We held a virtual encounter with Al-Farra and his patients this past Monday via a video call. In the past few weeks, we’ve sought to document what starvation looks like in Gaza, to witness the gravity of the situation with our own eyes. Israel doesn’t allow journalists into the Strip, but via video we’ve been able to conduct real-time, online tours of hospitals and clinics.

For this article we conducted four such tours, in different places, and conducted separate conversations with another 12 doctors, 10 of them volunteers from the United States and Britain, who are currently in the Gaza Strip or were there recently. What we saw there left no room for doubt about the scale of the horror.

    These children specifically were responsible for the kidnappings. /s

    Denying them food until they die is the only way to achieve justice for Israel. /s

      Nothing to do with ‘justice’. Israel’s actions here are abhorrent and they are responsible for what they’ve done as are the Americans for supporting them. But what they are doing it for is to get rid of Hamas because Hamas continues to attack them. If Hamas fully surrendered, this would stop.

        For fascists, the constant state of conflict is the goal. In Netanyahu’s case this is doubly true, because he could end up in prison if his government collapses.

          So if Hamas unconditionally surrendered and all the hostages were returned, you think Isreal would continue to attack and starve Gaza? They simply couldn’t - that would actually lose support from the U.S. if that happened.

                We’re at the point where Israel consistently calls everyone in the area hamas, or anyone opposing them. Even if hamas did surrender like that they’d continue because well not all of them laid down their arms, that baby was being trained to shoot us

                This entire thread you’re entire argument is just

                people who have been starved, oppressed and ethnicly cleansed should just surrender to those doing it to them
