21-year-old’s hopes of being a surgeon dashed by Israel’s war on Gaza

“We’re humans. Two million people trapped, nowhere to go. We should be more valuable to the world than this.”
A medical student from Gaza, 21-year-old Marwa’s dream of becoming a surgeon was devastated by Israel’s continuing bombardments on Gaza. Now she lives in a crammed refugee camp.

What heroes? Has there been that’s come of Palestine other than victimhood and decolonization pipe dreams? There could have been peace decades ago. All you Free Palestiners should get a grip on the possible. And for the person saying he’s sobbing like he lost his entire family, he’s either lying or crazy. Israel-Palestine isn’t the first conflict the world has ever seen and it’s certainly isn’t and won’t be the most deadliest, even in 2023.

Or the fact that Mossad and idf has the Hamas battle plans 1 year prior to oct 7th, collection dust The Oct 7 th attack could have been prevented by Israel. 5th most powerful army, and they had the Hamas battle plans 1 year prior.

[@EyebrowsGaming]

Unfortunately, NATO needs its puppet to keep the Middle East in check. Israel served this purpose throughout the Cold War, quashing the pan-Arab movement and stifling the spread of socialism in the region throughout the 20th century. Now it continues to serve as a US military base, the USA has no reason to let it go. And if a few million Arabs have to live in captivity, suffer and die so the US can keep its control of the region, then to Washington that is a bargain price that somebody else is paying.

Thanks for the video. unfortunately the Israeli regime's doctrine is based on the teachings that they receive from their so called spiritual guides, as mentioned by Allah Almighty in the Sacred Qura'n 72:6 as we are warned against them. A doctrine that involves false pride, hatred and chaos as it's primary means of achieving it's goals. Therefore this regime does not hesitate to promote and support any action that can lead to disharmony and promotion of enemosity, since they have been reassured by these cursed entities that they are following the correct and righteous path which could not be any farther from our Magnificent Creator''s Truth. Our salute to the entire resistance around the world against these satanic forces.

@@Mycrix1never been an arab palestine, invented by the muslims in 1967,try reading, not listening to deadheads. Besides them, many Arab sources confirm the fact that the Holy Land was still Jewish by population and culture in spite of the Diaspora: ·In 985 c.e. the Arab writer Muqaddasi complained that in Jerusalem the large majority of the population were Jewish, and said that "the mosque is empty of worshippers..." . ·Ibn Khaldun, one of the most creditable Arab historians, in 1377 c.e. wrote: "Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel extended over 1400 years... It was the Jews who implanted the culture and customs of the permanent settlement". After 300 years of Arab rule in the Holy Land, Ibn Khaldun attested that Jewish culture and traditions were still dominant. By that time there was still no evidence of "Palestinian" roots or culture . ·The historian James Parker wrote: "During the first century after the Arab conquest [670-740 c.e.], the caliph and governors of Syria and the [Holy] Land ruled entirely over Christian and Jewish subjects. Apart from the Bedouin in the earliest days, the only Arabs west of the Jordan were the garrisons". Even though the Arabs ruled the Land from 640 c.e. to 1099 c.e., they never became the majority of the population. Most of the inhabitants were Christians (Assyrian and Armenian) and Jews.

[@shelleyporter3345]

She said it best when she said they are not meant to be made political. That they are humans. Nobody gets to see this in America. Peaceful protesting with real knowledge and stories would go over much better than what is happening here. Nobody gets to feel love and compassion. All people see is anger and destruction. I understand the anger, but it's just feeding fire of hate and validating it in their ignorance. There is no compassion for evil doings. People think that everyone is evil terrorists in Gaza. People here don't even know that people are trapped in Gaza. They think that they are free to leave and choose to stay. Wanting something to come back to is a completely different conversation. Nobody knows how small Gaza is, like shooting fish in a barrel. I wish more people knew that. I wish people knew that not everyone there is Hamas and wants war. I wish people knew the value of human life. God bless anyone caught in every war.
