When does a person stop being a person?
When one dead child becomes one of a hundred
When news of killings become 'old' news or the 'same' news
When the extraordinary becomes the ordinary
When does a human stop being human?
When we stop empathising
When we equate one person with the whole nation
When one small child is seen as only the offspring of the enemy
When we see the enemy as less than human, we too become less than human
- as Israel razes down Gaza and the world watches...
