At least 1,500 children in Gaza have lost one or more limbs during the U.S.-Israeli genocide, part of a total of more than 6,000 documented war amputees, according to Gaza Health Ministry and World Health Organization data. Women account for nearly 13% of documented amputations.
The WHO says over 43,000 Palestinians have suffered severe trauma involving limbs, spinal cords, or brains requiring long-term rehabilitation, out of more than 170,000 people wounded during the war.
Israel classifies many prosthetic-related items as “dual-use,” and aid groups say almost no ready-made prosthetics have entered Gaza since the war began. Thousands of amputees are desperately struggling to rebuild their lives as Israeli restrictions severely limit the entry of prosthetic limbs, components, and manufacturing materials.
More than 16,500 patients, including amputees who require corrective surgeries that cannot be performed anywhere in Gaza, remain on waiting lists for treatment abroad. Israel only allows a handful to leave through the Rafah crossing each day. 1,500 patients on the WHO-approved list have died waiting, Gaza’s health authorities say.
84% of Americans, Bernie Sanders, and Thomas Massie agree. Don’t arm Israel unconditionally.
Also, don’t merge our military technology and supply chains with Israel’s… or any other country’s. I’ve submitted an amendment to strip section 224 (retitled section 219) from the NDAA.
Brezilya cumhurbaşkanı Filistin halkının mazlumiyeti karşısında gözyaşlarını tutamadı:
"Asıl kurbanların askerler değil, kadınlar ve çocuklar olduğu böyle bir soykırım karşısında dünyanın sessiz kalması acı verici."
The ceasefire agreement with Iran with the opening of the Strait of Hormuz is welcome news. Democrats should support it. I am glad it includes a provision for mutual respect of the US & Iran's sovereignty so we do not launch a dumb war of choice again.
The war was a costly lesson for the US. As expected, Trump failed to bring about regime change. The terms seem no better than what Obama secured under the JCPOA nearly a decade ago. America lost 14 precious service members and wasted billions of dollars on this foolish endeavor.
But today, we can be relieved that gas and food costs will start coming down for Americans. And that no more American or civilian lives will be lost.
It also shows that when the Congress votes to end war --as we did last week -- it can be a wake up call for the President to listen to the anti-war sentiments of the American people.
There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.
This documentary is the single most inspiring thing I’ve seen in years. @DemocracyNow gets no media industry buzz, but considering the odds & money stacked against it & its enormous reach, it is the greatest media success story of this era — and it’s not particularly close.

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

Every time I suggest equality under the law as the right principle for Israel-Palestine, many of my fellow Jews tell me it's dangerously unrealistic, that I don't understand the region etc. It's exactly what I heard from white South Africans as a kid. But I rarely heard a Black South African during apartheid say that legal equality was unrealistic, or would produce more violence, just as I rarely hear that from Palestinians today.
Claudia Sheinbaum has approval ratings of between 70 and 80%, thanks to her progressive policies which have lifted over 8 million people out of poverty.
So of course the @NYTimes finds some reason to attack her.
They hate her because she shows what can be done.
Netanyahu knows Americans are sick of funding Israel’s wars. So now he’s working with Congress to hide military aid inside Pentagon co-production deals.
That means MORE U.S. tax dollars for Israel, with even LESS oversight.
Not gonna happen!
Intertwining our defense technological development w/the Israelis, or any foreign nation, is foolish & dangerous.
Section 224 of the NDAA must be rejected.
