Biden is outraged!!!

Up to date 33000 Palestinians have been killed, the majority of whom are women and children but Biden was not outraged .Now that seven members of World Central Kitchen have been killed, Biden is outraged. It is important to stress right now that the death of those seven aid workers, whom for the sake of duty put everything on the line is an awful crime-one that should not go unpunished (Killed were three British nationals, an Australian, a Polish national, an American-Canadian dual citizen and a Palestinian)..However the point here is of the reaction of Biden and his American administration that were moved by the death of seven but not by the death of   33000     .

What is it about Palestinians that makes it okay for them to die,okay for Palestinian mothers to shed tears and for whole families to be wiped out .Why does the West and America accept this without too much bother, their conscience safely out of reach.

“The war with Hamas” is what they call it to assuage their guilt ,to soothe any ruffled feathers they might have   ,but in reality it is a war on the civilians of Gaza.A war that has obliterated their infrastructure in addition to decimating the population. Few Hamas leaders have been killed and in that Israel has lost spectacularly, but what it has succeeded in, also spectacularly, is the killing of a civilian population.

Palestinians are paying the price for being steadfast, for adhering to their land and for refusing to be puppets in the international arena.

Maybe they too are paying the price for being Muslim, Arab and mainly brown skinned.

Possibly Brown has become the new Black in the case of Palestinians!
