Those final days of Operation Protective Edge are ones Ive tried to forget. Everyone I know lost someone or some thing during that crazy crescendo of violence just before the ceasefire was announced. Apparently Israel likes to finish off their incursions with a bang. The bombing of these pristine towers during final ceasefire negotiations recalls the US military’s selection of Hiroshima and Nagasaki for nuclear annihilation in World War II, strategically chosen in part because they were untouched. Implementing the principle of “searing into the consciousness” articulated by Moshe Ya’alon, this unprecedented level of destruction struck a final psychological blow, sending an unmistakable message that unless Palestinians in Gaza abandon resistance and accept ghettoization and mass-imprisonment, Israel’s campaign of mass destruction and killing would resume.
