@EasterIssland

Having seen a clip of Clinton speaking recently in Michigan, I think he's lost it. 30 years ago he might have been an astute politician, but he no longer is.

On the other hand, if you want to see how an old man can behave, watch this clip of Bernie Sanders. He's Brill !

Absolutely horrendous scenes in Gaza today. Shocking and disgraceful.

This is the reality of what Israel is doing (part 5)

Remember him crying over Rwanda and his failures with regard to that genocide. Stupid bastard has clearly learned nothing.

I saw a video on X of an emaciated baby. It's absolutely horrifying. Every single person responsible will burn in hell.

RTE news : Everyone in north Gaza at 'imminent risk' of death - UN

http://www.rte.ie/news/middle-east/2024/1101/1478583-gaza-israel-un/

Shocking. I can't comprehend how this is allowed to continue relatively unchecked. Oh I'm sure lessons will be learnt but that is of no comfort to those trying to survive in North Gaza

Thanks for posting. That is absolutely shocking stuff. Essentially no food has entered the north of Gaza in a month. People are starving. No one is doing anything to stop Israel.

I've seen so many dead Palestinian babies on social media in the last few days. It's horrifying.

Samantha Power is a disgrace, by the way. I can't believe how low she's sunk.

The situation in northern Gaza is "apocalyptic" as Israel pursues a military offensive against Hamas militants in the area, top United Nations officials has warned.

I was replying to a comment you’ve done as you don’t specify what you found disgusting. Whether it was the rapes itself or that testimonies from Palestinians of sexual assaults by IDF soldiers were played at the UN and I understood it was the latter so wanted to understand the reason behind it.

Why on earth would you understand it to be the latter. What a strange jump. Ridiculous. AGAIN rapes of anyone are disgusting. Is that clear enough!

As I said I'll hide threads, it feels like purposeful misunderstanding. Thank goodness everyone doesn't do that.

Seriously! This is whats wrong with these threads. Obviously rapes are disgusting but someone has to find a way of misinterpreting. Why do certain posters always do this.

For the hard of understanding rapes of anyone are disgusting. I think I won't bother, I'll do what lots do and avoid these threads and leave the usual suspects to moan away.

I think it was just a question to clarify. Sadly, there have been cases in which the outrage has been at something being shown, rather than at the thing that is being shown. I remember an example elsewhere in which there were negative views expressed about footage of violence on October 7th, and it was so sad to see people more outraged by the footage being shared than about the actual horrific things being shown.

There are no words 😢 Im running out of ways to express my sadness at what all the children in Gaza are being subjected to.

The scars for these children will effect them for the rest of their lives. To witness and experience such trauma at such a young age will effect their overall physical and mental health. A lot is now known about childhood trauma and the impacts of adverse childhood experiences without the protective factors such as safety. A loving nurturing family is so important to counteract the impact, good to see she has that.

This is an interesting and depressing article about the radicalization of the IDF.
"In 2016, two Palestinian attackers stabbed a soldier, wounding him. The Palestinians were shot. One of them was killed—the other one was neutralized, laying on the ground. Minutes later, a military medic called Elor Azaria arrived and he shot one bullet into the head of the Palestinian—basically executed him. And it was all filmed by a Palestinian activist who was living nearby. .."

'Medic' doesn't seem the most appropriate job description there... We're really not supposed to go around shooting potential patients in the head.

IDF chief says the war has run its course. It's behind a paywall so I can't access the whole article.

Just listening to another horrific account from a health care professional just out of Gaza on the radio. I am sick of these poor traumatised doctors having to do this when they leave Gaza knowing they are among the only ones bearing witness to it. They should never be put in that position. It is long past the time to let independent journalists and observers in.

Lalaloveya · 29/10/2024 11:48

It's genocide. We've seen it before. I can't believe we're watching it happen again. We're standing by and allowing it. Actually, we are helping them. It's beyond belief.
