I avoided this at first, not really wanting to shocked but rather to be informed. As it turned out I wasn't all that shocked - it's hard to be shocked knowing what we already know. The attrocities are unspeakable but your final note about industrialization puts this into context. Human depravity knows no limits once all red lines have been crossed and for Israel there is one very fuzzy line.

What shocks me the most is that even if Western governments are not aware of the specifics, they can conclude that what you report is, without doubt, going on. They don't even turn a blind eye, they welcome it because the end justifies the means.
