Palestine Children’s Relief Fund: Israel Is Threatening to Bomb Gaza’s Only Pediatric Cancer Unit --- [video, 33 min + transcript] (www.democracynow.org)

As the U.N. secretary-general repeats his call for an immediate ceasefire, the death toll in Gaza has topped 10,000, including 4,000 children. We speak to an American doctor who just left Gaza and the founder of the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, which runs the only pediatric cancer unit in Gaza....

zerfuffle,

Have you considered that those children might be Hamas?

zerfuffle,

Germans are Hamas too, obviously.

It’s a fundamentally different problem here: it’s new infrastructure, which in this day and age is barely profitable in terms of first-order effects (fees, fares, etc.) but is significantly profitable in terms of second- and third-order effects (economic growth, new businesses, yada yada).

If you could build a new subway in New York, spend zero capital, but have to give up the fare revenue for that subway, why wouldn’t you?

Also, the India/US alternative is to… Just outright give the Indian Adani group a majority stake in their port expansion. So much better. So much. Truly.

zerfuffle,

Have you considered that the journalist might have been Hamas?

Just like that Reuters journalist that was killed. Just like that Al Jazeera journalist that was killed.

Odd. A lot of journalists are being killed. Maybe they’re all Hamas?

zerfuffle,

I’m sort of sad that you even had any doubts lol

zerfuffle,

Those Israelis must all be Hamas.

zerfuffle,

Israel really isn’t doing themselves any favours by partnering with Azerbaijan, which literally just did some good old fashioned ethnic cleansing.

How international law applies to war, and why Hamas and Israel are both alleged to have broken it (english.elpais.com)

The United Nations says it is collecting evidence of war crimes by both sides in the Israel-Hamas war, which began with the militant group’s brutal Oct. 7 cross-border attack and was followed by Israel’s relentless bombardment and a siege of Gaza.

zerfuffle,

International law doesn’t work too well when basically everyone ignores it.

Russia? Yep. The US? Yep. Ukraine? Yep. Israel? Yep. Palestine? Yep. China? Yep. Vietnam? Yep. Taiwan? Yep.

People are too attached to their profits and global trade to do anything.

Doctor at a Gaza hospital pleads for help: "We had to perform a premature delivery from a mother’s womb while she was dying.” --- [video, 2 min] (www.unfpa.org)

Dr. Nasser Bulbul, Head of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, spoke to the UN about the extreme suffering of pregnant women and orphaned infants living in a state of fear and terror as the bombardment intensifies.

zerfuffle,

The baby could have been Hamas, though, so clearly it’s justified.

UN condemns Israel: 'It’s the innocent civilians who are losing’ (news.un.org)

UN human rights office (OHCHR) spokesperson Liz Throssell highlighted concerns over Israeli airstrikes on Jabalia and Al Bureij refugee camps in recent days with dozens of residential buildings destroyed, as well as the high number of casualties reported in the enclave and the “reported use of explosive weapons with wide area...

zerfuffle,

I guess the UNHRC is also Hamas, huh?
