Det oerhörda på Kibbutz Be’eri

När det oerhörda först beskrivs och sedan bekräftas når vi själva den punkt där förtvivlan övergår i apati. The Guardian klockan 7:04 i dag:

 

On Wednesday, Yossi Landau, the head of operations for the southern region of Zaka, Israel’s volunteer civilian emergency response organization, reportedly told CBS news that he saw children and babies who had been beheaded. The location was not specified in the report.

Delivering an IDF situational update early on Thursday, Conricus, who was speaking about Kibbutz Be’eri said:

“Out of 1,000 Israelis who lived in this beautiful community, 100 were killed. Today, body bags, many body bags, were evacuated from that kibbutz, including those of children, and including those of babies.

We got very, very disturbing reports that came from the ground that there were babies that had been beheaded. And I admit it took us some time to really understand and to verify that report and it was hard to believe that even Hamas could perform such a barbaric act.

But after eyewitnesses came forward, and after a senior official in the Israeli coronary service Zaka came forward on record on CBS news and said ‘yes, I saw the bodies of beheaded babies’, I think we can now say with relative confidence that this is unfortunately what happened in Be’eri. This is what Hamas did to Israeli citizens.”
