26-year-old Mariam clutches the cold body of her son to her chest with trembling hands. Mahmoud was only 40 days old. He wasn’t killed by a bomb. He wasn’t shot by soldiers. He died of starvation—slowly, agonizingly, in front of his mother, who couldn’t help him. This happened because the 21st-century neo-Nazi Netanyahu gave a savage order to starve the Palestinians in Gaza to death. Mariam no longer cries. She just sits there, rocking dead Mahmoud as if he were asleep.
How many more Mahmouds must die before the world wakes up?
