Human desperation and agony so immense it is visible from space.
I recall how the U.S. once shared satellite imagery of the mass graves from Srebrenica to mobilize other countries to stop atrocities. (Graves I later visited.)
Now the U.S. is co-author of the satellite documented atrocities.

Anyone seeking to “but Hamas” this deliberate Israeli campaign of mass murder of children should be shamed out of public life, from policy makers to academics who have continued to act as if there is some meaningful debate over Israel’s intentions and actions.
This is the Washington Post (yes, that one): names in Arabic and English, and ages, of all 18,500 children killed in Gaza, plus portraits and stories where available: www.washingtonpost.com/world/intera...
60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names.
Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one per hour since the war began.
