"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 get off on it. I’m not joking. I would share videos of it, but there are too many. The hatred is cultural and engrained in society.

    Quite possibly the worst thing I have read in a long time. The bounds of human cruelty are endless. Truly, we live in hell.

        “Think someone could spend half their life in a slam with a horse bit in their mouth and not believe? Think he could start out in some liquor store trash bin with an umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and not believe? Got it all wrong, holy man. I absolutely believe in God… And I absolutely hate the fucker.”

          Maybe scroll down just a little bit. It’s supposed to be retarded. Some of us are retarded enough to know better.

            I’m personally over the /s, if it’s not funny, it’s not funny. But I’ll never sideline my own joke just to give people a heads up, the two most important parts of comedy are timing, and the element of surprise. I’d rather get nuked in the comments.

              Except with text, crucial nuance required to convey sarcasm is missing. The /s is the textual representation of that missing non-verbal context.

          It is. I really do agreed with OP though, I’m pretty convinced this is hell. Look around a bit and it’s hard not to think that

              I’ve never even considered this. Checking it out now.

              I’ve always just assumed hell is each persons worst case scenario.

              Edit, agreed, but for slightly different reasons.

      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.

    In Gaza, it is not only healthcare workers who are targeted. Israel’s aggression goes further, wiping out entire families.” In addition, at least 111 civil defence workers have also been killed. On Thursday, the health ministry reported that at least 53,822 Palestinians - including 16,503 children - have been killed in ongoing Israeli attacks across the blockaded Strip. Among the children killed, 916 were under one year old; 4,365 were aged one to five; 6,101 were between six and 12; and 5,124 were aged 13 to 17. According to the health ministry and the civil defence, thousands more remain missing and are presumed dead beneath the rubble.
