Google maps show Gaza’s devastation

JVL Introduction

This is a clear and angry piece about Israel’s carnage in Gaza; its destruction of people and places such that even one month after the pulverisation that followed the October 7th attack on Israel, Gaza looked different as googlemaps show.

There is no equivocation here, Israel is doing this while not allowing journalists in.  Furthermore this emphasises how bizarre it is that we are never to believe information from Gaza but always that of Israel even though it has been Israel that has been shown time and time again to have been lying.  The writer also notes that some believe that Palestinians, under long term siege and ongoing pummelling, have better AI and special effects than Hollywood!

Time for that pernicious and dangerous nonsense to end and for action to be taken by all governments to stop this.
