In Plain Sight

In Plain Sight

The last Palestinian left alive in Gaza will be a child lying starving in the rubble. An IDF soldier will be filmed walking slowly over and shooting her in the head. The media will report that he saw an unclipped grenade in the reflection of her eyes, a Hamas control centre deep in the pit of her stomach, a flicker of defiance in the faltering beat of her heart. With everyone successfully starved, shot and blown away, the blood-drenched Western leaders will scrub themselves clean and declare that at least it didn’t meet their definition of genocide.
