dr. med. mads gilbert: “4,5,6 children without heads” (brought into gaza from shija’iya yesterday)! (yesterday’s video)
as gaza is getting shelled massively as i’m writing this, and i’m losing contact to friends, i urge you to watch the reports (and read the tweets) by jonathan miller (yes, channel 4, i guess when you see what’s happening in gaza, there is no room for “both sides are to blame”-type of reporting left)
the video (first is of yesterday, which is the most recent) is really good, except the part where he explains that israel has warned residents to evacuate, but then hamas told them to stay, thinking it was a bluff, and it wasn’t. the truth is, at the time people in sheja’iya had been warned, people in 13 other areas had been told to evacuate as well – IN THE FREAKING GAZA STRIP, a place that is smaller than many cities. i was following social media during the attacks, and i feel like people didn’t stay because they thought “but hamas said” (palestinians CAN think for themselves, they don’t just blindly follow suicidal orders), but because people have been warned before without something this terrible happening, because the UN shelters were already full and you don’t sleep on the street unless you KNOW that you HAVE TO, and because the areas “warned” were too many to actually act upon.
