Are we really just going to just let this happen. I was upset about the protest ban in France but at least he has finally spoken up. When is the UK going to finally say something and stop letting this happen in our name.

This is the moment we have been warning the whole world the Gaza Deputy Health Minister Dr. Youssef Abu Alreesh, currently inside al-Shifa Hospital as it is takes heavy fire from Israeli forces.
Here are his translated comments:

  • This is the moment we have been warning the whole world of, all generators are off, all power sources are out.
  • We have 39 newborns in the incubators, those babies are fighting against death.
  • No one is able to move around the compound, snipers are stationed all over the place in addition to the drones that target and kill any moving person.
  • A few minutes ago one of the engineering team was hit by a sniper, he was hit in the neck and was paralysed and he’s now about to die.
  • Part of the hospital was shelled and part of the building caught fire, we fear it will engulf the whole compound.
  • A few families tried to leave but they were targeted; now they are lying dead outside the hospital. We cannot get to them.
  • We are totally stranded, we are cut off from the outside world, and above all, we are left without any medical resources. We cannot even bury the dead.
  • Ferocious gunfire can be heard within the vicinity of the hospital, the intensive care unit received a mortar shell a few minutes ago.
  • Blood is everywhere, on the floor, we cannot even clean it.
  • In the past, the Israeli killing machine was killing and this was conveyed on TV screens. Now they are perpetrating the same killing but no one is listening, no one is watching, the whole world is standing by.
  • We are speaking with whatever is left of my phone battery, after that, we will be silent.

Oh but it’s okay because ‘Hamas’. In any other reality people would be mortified shocked seeing soldiers with guns in a civilian hospital where there has been no evidence of shooting from the site shared but in this case it’s fine for 2 reasons.

They have already convinced western politicians that these aren’t actually humans, just numbers and statistics.

Then of course because ‘Hamas’. I wouldn’t be surprised if because Hamas is the new excuse for any government to do anything now. Maybe if Suella had led with ‘because Hamas’ for her Rwanda refugees policy she would have probably have been successful.

So Trudeau has also finally said something but not sure why but it sounds more like a criticism of Israeli PR. Ie the whole world is watching, you need to be more subtle with the genocide

Canadian PM Trudeau tells Israel killing of babies in Gaza must end

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday said the "killing of women, of children, of babies" in the besieged Gaza Strip must end, in his sharpest criticism of Israel since war against Hamas broke out over a month ago.

SNP have tabled a ceasefire vote for parliament today. Pray our elected representatives find their conscience and stand up for humanity and international law.

Parkingt111 · 15/11/2023 11:21

@notsoready4school Justin is as spineless as they come. I read what he said and it did sound like 'well everyone is upset because they can SEE what is happening'
No wonder so many journalists in Gaza have been killed by the IDF. There's only a handful left who at this point must be extremely fearful of their lives

notsoready4school · 15/11/2023 11:37

This Dr was at that hospital for 16 years, no evidence ever of Hamas wondering around and even if there was, even if!

I liked what he has said so clearly about the culpability through complicity by the European and US government.

I am just waiting for the inevitable doctored images by IDF that will first make headlines and be widely circulated by Israel and their bots to them only quietly be dismissed as fake. Of course Biden can then pipe up he has ‘seen these weapons and command centre with his own eyes’ to then quietly be confirmed that was something else.

After such a build up there is no way out of this for IDF but to circulate fakes

100% this

@notsoready4school what do they need to show you if there are tunnels? If you won't accept pictures and film of tunnels? Luckily the worlds intelligence doesn't have to be run past you and other conspiracy theorists.

I would have thought independent verification would be a start, but that’s never going to happen as they are very choosy with their reporters.

Absolutely.
If they were so sure of clear evidence they should have allowed independent verification. Why wouldn’t you, especially as they are losing support.

Hamas and others suggested this but Israel declined.
With their past history of falsifying information ( see Queens Uni professor report etc ) why would anyone believe anything that only comes from the IDF / Israel.

