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.

    If only the colonists would just leave Palestine and go back to Ukraine and Long Island.

      Yes that would stop it too. But there’s not much likelihood of that. Whereas Hamas is clearly not having any success, and prolonging this war is only causing such terrible misery. And yes that’s because the Israelis don’t care about the misery of the people of Gaza, they only care about defeating Hamas. There’s a lot of evil. But if Hanas fully surrendered, this would stop immediately. And they have nothing to gain by keeping us going.

        You’ve fallen for Zionist propaganda. You have to read what they say in Hebrew, not English.

        They are quite explicit that they want everyone in Gaza gone, a lot of them want them all dead. Hamas and the hostages is just the cover story for Western corporate media to gaslight the public.

        Netanyahu’s has explicitly stated it is the goal of his generation to deny Palestinian statehood.

        Hamas should turn themselves over the ICJ, they won’t, but this would not stop Israel. Right-wing groups want their opposing counterparts to exist so they have an excuse to commit more atrocities later. Hamas wants nothing more for everyone in Gaza to die so they can have two million martyrs. Israel’s far right government wanted a pretext to carry out this genocide. It’s undoubtedly part of why Netanyahu help found Hamas. Which has been known publicly since 2019. edit: typo

            Israel as a zionist Jewish ethno-state must be replaced with a multi-ethnic pluralistic state. Part of accomplishing that requires Netanyahu’s governing coalition collapse. A great way to accomplish that would be to send Israel’s government to the Hague.

              The solution is the death of the zionist ideology that is still popular in israel. Every single goddamn prime of isrsel is a war criminal. The other part is western countries sanctionning israel cuba style
