Every few years, literally, every few years, Israel has a policy of what it calls mowing the lawn in Gaza. I've written quite a lot on those mowings of the lawn. But I have a question for you. And I do not believe these are rhetorical questions. These are factual questions. How do you react, you as a human being, as a woman, as a mother? How would you react to the usage of that phrase, mowing the lawn of a people, when 1.1 million of those people are children? Do you get that? Mowing the lawn of 1.15 million children. Now, that may be the first time you've heard that expression. It is. But I've heard it for years and years and years. And nobody even bats an eyelash at that expression to mow the lawn in Gaza. In 2008-2009, Operation Cast Lead, they mowed the lawn, killed 350 children. 2014, Operation Protective Edge, they mowed the lawn again, killed 550 children. And now they're mowing the lawn again, and have killed 4,000 to date, 4,500 children.
