US and UK doctors in Washington to warn of IDF’s ‘appalling atrocities’ in Gaza

The doctors ... warn that pledges of increased aid to Palestinians under bombardment are largely meaningless without an immediate ceasefire to allow safe distribution of food and the revival of healthcare services.

“The IDF are systematically targeting healthcare facilities, healthcare personnel and really dismantling the whole healthcare system,” he said.

“It’s not just about targeting the buildings, it’s about systematically destroying the infrastructure of the hospitals. Destroying the oxygen tanks at the al-Shifa hospital, deliberately destroying the CT scanners and making it much more difficult to rebuild that infrastructure. If it was just targeting Hamas militants, why are they deliberately destroying the infrastructure of these institutions?”

If you think it isn’t a genocide at this point then you just don’t care.

And it’s depressing to see that that’s how most people view it, especially at this level.

At least 50% of Biden voters say Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians, poll finds

And that was almost two months ago.

That’s still really low IMO given the data available to us now.

I only see it rising too, even a majority of conservatives support a permanent ceasefire
