Bullies on the Playground While Gazan Babies Die in the Hospitals


Dr. Lenore Daniels
Message Dr. Lenore Daniels

Death hovers over the babies. Struggling to survive, the babies are unaware of Hamas, claiming to protect them from harm. Or Israel, vowing to root out Hamas.

What to these premature babies know about supply and demand?

After a negotiated sale of arms, these babies have never shaken hands with the corporate CEOs at Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, or McDonnell Douglas. They certainly haven't stood alongside a line workers Raytheon. And yet, these little struggling human beings are without incubators because corporate heads, world leaders, citizens in Europe and in the US believe their lives are worth less than the deal to carry out a war. Too many believe these babies are expendable. War, on the other hand, is a necessity to maintain world dominance rather than democracy!


The premature babies don't have any incubators because of the capital one country receives from another. And because the other, the other bullies in the playground, labeled by the other bullies, terrorists, receives their weapons of choice from the Black Market.


Already, a 130 billion dollars from the US, taxpayers, that could have been spent on first-rate medical care for babies in the US, has been received by Israel to pursue enemies.


In the meantime, it's hard to see enemies when we look at the news coverage and see the babies placed next to each other for warmth. The babies are struggling to survive at Al Shifa Hospital and the weapons of mass destruction, the weapons that provide the wealth for some folks to purchase the latest yachts after opening an account in the Cayman Islands, should never have been used to attack a hospital. Only, who's stopping the bullies from carrying out their war games?


So armed Israeli soldiers are there in the hospital where the equipment and supplies to treat the sick should be, if not for the tanks crushing whatever didn't become pulverized in the bombing of the hospital. Amid the rumble, the Israeli soldiers are there in the hospital where over a thousand Palestinians seek shelter in the hallways while Palestinian doctors and nurses and volunteer doctors and nurses from around the world, see babies rather than a plan for war.


The doctors and nurses may not be privy to this plan; yet they are creating a discourse of knowledge about war the war profiteers and mongers will never understand. And it beginnings with seeing the unexpected: worms moving in and out of the bodies of their former patients left to lie in the hallways until buried in the hospital!


Such knowledge could abolish war"


Oh, I know the spokespersons for these corporations and the politicians say they don't intend to harm the little babies. I know they say that. But ask the mothers and father. That is, if the little ones have been declared Wounded Children No Surviving Family (WCNSF). Not only the babies but it seems that the bullies also don't know that half of Gaza's population consists of babies, children, youths until 18-years-old.


How can we allow weapons profiteers, Raytheon, Boeing, General Dynamics, and others, to exist in a world where babies also exist? Where babies, human beings want to survive and secure rights to exist without war?


It's Hamas ' fault ! We're after Hamas ! Terrorists ! Hiding at the hospital!


With three billion dollars earmarked for Israel every year, imagine what that money could do to save Gazan babies? But who cares about the future of Gazan babies. The bullies on the playground have a plan! And a ceasefire? Well, the capitol needs to wage war will continue to flow to the war makers. To the weapons manufacturers and the governmental leaders, intent on making war.


They are beginning to look alike.
