English surgeon reporting that people waiting for food have been deliberately targeted by the IDF in specific body parts on different days.

He said young boys arriving at hospital all with gunshot wounds to their testicles on one day, neck another.

He is a British surgeon saying civilians are deliberately targeted. Premature babies starving to death.

How can anyone support this? Why isn’t the U.K. doing anything?

It's utterly appalling.

RipePeach · 18/07/2025 07:48

I just heard this too. It’s absolutely horrifying. I knew the situation was bad but had no idea it was this awful. Those poor kids just trying to get food to feed their starving families and those mothers and pregnant women being targeted. I am at a loss for words and feel so powerless.

Lucycantdance · 18/07/2025 07:54

That’s exactly how I feel.

It's what happens when you dehumanise people. These are children being used for target practice. People are being starved and there are plans to herd them into a mass concentration camp. As we mark the anniversary of Srebrenica, we have to wonder at man's inhumanity to man.

No one can say they don't know what's happening now. It's genocide pure and simple and our government is blatantly supporting it. The msm can't keep shouting 'Oct 7th' and 'antisemitism' the moment anyone say this is an atrocity. It is.

I heard this too, surely no one can deny that starving children are being deliberately shot? Boys shot in the head one day, abdomen the next and then testes. Like it's a game. Details of the horrific bomb blast injuries, then how people do not have the right nutrition to recover following major surgery. What will it take for politicians to stop supporting this?

Lucycantdance · 18/07/2025 08:05

I don’t know but I’m absolutely sickened. And enraged

The question is why are we not aware of how horrific the situation is? I read the other day of over 20 people killed in a crush while getting food. I didn't read one word in the mainstream press. Why?

FineandDandie · 18/07/2025 08:20

Also listened to this. Absolutely sickening and upsetting and depressing. I don't understand why the world isn't outraged.

How that surgeon (and all the health workers ) hold it together ,I dont know .
I'm so horribly ashamed to be living in England with a gov that it sending parts to Israel enabling them to continue .
And that declares people who spray paint on airplanes as terrorists.
I've been on a few marches ,but feel that they are pointless and for many just a way of managing their emotions .

I don't understand this either .Is it in part due to reporters being banned in Gaza ?

Confiscating baby formula at the border from incoming workers .
What can be done ?

Those Israeli soldiers are treating those poor children as badly as the Nazis’ treated Jews during the holocaust. They’ve dehumanised them.
Why don’t they see the parallels, something is seriously wrong with their thinking.

Tootingbec · 18/07/2025 08:58

I heard this as well. Made me stop what I was doing and listen. Cried a little. Those poor children and babies. There is literally no reason for targeting children and babies - this and starving populations are war crimes and actions completely disproportionate to what happened to Israel by the Hamas attacks. All I can hope is that political and military forces within Israel are equally horrified and are able to stop this.

This is how I feel. I don't understand why the world is standing by and watching it happen.
