The News

What is the news showing in the US?

This morning, thew news here showed images of bodies so burnt and crushed that, aside from a leg, you would never know that what you were seeing was human.

Dead children, their skin blistered and burnt from head to toe, are lifted out of rubble.

A young boy protectively cradles his baby brother, even in the afterlife.

Twenty three have died as Israel bombs Gaza. Seventeen civilians. Five children.

The death count was rising steadily over the past thirty two hours. A Palestinian friend kept count of Facebook with regular updates. Five. Eleven. Fourteen.

"Stop killing us", he finally posted. He pleaded.
