We held a virtual encounter with Al-Farra and his patients this past Monday via a video call. In the past few weeks, we’ve sought to document what starvation looks like in Gaza, to witness the gravity of the situation with our own eyes. Israel doesn’t allow journalists into the Strip, but via video we’ve been able to conduct real-time, online tours of hospitals and clinics.

For this article we conducted four such tours, in different places, and conducted separate conversations with another 12 doctors, 10 of them volunteers from the United States and Britain, who are currently in the Gaza Strip or were there recently. What we saw there left no room for doubt about the scale of the horror.

    I don’t support Israel’s actions in Gaza

    Do you mean the genocide and Israeli terrorism?

    Hamas wants to genocide Israel

    The only genocide supporter is you, Israel is the one doing a genocide right now. Even after a century a free Palestine would never be able to commit any genocide . Hamas said they will drop arms once occupation end. Even if they lie , Israel could easily reoccupy.

    I only defend resistance against the occupying force the IDF, i never supported hamas killing innocent civilians.

    You are the type of people who would have sided with slave owner and Nate turner killed kids during his revolt and talk about how Nate was the reason why slavery persisted. You would have sided with France and Britain and called Algerian and Indian resistance the reason why occupation lasted that long

    I was just pointing out that by calling it an occupation, then an occupying force has the responsibility of providing safety and stability to the occupied lands.

    No, Israel as a settler colonial power should get the hell out of Palestine . Hamas is not the barrier it was always Zionists and Israel. Some Arab proposed a one state for the beginning Zionists refused. Zionists leaders admitted that they always want the whole land. Israel decided to occupy Gaza and west bank in 67 nobody forced them to. The Oslo accords was PLO recognizing Israel and stop attacking it in exchange of end of occupation. What Israel did was the build illegal settlements making a two state hard if not impossible.

    You Zionazis should go back to reddit because your stupid disgusting propaganda will never work

    after the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine - Ben Gurion

    The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him. -  Menachem Begin

      I think I was pretty clear that I don’t support Israel.
      But your minimizing the atrocities of Hamas doesn’t help the situation. Israel has gone off the deep end, just like the U.S. is going. But to not recognize Hamas’ desire to wipe out the Jews in Israel shows a very poor understanding of the situation.

        It’s pretty clear that you are. You think you are smart by trying to sound neutral.

        I repeat Hamas can’t destroy Israel even if it want. Hamas said they would drop arms once the occupation end. If Hamas is lying and refuse to do so when Israel end occupation, an Palestinian army would be in charge to destroy them. Since Palestinians would be free , most of them would stop supporting it so Hamas can’t survive

        I never minimized Hamas atrocities during the 7 of October but you are minimizing what Israel is doing
