When Dr. Ebied showed a photo of himself holding “An entire bloody bullet that came out of a child’s brain,” a 6 y/o girl sitting in front of me pointed at the screen, “Look, Dad.”
Every day feels like a surrealist horror film. People should move heaven and earth to stop this.
“Just, uh, Subhanallah, a complete genocide.” — Dr. Ahmed Ebeid, an anesthesiologist just returned from a medical mission to north Gaza. He described picking up dead bodies that his UN convoy happened to drive by on the side of the road. We have no idea the scale of this thing.

“The end of cancer services in Gaza”
I have ALL leukemia & after a relapse scare this summer, I’m paranoid about missing any medication. The thought of thousands of cancer patients in Gaza sentenced to a slow death by the US/Israel eats me up inside. If not for an accident of birth it could be us in their shoes.

COGAT, Israeli agency responsible for aid and the *exclusive source* for Israel’s ICJ defense of humanitarian conditions to Haaretz yesterday: “There is no hunger in Gaza. There were stockpiles of food in Gaza. Don't forget that this is an Arab population whose DNA is to hoard.”
Breaking: Moments Israeli forces opened fire on Gazan civilians who took to the streets in search of food. Israel has reportedly killed at least three of them this afternoon.

Translation: If you expel 700,000 people from their land, all you have to do is hold it for 75 years and, viola, it's yours and you have no obligations to let even a fraction of them return, nor a duty to provide compensation.
Palestinians will never return to what is internationally recognized as Israeli territory. This fantasy, encouraged by supposed progressives in the west, is a factor in why this conflict is so hard to resolve. Build a better future for both peoples. Encourage compromise.

“Linda Thomas Greenfield, every time you raise your hand, you are sentencing a million children to death.”
Just repeat over and over until I’m dragged out of the room. At every one of her public engagements forever. Who’s with me?
After UN Ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield took the stage, the event was shut down as the audience began chanting ‘Free Palestine’

Imagine watching a video of a man in shock from losing his brother being “happy” thinking that he’s in heaven, and then responding by calling him a sociopath. No, Lee, major Hollywood writer and respected public figure, YOU’RE the sociopath in this equation.
Palestine is a sociopathic society
They’re human like us
But they’re raised from birth with their thoughts and feelings twisted by Islamic fundamentalism
They’re made more extreme than the most hardcore Nazi
They have become sociopathic death hunters

Preeminent Holocaust historian Raul Hilberg: "The ghetto was a captive city state in which territorial confinement was combined with absolute subjugation to German authority. Each ghetto was thrown into sudden isolation w/ a reliance on the outside world for basic sustenance."
this is part of the IHRA definition of contemporary examples of antisemitism

Staggering? Breakdown? Not really.
Soldier’s description to Ynet of 2002 WB raid: “I just destroyed & destroyed. I found joy with every house that came down, bc I knew they didn't mind dying but they cared for their homes. I’m sorry for not tearing the whole camp down...”

Today I am thinking of Dr. Yasser Abu Jamei, the director of the Gaza Community Mental Health Program, who lost 27(!!!!!) family members in a single Israeli air strike in 2014. He shook my hand and was nice enough to talk with me for a few minutes earlier this year.
A massive airstrike just hit the area where I live in central Gaza.

A CBC report documented an attempt by members of Canada’s medical residency selection board to blacklist 271 signatories to a ceasefire letter. This is a massive scandal and there is doubtless a U.S. equivalent.
When licensed doctors use their power to interfere with interviews of candidates standing against
#WarCrimes
and
#GenocideByIsrael
, those doctors should never have privilege of interviewing or teaching medical students or residents again.Sign survey

My grandmother is watching this shit (I know bc she called me to see if I was ok after the story ab the subway crash in New York). This is what’s dictating public opinion. The viewers of this are likely voters. This is why Biden feels so comfortable thinking voters won’t care.
