this below is a caitlin letter to an australian politician; its a curious thing i encounter speaking with others about the zionists and their genocide. there are few neutral. most who support israel want you to believe, and probably want to believe themselves that there as been almost continuous war in the mid east, forever. when i attempt to recite a bit of history their eyes glaze over as their imbedded beliefs prevent further discussion. attempt to bring up the ottoman history in which there was virtually no difficulties between religions and they don't want to hear it. i don't have a dog in the fight. i only attempt to explain history;
I wrote the following letter to Mark Dreyfus, my local MP here in Australia:
Dear Mr Dreyfus,
Today I saw the skeleton of a young man in Gaza picked clean by dogs, his arms and head intact but the rest of his body was bone and gristle. The colour of the bones was still a bright fresh red. He had been shot only days ago but the cats and dogs had got to him already and gnawed his bones clean. I have never seen anything like it.
Every single day brings fresh horrors to my screen. Each time I think I can no longer be shocked, I am proven wrong. The image of that man made me gasp. It literally took my breath away. I then had to sit with my hands over my eyes while I waited for my heart and breath to come back to normal.
When I close my eyes at night, all I can see is skeletal babies, their little mouths gaping open like baby birds waiting for a worm. I have started to dream about it. Each night I carry a child, a new child, a different baby, trying to find food for them. I wake up with a shadow of an ache in my arms because in my dreams their bones are as brittle as egg shells and I have to be so tender and careful.............more...........
