We Condemn! (and little else)

An inter­na­tional relief agency exec­u­tive called on the inter­na­tional com­mu­nity to help chil­dren in Gaza, whom he said are lit­er­ally fac­ing extinc­tion as a result of almost two years of an Israeli block­ade against the strip. — Gulfnews

I couldn’t have said it bet­ter myself.

A few min­utes ago on Al-​Jazeera, a major in the Israeli army was asked if those lit­tle kids were on the list of “ter­ror­ists” that are to be killed.

Ear­lier they were list­ing every sin­gle leader I have heard of con­demn­ing the assault on Gaza that left 225 dead (as of this writ­ing), and an urgent Arab Sum­mit is to be called.

Till when is con­dem­na­tion a suf­fi­cient “action”?

I couldn’t have said it better myself. A few minutes ago on Al-Jazeera, a major in the Israeli army was asked if those little kids were on the list of “terrorists” that are to be killed. Earlier they were listing every single leader I have heard of condemning the assault on Gaza that left 225 dead (as of this writing), and an urgent Arab Summit is to be called. Till when is condemnation a sufficient “action”?
