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."
@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.
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.
@Moderation4win @luckytran I take it you didn’t read the article
@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!
