Prior to his death, Pope Francis donated the popemobile he used during his visit to Bethlehem in May 2014 to be turned into a mobile clinic to assist children in the Gaza Strip.
The initiative was personally entrusted by the late pontiff to Caritas Jerusalem to respond to the grave humanitarian emergency in Gaza, where nearly 1 million displaced children live without access to food, clean water, or basic medical care amid the conflict with Israel.
However, ongoing border restrictions, including the sealing of the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza, have prevented the vehicle, which was refurbished with essential medical equipment, from reaching its destination.
I just can’t fathom the amount of mental gymnastics that must be required to simultaneously still sleep at night or look at yourself in the mirror knowing you’re whatever monster that makes these decisions knowing full and well that children WILL die as a direct result of them.
Normally I’d say ‘may God have mercy on your soul’ here, but… We’ll reserve that for someone with some semblance of humanity left inside them, I think.
It’s easy if you don’t consider these people as human beings. Dehumanisation is terrifying.
To Zionists, you’re not human unless you’re one of them.
Arendt’s subtitle famously introduced the phrase “the banality of evil.” In part the phrase refers to Eichmann’s deportment at the trial as the man displayed neither guilt for his actions nor hatred for those trying him, claiming he bore no responsibility because he was simply “doing his job.” (“He did his ‘duty’…; he not only obeyed ‘orders,’ he also obeyed the ‘law.’”)[1]
Don’t forget the mental gymnastics of the so called “faithful Christians” who love the late Pope and Israel at the same time!
Look at the history for some context, Egypt used to help them, just like many other states.
The Catholic Church is Hamas.
