Gaza has become worse than hell on earth, the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross has told the BBC.

In an interview at the ICRC’s headquarters in Geneva, the organisation’s president Mirjana Spoljaric said “humanity is failing” as it watched the horrors of the Gaza war.

Speaking in a room close to a case displaying the ICRC’s three Nobel Peace Prizes, I asked Ms Spoljaric about remarks she made in April, that Gaza was “hell on earth”, and if anything had happened since to change her mind.

"It has become worse… We cannot continue to watch what is happening. It’s surpassing any acceptable, legal, moral, and humane standard. The level of destruction, the level of suffering.

I’ve read Dante’s Inferno. Two things are true:

  1. In envisioning Hell, this is beyond even him.

Though, the ninth circle — betrayal — is where many politicians, pundits, and the president of Israel belong. Frozen in the ice at the center of Hell.

  1. Many people deserve to be sent to Hell for this. Perhaps all of us who did not do more to stop it.

It’s worse. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell.

It’s good that people are complaining what Israel is doing. I don’t think that it will make Israel change its stance on things; but it’s still good that people are complaining.

Well they’re acting like the little shit stain with their big brother standing behind them.

The Zionist’s are running it for the good Israelis.

The genocide in Palestine must end as well as the Zionist Occupation, there is no compromise with fascism.

Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.
