Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Gonna CW this because it's just generally distressing

spoiler

I remember on the day Aaron Bushnell self-immolated, some Twitter page added his name to a list of martyrs that included, for that day, a 60 day old baby named Muhammad al-Zayegh who died of starvation. 60 days old. He was born into and died during a genocide.

Babies are starving all over the world, I know (Yemen immediately comes to mind), but the context of this one baby in particular just got to me. Just this poor thing that was born to suffer for no reason and die two months later from something entirely preventable. The utter devilry of these fascist animals who continue to perpetrate this slaughter and celebrate it and victimize themselves is nauseating.

the fuck does it matter?

do starving children take up hospital beds that could be used by injured people? or are there different hospitals? lots of heartrending pictures, not many details

I mean, where the hell do you think energy for cooking food goes to, now that electricity's been cut off from Gaza..

For all I know, that energy could mostly prioritized in mass shelters and Hospitals

I mean, fill in the details if you want... but that's my thought

There's no way to know, it's like asking which got which bunks in the Nazi's work camps. It's a genocide nonetheless, almost nothing anybody does during it who's a victim of it can be blamed. Efficiency is unattainable when you're the target of genocide, only individual survival.

Well maybe because you're not actually looking for any details? Anyway, it's neither here nor there because the IOF has systematically targeted hospitals such that the entire medical system has essentially been in a state of collapse for months at this point. Currently, there are reportedly over 30,000 people in the Al-Shifa hospital complex as it is under attack by the IOF.
