  1. At this moment I am thinking of Palestinian orthopaedic surgeon Adnan Al-Bursh who was taken hostage from the hospital by the IDF and tortured to death in captivity. And I am thinking of little angel Hind Rajab, who called for help, but was shot by Israelis in a tank as an approved ambulance was coming to rescue her. Her rescuers were illegally massacred, too. 355 bullets were found in the car Hind Rajab was hiding in, among her dead relatives, in the cold, dark night.

  2. But Clarissa, the Israeli government isn't doing anything at all to set up a system to search the trucks. Searching trucks isn't complex, and the Israelis have the manpower to do it. No- they are just withholding the aid, and presenting empty excuses for doing so.

  4. It is actually a Utility Tunnel common beneath many large hospitals, especially where the water table is high. Al Shifa Hospital is only 500 metres from the Mediterranean Sea coast.

  5. And they call Hamas "terrorists"!

  6.  @bobwoods1302  This much fire is NOT A GOOD THING; and it is happening almost every year now. Don't try to normalise this. This is the effects of climate change, and the massive heatwaves and dryness resulting from it.

  7. As someone else commented, this is a press release, not an interview.

  8. Well, well... this looks like a good cover story for Putin to pull out of Bakhmut while saving face; this way, it doesn't look like he's conceding defeat, nor does it look like it's his own fault, nor the soldier's inferiority, rather, he can make it appear to be internecine conflict between Shoigu and Prigozhin.

  9.  @DavidSchreiner-cc5zq  Your deflection proves he made a good point.

  10. It worries me that Nic Robertson said there was such a smell of rotten flesh near the destroyed, deserted hospital. All we have is the IDF's word that they "helped evacuate patients" to another location. Yet note he failed to say where, so anyone could find said patients and verify that... What we DID see is a hospital blasted to bits, and a carefully guided tour for ONE witness, near nightfall, and a few shots purported to be a "battle" in the vicinity - so time and vision was limited. It seemed stage managed to me.

  11. Ask the Israelis who have thousands of Palestinian hostages in illegal "administrative detention" which is illegal under International Law.

  12. I'm so overjoyed for them! Free Palestine!

  13.  @bobwoods1302  I read you perfectly well - you were minimising and normalising the situation.

  14. What evil men run that place. The women (and the men that love them) should never give up, no matter what until the tyrants realise their tyranny is OVER FOREVER. Courage, brave women! Courage! Nika is a heroine, and they are nothing but thugs and murderers.

  15. Awww... I thought he was going to be arrested today! How long do we have to wait? I can't wait until I see him break into his trademark invective at the judge after he realises that pleading the Fifth won't protect him in the end.

  16. The British Channel 4 investigation (by major experts in their fields) was way more in depth than this opinion piece. It proved that the crater came from a mid-air exploding missile that came from the direction of Israel, also that the voice recording the IDF posted was actually from 2 different channels and edited together on an AI platform to make it look like a conversation. Furthermore, the IDF actually initially claimed responsibility for the strike, but then removed their post from X (Twitter). Lastly, Doppler sound analysis proved the missile came from the direction of Israel, NOT from the direction the IDF claimed it came from. CNN would be able to do an equally in-depth analysis if they were interested in the truth, instead of COVERING UP THE TRUTH.

  18. You are totally uninformed of historical, recent and current actions of the Israeli State if you think that Israel was "peaceful" towards Palestinians.

  19. They always go in in darkness, and "We weren't allowed to enter the tunnel." Why? Because it is just a Utility tunnel like that under most hospitals. Utility tunnels are often built where the water table is too high to safely bury utilities: Al Shifa is only 500 metres from the Mediterranean Sea.

  21. Don't be ridiculous. Children don't worship the concept of martyrdom. What a despicable suggestion.

  22.  @ChrisMusumeci-fu8ig  No, as an Aussie who is has traveled widely, I can confidently say that the world laughs at the foolishness of Trump and his followers.

  23. Tell us about the shooting for hours outside Al Shifa Hospital, where all the refugees were camped! Tell us about how the IDF tried to get the head of the hospital to come down alone (one of the few people known to the outside world such as the WHO, that could be a witness to what is is happening at the hospital)! Tell us about how the IDF marched all males over 16 out of the hospital at gunpoint, ordered then to strip naked (of all identifying marks) and to sit in the exterior courtyard (for what?) Tell us about the awful atrocities the IDF is committing in Al Shifa right NOW ! Do Your Job!

  24.  @WinstonSmith24  You must like your representative coming from a different state. You must also like your representatives having such bad family values that they repeatedly abandon their children.

  25. If YOU lived under oppression by a State that constantly robbed you of your homes at gunpoint, flagrantly breaking international law; if YOUR neighbourhood was fenced in by razor wire, and checkpoints with armed guards were put up all over your neighbourhood. If YOUR children were taken and imprisoned by the oppressor, if the oppressors came regularly with batons and guns and beat you when you were holding a funeral for your loved ones that the oppressors had shot, if YOU were always hungry because they blockaded food into your state, if they sprayed sewage onto you from water cannons if you ever protested their treatment of you. If they dropped bombs on the homeless in refugee camps, if they deliberately held up ambulances with wounded people they had shot on the way to hospital - if the oppressors did all that, and worse to YOU - do you think YOU would have a right to attack them? I'm just wondering....

  26.  @jerryherrin458  😂Palestinians in "administrative detention" are imprisoned without any trial or legal representation, or if they do get a trial at all, it is in a military court, without recourse to representation. They are also refused any visits from family. There are children who have been held without trial for YEARS and have never been allowed a visit from their family! You are speaking nonsense.

  33. I remember how even ten years ago I conceived of the US as a civil society.

  34.  kissmyaxe531  Actually, you need to do your research. That commenter was right. Food inflation is rampant in Australia, the EU, the Uk and Africa. The inflation IS lowest in the US.

  35.  @MarlaofTheNorth  Photoshop Trump's mugshot green, and he'd pass as the Grinch😂.

  36. According to the Genocide Convention (of which Israel is a signatory), "no State or individual shall be permitted to justify genocide in the name of self-defence."

  39.  @noa-wu9sn  Cite where you saw the pictures. Was it a photo of him holding it in his hand as he lay dead on the ground? I saw footage of him there. Original footage. He wasn't holding any documents, liar.

  42.  @UncensoredCowboy  50% of Gaza are under 18, 45% are under 15. They are victims, NOT collaborators! To declare otherwise is MONSTROUS.

  46. I have known a few people who died from pharmaceutical "treatments" of anxiety and depression. One was a close family member. That's why I personally feel it's preferable to try and deal with it with exercise and plenty of sleep and water. Emotional suffering is part of the human condition, there's no escaping it. I'm speaking from personal experience. Rest in Peace, Mathew Perry.

  47.  @williamsnike452  Yes, he did have to "toss that part in," because people with brains recognise that climate change is the biggest threat to our lives and civilisation that humanity has EVER faced!

  48.  @aigaoliveira3278  The US gives Gaza a minute fraction of the amount of funding that it doles out to Israelis for free, even when Israelis have one of the highest incomes in the world, per person.
