"Another Round of Senseless Mass Killing": Report from Gaza Hospital as Israeli Strikes Kill 400+



Israel has shattered the Gaza ceasefire agreement with Hamas, launching a massive wave of airstrikes overnight that killed hundreds of people across the Palestinian territory and wounded many others. The surprise attacks came amid stalled talks on how to extend the ceasefire signed in January, though Israel has signaled for weeks that it wanted to resume the war on Gaza. Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, an American trauma surgeon volunteering at Nasser Hospital, describes some of the horrific injuries he has treated, and says it’s “heartbreaking” for Palestinians to suffer more bloodshed. “It’s all because we provide the funding, the diplomatic, the economic and the military support. And we don’t have to,” he tells Democracy Now! “We didn’t have to under Biden. We certainly don’t have to under Trump.”

5. If they are smart (which most are) they are in hiding. A big difference

between a POTUS that abides by the law and one that ignores the law and will basically "disappear" someone if they protest - especially those that are not US citizens.

Sadly, the Israeli genocide being committed in Gaza is basically not even on the radar any more since all of our attention is now being focused on making sure Russia gets what they want in Ukraine. It is pretty much accepted now that Palestinians are expendable as far as US policy is concerned.

IMO, just two more stains on our history of terrible foreign policy. Which, as usual, the American public endorses for the most part.

He continues his ethnic cleansing. Where are all the posters who usually back Netanyahu's actions? They're usually all over there Gaza war threads. Not a peep from them now.
