"Dr Alaa al-Najjar, a paediatric specialist at al-Tahrir hospital within the Nasser Medical Complex, was treating victims of ongoing Israeli attacks across the strip on Friday when she was shocked to find her own children and husband brought into the hospital.

The children - the eldest aged 12 and the youngest just six months - were severely burned in the bombing."

      They’re waiting until they can throw up their hands and say it’s too late to intervene, before declaring that they never supported the genocide they supported.

        Too bad the citizens of my country didn’t fucking wait for the timeline they want and assumed could demand… and history will remember the worthless, genocidal war criminals that occupied the halls of power when those halls of power were being DIRECTED by normal every day voters in as clear as possible terms to stand the fuck down and stop the genocide of innocent Palestinians PERIOD… before it keeps spiralling into a much larger hell where there will be many more bodies of Palestinians, Jews and who knows who else will become the next target given the extremely precarious nature of geopolitics at this juncture and how conflicts evolve into larger and larger wars in ways that don’t interface with rationality.

        There are things worse than death, like spending the last 10 seconds of your life realizing that people will never forget your name as your are enveloped by a sense in the deepest fibers of your being that if there is an afterlife you aren’t going to the good part of it.
