The state of Gaza’s hospitals: Surgeries without anesthesia and with only mobile phones for light. Vinegar from the corner store as disinfectant. 5,000 patients in a hospital built for 700, some sleeping on the floor. No power, no clean water, little fuel.

    Note that Israel do arrest, judge and sentence the terror group members when it is possible to do so, like in Israeli villages or in the West bank. But since Gaza is a self managing autonomous entity - this is not possible (without great risk to involved officers).

      The real question is how many settlers got effective sentences for killing unprovoked Palestinians or IDF soldiers killing intentionally kids who threw rocks on them. This is once again showing the double standards when coming to Palestinians.

        Look, when press says kids throwing rocks, it sounds like they’re throwing marbles, while the fact is a) they’re pretty well trained in throwing using slings b) on some occasions these are huge pieces of cinder blocks - definitely capable of severe damage/killing if one gets hit on their head…

      Only if they’re brown or they do something so egregious the international stage notices. Other than that it’s open season on Palestinians there and it has been for decades. They’ve literally shot the doctors at protests with no reprecussions.
