Suffering in Gaza, lest we forget


July was the most lethal month for the Palestinians of the occupied West Bank and Gaza since the terrible month of April 2002.

The MSM in the US seems to have almost completely stopped reporting on the horrors inside Gaza. Which doesn't mean they're not happening...

In July, according to this report from B'Tselem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories,

the Israeli military killed 163 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, 78 of whom (48 percent) were not taking part in the hostilities when they were killed. Thirty-six of the fatalities were minors, and 20 were women. [Meanwhile,] In the West Bank , 15 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in July.
