There is just no getting around this bit from the latest Chotiner interview. Doctors Without Borders has never seen this before: the number of civilian casualties, the inescapability of death, the fact that everyone knows what is happening BUT IT DOESN'T STOP.

Doctors Without Borders has been present in a lot of horrific conflict zones, & I'm wondering how what you're dealing with now is similar or different from other places you have experienced?

It's different. And yes, I have worked in conflict zones & they're always very nasty. But this is a particularly brutal thing because of the huge number of civilian casualties. And they can't escape it. They can't move. They're told to displace down south. But are we talking about just reducing the area from forty-five kilometres to twenty kilometres in length and trying to put two million people in there, which is ... It's just an extraordinary situation. And no, I haven't seen it.

They haven't stopped bombing. They're still bombing. They've got troops in there with tanks. And it's just consistent. It's well documented. We are seeing it all over the world in all the newspapers and television. So it's like people know exactly what's happening. And yet it doesn't stop. I haven't seen that before.

Why do you think this is so?

One cannot escape the gut feeling that Biden said to himself, “Hey, I am 81. If I live to a hundred that gives the ICC only 19 years to drag me to The Hague. And it never moves that quickly.”

The era of exacerbation, and our karma is going to be just as relentless. 😔😶😔

It doesn't stop because they people that could stop it don't want to. That they don't want to speaks to just what kind of people we're dealing with here. Not going to stop until what ever they're doing exhausts itself.

It's because for 75 years it's been "Israel are the Good Guys so if Israel is doing it then it must be necessary."

People DON'T know what's happening, though. The vast majority of people I've encountered are lapping up the narrative that Israel is "defending" itself by bombing Gazans into oblivion, blowing up hospitals, and murdering children. People genuinely don't understand what's happening.
