Palestinian Muslims, meanwhile, are in the midst of Ramadan, a holy month in which they fast from dawn until sunset but celebrate with joyous feasting into the night with lanterns, lights, gifts, sweets and joy. Yet for them, this Ramadan is proving to be a time of starvation, suffering and uncertainty, rather than the month of celebration it is meant to be.

Their plight, whether you call it genocide, ethnic cleansing or massacre, is relentless, with no practical end in sight due primarily to a United States administration that has only recently shifted from outright blocking the United Nations’ ceasefire resolutions to merely abstaining from them.
