Op-Ed: We are dealing with a criminally insane entity called Israel

The Jabalia camp massacre changes everything. We are dealing with a criminally insane entity called Israel backed by a criminally hypocritical superpower. Some people ask whether the genocide in Gaza is unique and unprecedented or par for the course of human history.

Others feel the question diminishes the evil perpetrated against the Palestinians which we witness unbearably and helplessly every day.

What will we do? That is the question we must insistently ask as we look at ourselves and at each other. There are always things that can be done. So, can we live in self-contempt by accepting we can do nothing? We may be poor and weak, and we have to survive. But we are answerable to Allah. Otherwise, we are less than human.