They are still expelling reporters having just today sort the removal of an Al Jazeera reporter living opposite the hospital after he reported on what was happening

So, they had an independent witness right there. Opposite the hospital. They knew where he was, no long wait for some UN official to turn up. But instead of inviting him in to witness the actions of the IDF they asked him to leave. That seems the actions of someone who wants to hide something.

There are miles of tunnels under Gaza. No doubt given the size of the hospital there will be a tunnel going somewhere from underground. Just like we have underground trains. Unless there is some connection to the hospital, access from hospital grounds, firearms, ‘command’ centre (a wall with a calendar?) this is just another Israeli gaslighting and the western world will nod along whilst the normal people can see this is wrong as clear as day.

But yes, let them plant some of those ridiculous firearms themselves and take a picture and that will be that. But HAMAS!

When did "all staff" say they have always known that? Many foreign doctors, aid agencies and NGOs involved IN the hospital have maintained they have never seen Hamas activity. Dr Mads Gilbert said today he's so sick of this claim. Israeli snipers are shooting into the intensive care unit through the windows. A nurse trying to tend to the babies was shot dead. Where are Hamas?

Feral Underclass, would you like to provide more evidence for your claim that Israeli snipers are targeting ICU nurses? I have been looking for reports of that all day but all I have seen is this from the BBC:

"Muhammad Zaqout, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry's director of hospitals, has also given an account of how the raid played out.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, he said "not a single bullet" had been fired - because "there are no resistors or detainees" inside."

The people who are dubious of the "Hamas are using the hospital as a base" claims, from an army that repeatedly lies and often has to be forced to admit it and apologise, are the conspiracy theorists here?!

@ChickHenLittle I asked a specific question as to what you what need to convince you?

Towerofsong · 15/11/2023 18:29

I see. So he was reporting information that he had been fed? He is also a politician for a far left Marxist party in Norway.

It's just so strange because his report was 3 days ago, so on Sunday, and on Sunday I was watching ITV news who had a neurosurgeon on the phone, Dr Marwan Abusada. He is the one who sent the pic of the babies on a bed to Mads Gilbert. He said that they could hear gunshots from outside the compound (it's a 22 acre site) but not within the hospital, that there was no firing in the hospital. And he also sounded very calm and relaxed, which is very strange given the situation you describe that snipers were aiming through hospital windows? And that nowhere else reported the IDF entering the actual compound until today?

Something like a nurse being deliberately shot at during the course of their work, you would think would be reported more widely, no?

Since when does an Al Jazeera reporter count as an independent witness?! 😂 You'd soon cry foul if an Israel HaYom reporter was listed as an independent witness!

Towerofsong · 15/11/2023 19:58

Today, a BBC presenter said that Reuters said that the IDF were targeting people in the hospital including medical teams as well as Arab speakers.
What Reuters actually said was that the IDF had medical teams and Arab speakers accompanying them into the hospital.

The BBC has now apologised.

What has happened is bad enough, without people stirring up more hatred by reporting things that didn't even happen.
That is just irresponsible.

He’s a lot better than nothing.
Its not like Israel were prepared to wait for the UN….it had been suggested!
He was there right opposite the hospital.
What’s wrong with allowing the camera in following the IDF as it happens.

Stomacharmeleon · 15/11/2023 20:20

@FourCandlesNotForkHandles surely if you are going to ask for independent verification they need to be independent. Both sides have to believe they are being listened too.

No one has to speak.
Camera follows them around.

@FourCandlesNotForkHandles yes because journalists are renowned for 'not speaking'. He wouldn't be independent so it wouldn't be better than nothing.

I assume they had their reasons, I mean it would be in their favour to allow that so there must be a good reason they didn't.

Examples: when they entered they could have been ambushed.

Then if he was injured in cross fire they would be criticised for the death of an independent reporter.

Maybe they know something about him that made him not the right person.

Maybe they don't want other people telling them how to do their job.

And it doesn't matter what evidence they provide, the haters will still say it was made up of planted. Even if he'd gone in with them, people would say they edited his footage or they had snuck in and planted the evidence beforehand or something.
