He just lost 6 members of his family in Gaza to Israeli bombs and the second question she asks him is if he condemns Hamas. This is moral depravity and racism disguised as ‘journalism’.

Dear journalists covering Gaza, The Israeli military has a history of intentionally spreading misinformation to journalists as a war strategy. Be very very careful reporting Israeli military sources w/out independent confirmation or w/out understanding the possible motives ⤵️

I was consoling 13 year old Halla as she woke up from the anaesthetic. I said "it will be right, the surgery is finished". She said it to me " it will never ever be alright. They killed my mum and dad."

I am drained. I’m dehydrated, sleep deprived, rarely eat, and severely anxious with a constant headache. I am lucky! I’m still alive: 6600 people are not, I’m unharmed: 17,500 are, I survived: 1600 are stuck under the rubble, I’m home: Over a million people are homeless. #Gaza

Last night was difficult. Exhausted to the point of pain but I couldnt sleep till the early hours of the morning. It rained at 8:30 am cleared the smoke from the air and the sky was beautiful. I was able to operate on a 5 year old with a nasty foot injury. Today is a new day.

This is only an “exclusive look” if you actively ignore the work of Palestinian reporters risking their lives day in, day out - including those working for CNN. So many have been killed that CPJ MENA say it’s been the deadliest month for journalists since it started counting.

Het gaat er ook niet om of mensen zoals ik daadwerkelijk uitgezet worden of dat het juridisch haalbaar is of niet. Het gaat erom dat een kwart van de bevolking er geen bezwaar tegen zou hebben als het wel zou kunnen. Dat ze hopen dat het lukt. Dat ze het prima vinden als

Mijn vader gaat schaatsen om geld op te halen voor kankeronderzoek in Erasmus MC Kanker Instituut. Als je wilt, kun je via deze link doneren: tinyurl.com/yqkpg48e. Hopelijk hoeft er ooit niemand meer pijn of verdriet te hebben door deze kutziekte.

Germany's defense of Israel in the name of the holocaust is a striking example of what happens when history is taught with a focus on events and outcomes rather than processes. The same thing happens in the U.S. a 🧵 1/
