ICE-Gestapo grabbing Canadian toddlers

and holding them for weeks. When you do this to a child that young they do not understand and usually think they have done something wrong. The trauma that Crumb the 1st and his fascists have inflicted on children in the first term and again now is monstrous and creates lifelong damage to these children. Such needless damage is cruelty on a scale and depth that lowers these perpetrators to deserving being labeled subhuman.

Remember that these same perpetrators show off their own children while knowingly and purposely damaging the children of others. While that thing he calls a "wife" wears a coat blatantly saying she doesn't care about others. While the perpetrators claim they don't want starvation and injury to Palestinian children while at the same time providing massive amounts of weapons to inflict those injuries and support the attackers who hold aid and medicine away.

Children. So many children dead now that it is undeniable that their deaths, injuries and starvation is a strategy of the attackers and the ones supplying them the weapons. Thousands upon thousands of children with missing arms and legs, blinded, brain injuries, severe burns and the world doesn't even make food, water and medicine available to them. The world pretends it can just utter words of condemnation and then turn away and feel they have done what the could. Meanwhile the screams of children undergoing amputations without anesthetic ring out across Gaza and into the air to fall on the deaf ears of world leaders that have military force that could stop this.

But they claim to be helpless and won't even throw out diplomats and ceasing trade is argued as being unwarranted. If not for this horror then when? Children. They are children in the crosshairs of the malevolence, indifference and cowardice of the world.

When this passes we know that the cowards who lead the attackers and the countries around the world who could stop it but won't will try to explain away most of it and hope it fades from the memories of their citizens. Much the same way that hundreds of thousands of unnecessary Covid deaths in the US are no longer a constant focus when talking about the one who made those deaths possible.

It is not a brave thing to do these things to children. It is despicable cowardice. Those who wear a mask and fatigues may conceal their personal identity but no mask or uniform can negate their identities as cowards. Likewise leaders of countries in their suits and ties, dining on the finest of food at every meal and commanding attacks or failing to step in to protect even children.

While the attackers and their supporters, smile and say they want peace and yet continue to make war and wallow in and worship the violence and brag about their ability to kill at will. Killing children and claiming to be righteous. It is not "Great Again" about anything and it is not a "fault of others". There is nothing "Great" or "righteous" in doing any of this to children.
