Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary, reporting outside Al-Ahli Hospital in Deir el-Balah, central Gaza, reported that a newborn named Sham was severely injured after the child’s family was hit in an attack.

“She was in very critical condition where her arm was amputated and she died a couple of hours later, because her injury was very critical and doctors were unable to help her situation,” she said. The death brings to six the number of deaths early on Saturday.

Khoudary also reported that two forced evacuation orders were issued on Saturday in Shujayea and Khan Younis.

“Palestinians do not know where to go.”

    I’m completely horrified. There’s no culture likelier to know better, yet their government was able to get them to go along with literal genocide this far. Nobody is safe

      Israel was founded on genocide.

      Palestine wasn’t unoccupied when the colonialists moved in and took over. The 1948 Palestine war was literally European colonialists committing genocide to establish a new government.

      The fact that they are Jews and Germany has also recently committed genocide against them doesn’t make their actions justified.

        I hope you don’t think I said so. Only that it hurts to see even those who know this pain are so willing to inflict it on others. It makes humanity harder to admire on the whole.

          In the early days of their country, many Israelis also had mixed feelings about Holocaust survivors.

          “We saw the Holocaust survivors as a very weak population,” says Nava Ein-Mor, who was born in Tel Aviv in 1945, the year World War II ended. “We were very different from them. We were strong, and we were not going to allow ourselves to be in that position.”

          They were trying to say (I think) that thie isn’t a new phenomenon. Their government didn’t get them to go along with anything, because their genocide predates their government.

      same thing with americans and our government: too many of us derided people who gave this genocide the gravity it deserves during the election, as little more than a single issue voter; minimizing a genocide to some kind of policy or law that has little to no impact on the world’s stage.
