Devastating news about these doctors. Working to save lives everyday under these horrific conditions. I don’t believe for a minute that this was a mistake. So sad.
The ongoing carnage in Gaza has been under the radar here with the election news. There hasn't been a single day that Israel has not killed men, women and children in Gaza since the 'ceasefire' took affect over a year ago. That number includes health care workers, aid workers, journalists...most of these deaths are barely mentioned in US media.
Meanwhile, Israel continues to block aid from entering the region, and also deny Gazans the ability to seek care elsewhere. Just days ago, a human rights organization reported that of the 1,134 children in Gaza had undergone limb amputations due to Israeli attacks, a ghastly number in itself, nearly all of them have been prevented from seeking treatment abroad, even as Israel has destroyed prosthetic facilities in Gaza and has killed most of its prosthetics and orthotics professionals. It's simply horrifying, and absolutely indefensible.
Every hospital in Gaza has been damaged or destroyed by Israel. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan hospital, was abducted by the IOF two years ago and has been held hostage without charge ever since. He is one among many Palestinian health care workers imprisoned by Israel. The list of war crimes openly committed by Israel is never ending.
Hopefully the incoming Democratic Congress can finally return some attention to this ongoing atrocity that the US has such a crucial role in creating and sustaining. That chance will be much better if Charles "my job is to fight for all the aid that Israel needs" Schumer is replaced as Senate majority leader.
I was in the room with Po Sih Teng and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa when I saw the movie. Feroze spoke to his own sorrow at not being there still even though he knew he could have been killed. I am deeply saddened to hear this and grateful at the same time to know.
How disingenuous to discuss Gazan hospitals without discussing the well-documented fact that Hamas stages their missiles in hospitals (and schools). But no more than I have come to expect from y'all.
Yes, 'well-documented' by the military doing the mass killing.
Tell me, during the so-called 'ceasefire' where over 1600 men, women and children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, how many IOF soldiers have been killed in the occupied region?
Israel never even pretended to abide by the terms of the fall 2025 'ceasefire'. Aid volumes remain far below required levels, critical humanitarian access routes have been repeatedly obstructed, and reconstruction has not yet begun, while Israel has virtually annexed half of the entire region, including most of its best farmland...and of course, Israel's killings go on every single day, without a pause.
Also, what is your excuse for the daily killings, abductions, beatings, land theft, lootings and destruction by the IOF and its proxy 'settlers' in the West Bank? Do you blame that on Hamas too?
Indeed...I guess it must then follow that US groups like Jewish Voices for Peace and IFNotNow, Orthodox groups like the Neturei Karta and Satmar, Israeli orgs like Physicians for Human Rights–Israel and B'Tselem, and Israeli and Jewish academics and activist from Omer Bartov to Jeremy Ben-Ami, all of whom have loudly and emphatically protested Israel's ongoing atrocities... must all be self hating Jews?
Actually they are. Here's the thing: this is an historical pattern. The anti-Jewish Jews are part of that pattern. So are the self-righteous folk like you. So carry on with your narishkeit. Yours is just the most recent of the many, many forms of anti-Jewish hate that Jews have endured.
Israel under Netanyahoo has become a criminal state, going against everything humane.
I have begun to believe he and/or his cronies were involved in the October 7, 2023, (supposed) Hamas actions, so they would have an excuse to completely obliterate Gaza and kill all Palestinians there, in the West Bank and in South Lebanon.
We here in America bear some responsibility for Israel's ability and propensity to provide the resources that allow this kind of attack upon hospitals and health care workers.
The bombs used in this attack that killed six people and injured dozens more were made in the US - reported by the NY Times:
"Trevor Ball, a former explosive-ordnance disposal technician for the U.S. Army who is now an analyst at Armament Research Services, a consulting firm, said that the footage showed two 250-pound precision-guided, American-manufactured aerial bombs. In the footage, it appeared that one of the bombs had failed to detonate after penetrating the building. A serial number was still visible on the warhead."

She doesn't need an excuse, since everyone critical of Israel is simply a Jew hater to her.

Oh, stop being silly.
The response of someone with no response.
Still waiting for an actual response to my other comments.
how is the slow response by israeli army to oct 7th investigation going ?
How’s the response of the world to rising anti-Jewish hate, false accusations of genocide, minimizing Hamas’ attempted genocide, etc., etc. going?

When will it stop??

Precision-guided bombs used during a "cease fire." Yep, Israel under Netanyahoo is a criminal state led by a criminal.
