They killed the patients and the medical staff. They came back and killed the first responders and the journalists. Has there been a more complete genocide? Intention, stated and restated, evil committed and recommitted, savagery and arrogance…and the entire world as audience.

This is my grandfather’s historic neighborhood, the one my father, may he rest in peace, grew up in and told me stories about …it is now being deliberately erased before our eyes without so much as a peep. This is genocide in real time.
