As the official death toll in Gaza passes more than 42,400, the true number may be impossible to know until Israel’s war is over. But medical workers who witnessed the carnage in Gaza’s hospitals are speaking out. We speak with Dr. Feroze Sidhwa about his op-ed in The New York Times that features harrowing stories from dozens of healthcare workers and CT scans of children shot in the head or the left side of the chest.
The Times called the corresponding images of the patients too graphic to publish. “I personally wish that Americans could see more of what it looks like when a child is shot in the head, when a child is flayed open by bombs,” says Sidhwa. “I think it would make us think a little bit more about what we do in the world.”
We also speak with Palestinian nurse Rajaa Musleh, who worked at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. “I will never forget the dogs were eating the dead body inside Shifa Hospital at the front of the emergency department.
This will be stuck on my mind for my whole life,” says Musleh. “My message for the whole world: We are human beings. We are not numbers. We have the right to receive healthcare inside Gaza.”
Most moral army on earth. No one has ever done so much to prevent civilian casualties.
Zios gotta bomb more hospitals so this evidence doesn’t get out.
(I’m being sarcastic ofc but they’re not.)
This is crazy. But its especially crazy that they’re doing child headshots from sniper drones.
I repeat “Sniper Drones”. Let that sink in.

“democracy dies in darkness”, yet there is seemingly no journalists with any integrity, capable of showing the world the reality of the war machine. “Out of sight, out of mind” enables war and genocide.
Maybe because the IDF has a cute little habit of straight up murdering journalists
Never before in human history have such heinous war crimes been so thoroughly documented.
And the world stands by and does nothing.
Tbf, anyone who tried would be liberated back into the stone ages. They’d be liberated so hard, their great-grandchildren will still be hurting from it.
Ireland and South Africa have already done great work, and nobody is going to invade them
Probably a quarter of the countries at the UN have done something. Hell, like 20 countries at the UN don’t even recognize Israel as a State
The problem is that the US blocks everything with veto power. This is why the ICJ case for genocide is so important; the US can’t veto in the ICJ, and even the judges at the ICJ are independent. They don’t represent the US
Its great work and I’m not looking to take anything away from them but I meant more direct action than Ireland, South Africa or anyone else is comfortable doing, with what America would do to them if they did.
I mean like, as in if their neighbours try to stop their neighbours from being killed.
Of course, where else would you shoot someone after you’ve already captured them and made sure they weren’t a threat? Honestly it’s almost wholesome that they’re offering the children a clean death, I’m sure many of the Israeli soldiers would prefer to do much worse. The war crimes they’ve gleefully filmed themselves committing have shown me that the IDF is made entirely of fucking animals.
Neoptism is the reason for this. Even if a politician wanted to end this, nobody can say so upfront and outright. All of the people installed that have ties to Israel will not allow it to happen. Religions and groups the world over pull this shit, from Scientologists, to Christians, to Judaists. Democrats and Republicans literally fight over who can suck Israel’s cock the hardest. And now, Israel is committing genocide - and it’s not that nobody cares - it’s that our governments are packed with so many people who have a direct benefit in it happening that nobody can speak up without being silenced.
It’s not even surprising that Israel is doing this, they’ve been saying they wanted to for decades now.
I think you mean Cronyism, which unlike Nepotism isn’t limited to family.
Looking at my own country, which has a massive culture of Cronyism, some years ago I concluded that Corruption is really just Cronyism in exchange for money hence why it’s so easy for it to develop in countries with a culture of friends using the power and money entrusted to them by others to help their friends.
It seems to me this also applies to the US were “campaign contributions” facilitate the buying of active politicians in a way which is not legally treated as Corruption, just things like the “speech circuit”, non-executive board memberships, funding of foundations and gold-plated “consultancy” are used to reward “friendly” policians after they retire from Politics in ways that completely obscure any Qui Pro Quo involved hence do get treated as Corruption even when they most definitelly are that (i.e. when a politician has explicitly agreed to use their power in a specific way when given a overt promise of such a reward at a later stage).
Want to see who politicians benefit, start by looking at whose parties they go to and which people do they socialize with.
Neoptism isn’t limited to family. Nepotism is defined as: the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs.
You’re right.
I checked the dictionary definitions and the words have indeed a somewhat different meaning than I thought, including in the detail that Nepotism is familiy and friends whilst Cronyism is only friends.
So thanks for that correction!
Which people are you talking about? There aren’t any elected officials in the USA that are nepo hires. By definition.
Most government isn’t elected. We elect a representative, and they have a lot of positions that they place.
And our elections are filled to the brim with lobbying (legal bribery), etc.
Even elections are nepotism half the time. Look at MTG – There’s no way she would have had a chance without the backers that she had. She was placed on an elevated platform in order to get that position - yet she’s elected.
Meanwhile, you’ll hear her call Democrats antisemites, while she is in the same breath shouting about jewish space lasers.
Elections are a great way to give the illusion of choice, in order to keep the population apathetic.
At a certain point, each and every one of those politicians and likely their families too, unfortunately for all of them, are going to be swallowed whole by the collective response.
Here’s hoping that if any of them make it to old age they get tried like the nazi-esque war criminals that they are.
Kissinger died free.
The world sucks.

Quite messed up of Israel.
It’s fucked up actually, backed by the US, state of freedom.
