A Palestinian father who had lost nine of his 10 children in an Israeli airstrike has died from wounds sustained in the same attack, local health officials have said.
Hamdi al-Najjar, 40, a doctor at Nasser hospital, was critically injured when Israeli forces bombed the family house in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis on 23 May, killing nine of his children. He had just returned home after accompanying his wife Alaa, a paediatrician at the Nasser medical complex, to work when the building was struck. He had initially survived alongside his son Adam, 11, who is still in hospital.
Even by the terrible standards of the Gaza conflict, their deaths had shocked the international community.
Footage shared by the director of Gazas health ministry and verified by the Guardian showed the burnt, dismembered bodies of Najjars children being pulled from the rubble of their house near a petrol station as flames engulfed what remained of the familys home.

The "Israel has a right to exist" slogan is always trotted out by Israel when it has done something heinous - or is about to. But if you think about it, that hasbara slogan is devoid of relevance, logic and sense and only serves to justify Israel's crimes.
But I agree nothing justifies this. However, we look at it from the moral, ethical perspective of outsiders. In Israeli minds and of their supporters, it is perfectly justified for the "greater good". How that is defined and made exclusive and restricted to one group only is the essence of the problem in the whole conflict.
That that one surviving little boy, deprived of all siblings and now a father too does not register within that "greater good" calculation.

That just shows I'm too much of an optimist when it comes to humanity. Or, at least I was.
Too many f.cking monsters running this world, supported by other monsters.
