‘A baby, an infant, riddled with bullets. Soldiers beheaded. Young people burned alive. I could go on, but it’s simply depravity in the worst imaginable way.” This is how United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken — in Israel to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu — described some of the photographic evidence of the barbarity that Hamas recently inflicted on the Israeli people.
