Nobody Should Be A Number: Names Of Those Killed In Gaza

[Purveyor]

At the time of writing, Israeli air strikes and shelling had killed dozens of Palestinians since the start of Operation Protective Edge. There had been no deaths on the Israeli side.

Some of those killed by Israel were Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants, others were civilians, including women and children. The Israeli army has been bombing the family homes of militants, which it claims were also being used for military purposes. Many of the children killed thus far were related to individuals whose homes were targeted.

All too often, casualties on both sides of this conflict are remembered only as numbers. This post is a reminder that each one has a name.

The following is a list of those Palestinians who have been killed thus far, as provided by the Palestinian Ministry of Health to Lebanese daily Al Akhbar. This list will be updated, including the names of Israeli casualties, should there be any.

1. The American media is a hate crime scene, valuing one nations human beings over another proves it.

6. Seraj Ayad Abed al-A’al, 8, was wounded in the same bombing and succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday evening.
7. Mohammed Ayman Ashour, 15, died in the same bombing.

Do Seraj and Mohammed care that they died as the consequence of hate, or consequence of accident or a consequence of politics, or because a nation has " a right to defend itself", all they know is that they are dead.

2. I'm wondering when the US will start airlifting the Palestinian children and

their mothers to the US for asylum?

We have room and $$$ for the children of Central America, why not for the children of Palestine?

3. Not a bad idea as American imperialism is responsible for both.

4. Operation Good Will, wouldn't that have been a label more reflective of the intent of the mission?

5. "Mohammed Khalaf al-Nawasra, 4, arrived at the hospital “in shreds.”"
