Los Angeles Times: "I’m an American doctor who went to Gaza. I have worked in other war zones. But what I witnessed in Gaza was not war — it was annihilation."

"I stopped keeping track of how many new orphans I had operated on. After surgery they would be filed somewhere in the hospital, I’m unsure of who will take care of them or how they will survive."

Los Angeles Times · Opinion: I'm an American doctor who went to Gaza. I saw annihilation, not warBy Irfan Galaria

@luckytran It's sad what is happening to Gazans.

This is the consequence of starting a war, and making no civilian preparations. Indeed, in WW1/2 the allied expressly targeted the civilian population through blockades/bombing.

Given Palestinians/Hamas want to eradicate Israel, how would you suggest Israel bargains with them? Israel agrees to its "deletion" as a country?

As a gay atheist who would be killed in Palestine, what argument would u make to persuade me Palestine's cause has merit?

@Moderation4win @luckytran Speaking as a German, in WWII, the only side expressly and intentionally targeting children in addition to adults was…us. And I thought we all agreed that we were the ultimate horrifying example NOT to follow, never again. It is therefore mind-boggling to see Israelis, of all people, doing to others what we did to so many of their relatives.

@spongefile @luckytran

The bombing of Dresden did not distinguish between civilians, nor Toyko, Hiroshima etc. This is bizarre historical revision.

Nor did the UK provide Germany with foodaid - it employed a blockade in both wars

@Moderation4win @luckytran I said speaking as a German. Us. The Nazis. We totally did things like shoot little kids in the head on purpose.

@spongefile @luckytran Israel is obviously not going out of its way to kill children. If it wanted to, it could have wiped out all of Gaza in a few days. It's taking more steps to avoid civilians than US did v Japan. Based on historical precedent, the IDF is arguably the most moral army in history.

The point is Hamas is making arousing western sympathy - i.e., people like you -as part of their strategy, and deliberately using their population as human shields while hiding like cockcroaches.

@luckytran Such an important testament, and an indictment of Israel.

@luckytran ... diese Art von Erniedrigung schafft nur eine Rechtsradikale Regierung - egal wo auf der Welt!
