or so since I read about. I advise caution before deciding to read all the details, as it's pretty fucking bleak and heartbreaking.

And yet this is what Western Governments are enabling while the mainstream media ignore or minimize It. Imagine if this story was the headline on CNN...

Dude, I can’t read these anymore . These are the most vulnerable people. If this is real I can’t accept this kind of cruelty. “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

Nothing new for Israel. It's an apartheid state anchored in a history of ethnic cleansing. The fact that people are still surprised to find out how cruel it is still baffles me.
