Biden’s bombs burn babies. There have been further murders by Israel in the day since.
But so far, the reaction from the US and Australia and the world is not “enough is enough” as it was when Kim Phuc ran down a Vietnamese street with her back covered in flaming napalm. Buddhist monk Thich Tri Qang self-immolated to try to stop the Vietnam War, and US serviceman Aaron Bushnell has done the same this year over Gaza.
