Too many Guernica's

 




On April 26, 1937, Guernica was bombed by Nazi Germany's Condor Legion and Fascist Italy's Aviazione Legionaria, in one of the first aerial bombings. The attack inspired Pablo Picasso's painting Guernica, depicting his outrage at the attack. Wiki (and image).

Where is the outrage now when capitalist states continue to bomb and kill thousands of innocents?’

Posted twelve months ago on SOYMB. Historically after 1937 there are too many examples of innocent civilians being massacred from the air.

German, British and Japanese cities were firebombed during WW2. Vietnam, Gaza and now Iran, besides other ‘minor conflicts’ have all had to bear the wanton destruction that comes from the military belief that air power wins wars. The air power is now being reinforced by drones and missiles but wherever it emanates from if your a non-combatant in a perceived war zone the result is the same as if you had a rifle in your hand.

When we are now in a situation where civilisations are being threatened with being bombed back to the stone age and belligerents possess nuclear weapons and are insanely displaying signs that they are prepared to use them then the time for humanity to say enough is enough, this social system that holds human life in contempt is long overdue for the dustbin of history.
