A SINGLE BLOW TO THE HEAD: KILL ONE TO TEACH A HUNDRED

A few days ago, on 15 June, a little boy was killed in Gaza; he was just 3 years old. His name was Rayan Bahaa Abu Al-Ajeen. There were no signs of violence on his body. Just a bullet hole in his head. A case, we are led to believe, resulting from excessive zeal laced with cruelty on the part of an Israeli soldier, dutifully carrying out the order he received to exterminate the Palestinian people, both today and tomorrow. Above all, we are led to say, in light of the facts, that this concerns the people of tomorrow.
In fact, at least 140 children have been killed in the last two years by a bullet to the head or heart, as reported and documented by the Dutch newspaper *Volkskrant*, based on X-rays and medical reports from Palestinian and foreign doctors working in the Gaza Strip. This is an established practice, the aim of which, in addition to extermination, is ‘educational’: to break the resistance of a people who have usurped the Land of the Fathers, Greater Israel, entrusted to them by Yahweh.
