Abstract

This article, published in CounterPunch, discusses the author's personal experience in a polio ward as a child and draws parallels to the current situation in Gaza. The author reflects on the death of a young boy in the ward and expresses their obsession with telling this story as a way to relate to the high death toll in Gaza. The article highlights the suffering of children in Gaza, who die alone amidst the chaos and destruction, and criticizes the ideologies that perpetuate this violence. The author calls for opposition to these ideologies and the slogan "a land without people for a people without land." [Extracted from the article]
