'Now I understand why Israel is denying journalists access to the appalling scene in Gaza'

Hasnain says:
And here we are, going out and about our day, while this is happening in our name
“This sentiment echoes what Pep Guardiola, manager of the Manchester City football club, said last month: that when he looks at the children of Gaza, he is afraid that his children will be next in line.
"Maybe we think that we see the boys and girls of 4 years old being killed [in Gaza] by the bomb or being killed at the hospital because it's not a hospital anymore. It's not our business," Guardiola said, upon receiving an honorary doctorate from the University of Manchester. "But be careful. The next one will be ours. The next 4- or 5-year-old kids will be ours. Sorry, but I see my kids when I wake up every morning since the nightmare started with the infants in Gaza. And I'm so scared."
For his part, Filiu says during our conversation, he saw in Gaza a place where "international law, basic human rights, the Geneva Convention, the attitude toward human rights – all are being tossed aside without hesitation and being supplanted by raw, random and very violent force."
The "Gazan monster," he warns, will not be contained within fences but will spill out across the globe. "It is threatening the whole world in a very basic and very immediate way."”
