Israeli forces responded to Palestinian anti-blockade protesters with live fire, tear gas, and stun grenades today, shooting a 12 year old Palestinian child in the head as well as at least one other civilian. The military referred to this use of violence as “necessary.” 
Gazans will be at home tonight fearing another round of violence only months after the last horrific escalation which resulted in the murder of over sixty Palestinian children. The international media will either say nothing, or speak of this as “Israel-Hamas tensions.”
Meanwhile, Palestinians continue to be oppressed by a settler-colonial state and its lackeys. Unless people are willing to organize en masse and put their bodies on the line, the cycle of violence will continue.
When the bombs stop in Gaza, the people still lack water, electricity, and medical care.
