We should recognise
that whatever vengeful dreadfulness
the Israelis (almost all of them Jews)
have committed, are committing
and will commit in Gaza (and elsewhere)
they are not throwing babies
out of high windows and catching them
upon the points of bayonets.
And the oppression suffered by the Uyghurs,
Tibetans, Mongolians and other border-peoples
of the People's Republic of China
is pretty tame compared with the
actual genocide visited on 'the Indians'
by white citizens of the USA.
Talking of whom, on a lighter note:
legally-sanctioned American Ways of Killing
now number six, in different states.
The various 'Death-penalty protocols' are:
lethal injection,
electric chair,
lethal gas including cyanide,
firing squad,
hanging,
and nitrogen hypoxia.
No other country in the world offers so many legitimate
choices of dispatch, disposal and judicial murder.
(Though I myself would rather be executed immediately after judgement than languish twenty years or more in a horrific Penitentiary, Prison or Institution of Correction...or huddled refugee camp.)

Some Jewish women gave birth in the gas chambers.
I have been reading yet another account of the horrors visited upon the Jews by Nazis and their eager allies in Europe...and I am tired.
I wish that there were as many accounts of the appalling crimes visited by 'Soviet Citizens' (many of them Russians, a few of them Jews) upon millions of other 'Soviet Citizens' (including Russians) by the NKVD and KGB and other (mostly bureaucratic) instruments of Stalin's far longer, equally-insane regime of terror.
