Not the politicians and so called leaders who can only bring misery or stay on the political sidelines. If those politicians need to be remembered at all, it is so that people can learn from their abuses of power and condemn them.

A vast generalization that does not reflect the realities of the world. Admirable, but in times of crisis, the military takes precedence, especially when hostages are ACTIVELY being held in the strip at this moment. A misplaced kindness toward the aggressor is cruelty toward the victim. For me, the answer is clear: one side has repeatedly proclaimed the annihilation of the other. One side has repeatedly attacked civilian targets with no regard for their fellow people. One side has hidden munitions under protected targets, threatening all civilians who flee to them. One side has raped, pillaged, and defaced corpses of mothers and children. No one wishes for the suffering of innocent civilians, but to disregard the factors in play demonstrates a lack and unwillingness to learn about the complexities of humanitarian and emergency operations. Just because operationally, there are actions that need to be taken does not mean a lack of care for human rights; to do so is a disservice and incentivizes actual war crimes, the types of which cause millions of deaths, not thousands.

I've seen this Dr. before helping Palestinians in other crisis. God bless his work and dedication towards those that have been abandoned by the entire world.

[@Shadowmaker87]

nobody abbandoned palestinians. They are the most funded group of all "oppressed" people in the world ask Hamas where all the money and supplies went? example: the waterpipes for the canalisation from canada were used to build rockets instead of helping their people they published videos how they rebuild those pipes.

What about the corruption that has been taking place…to support such an atrocity! The powerful don’t worry about the lowly citizen…they are nothing compared to the ‘power!’

[@nazeemateladia6080]

I want to thank you Dr from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for Palestine 🇵🇸 ❤ You one of the great.

[@emopals2390]

The conflict between Israel and Palestinians has long been a subject of interest, and I have dedicated time to understanding its complexities. Initially, my understanding was shaped by a narrative that portrayed Muslims as harboring deep-seated animosity towards Jews. The media often echoed the sentiment that "Muslims want to kill all Jews," leaving me startled. However, as I delved deeper into the matter, I discovered that this narrative was far from accurate. In fact, the reality is quite the opposite, with a considerable amount of animosity towards the Muslim and Arab communities coming from the Jewish side.

[@KC-gi9ol]

Thank you for stating this! I, too, began studying this about 10 years ago to try to understand the whys and whats of it all since the U.S. has carte Blanche supported Israel. I also discovered that we are lied to and the Israeli propaganda machine with the help of the U.S. and western media have effectively brainwashed most Americans with the narrative you mentioned. We’ve been gaslighted for generations.

[@ginameyer8832]

This is just the most horrible thing that is going on!!! this is worse then halocaust. i can't believe the usa is supporting this. praying for palestine everyday!!!! thank you for the all the people who are doing something

[@ordinarynet6694]

Especially with these dead 1500 innocent jew's , and the Palestinian government killing them with "militants" , and the anti-semitic slurs by many palestinian rallies, and the Muslim immigrants drawing david shields on jewish shops and houses across Europe... You say it's worse the the holocaust because you never cared about the holocaust at first. So please give it a second thought before saying stupid things

[@ruthokelley5833]

I can’t believe the US is supporting this…and has been for years! Israel has the most advanced military in the world and we send them billions in aid…🤬

[@KC-gi9ol]

Exactly, this is worse and definitely Holocaust 2.0. So many parallels. I’m in shock as we watch it all unfold and in real time. Israel cannot hide its brutality any longer as it has for decades.

[@ellenmccarthy6912]

Thank you for your good reporting
