Baby denied treatment, my heart just broke 💔

[ReelTears]

I struggled to get to the end of this article. We're hearing so much about the plight of the poor Ukrainians at the moment, there are peoples who are also struggling just to physically access basic necessities. I can't imagine watching my baby die because the people enforcing apartheid (as stated by the United Nations) won't give me permission to travel to a hospital where she could be treated. I am heartbroken for this poor little girl and her parents, why aren't we protesting at her treatment, and the similar incidents mentioned here?

Apparently it doesnt matter when it affects those browny people 🙄🤬

Because if you criticise the Israeli regime you’re branded anti-Semitic and told you don’t understand. There are charities providing medical care in Palestine (MAP etc) but it’s limited.

Absolutely this. Shocking that there is so little fuss made.

And thank you for posting that, OP, I would not have seen it otherwise.

This.

That's so tragic. Heartbreaking all round ☹️

Shocking. No matter what “side” people are on in something like this no child deserves to die for the want of medical treatment. Poor little mite

Yep

This needs to be said regularly and loudly because it is 100% truth.

Always wary reading anything that involves Palestine/Israel

I always see this line that "you can't criticise Israel without being called antisemitic on Mumsnet" when I've been on here several years and never seen legitimate criticism called antisemitic at all. Yes, it's heartbreaking. Israel is a shitty regime. But if Mumsnet is so pro Israel then why haven't I seen any mention on here off five people killed there a couple of days ago? www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-60902330.amp

This!

*of.
And yes obviously people will say the balance of deaths isn't the same - which I agree with! But for a supposedly rabidly pro Israel site, the first reaction to anything involving Israel is "and-those-Jews-will-cry-racism"

Very wise - and doubly so with sources like the Guardian, Mail, etc.

It's obviously deeply sad that a little girl died; however I'd want more information from a reputable source before drawing conclusions

That's terrible, I feel heartbroken for the family. What can we do?

There is often more to the story.

I’m so sad to read of this-So callous and inhumane.

Poor Baby Fatima☪️ 🇵🇸

For clarity - Israel is not the only country blockading Gaza.

Why throw brickbats at Israel when Egypt is taking the same action?

Poor baby💔 just inhumane, regardless of which side you’re on.

Yep absolutely this! But we won’t be believed because apparently that just doesn’t happen 🙄

Agreed

Why throw brickbats at Israel when Egypt is taking the same action?

Are you really trying to minimise Israel’s responsibility for what happens in Palestine?

Seems she is. I despair.
