"Five kids in the pediatric [Shifa Hospital] ICU left alone in Rantisi Hospital, and we don’t know what’s going on with them. The communications were lost, so they might be dead or alive," one of the doctors said.

"So, now in Shifa Hospital, they cannot deal with the dead bodies. There is a tent of dead bodies back in the hospital.”

And teach your children to hate the enemy as soon as they comprehend language. Don't forget that. That part is crucial.

I think Israel is doing that just fine themselves by dropping bombs around the children and killing their families.

Well, yes. Palestinians have lived under the bootheels of the Israelis for a bit.

Israel is teaching these children hate, no one else.

Israel is clearly a bad actor here. Both sides committed war crimes and this is a generational hatred on both sides. Hatred exists on both sides too. I'm not a fan of either side because I'm not a fan of generational hatred.

At the same time, being able to hold to opinions at once, I believe that Israel has been allowed to run roughshod over the Palestinian people and that imbalance of power is injustice beyond what I personally can imagine.

That said, the US should've stopped Israel. That's bullshit. Apparently the US government can't find money for education, roads, or health care but there's no problem killing Palestinian kids.

Really lays bare the priorities. It's disgusting, appaling... Actually, no I don't have words for but it is.
