"There's an acronym that's unique to the Gaza Strip, it's WCNSF - wounded child, no surviving family - and it's not used infrequently," - Dr Tanya Haj-Hassan of Doctors Without Borders.

I have been thinking a lot recently about this old interview with Egyptian filmmaker Youssef Chahine about what "civilization" means.

I am saddened by the news coming from #Lebanon about bombings, death, and destruction. May the international community make every effort to stop this terrible escalation. It is unacceptable. I express my solidarity with the Lebanese people, who have already suffered too much.

“We are on the verge of destroying ourselves,” says “Nexus” and “Sapiens” author @harari_yuval. But “the problem is not with our nature. It’s with our information.” He explains to @WalterIsaacson.

“There is a whole world that doesn’t exist anymore — that’s just what time does. It takes things away from you. Life is a series of losses, so you’re always in a state of mourning to some extent. That’s what nostalgia is, it’s a kind of mourning.” https://t.co/yLTn4mHPPc

when we fail the children of the world, we fail in the very purpose of existence. and we have failed them repeatedly and in worsening and worsening ways.

UNICEF estimates that at least a thousand children in Gaza have become amputees since the genocide began in October. “This is the biggest cohort of pediatric amputees in history,” Ghassan Abu-Sitta , a London-based plastic-and-reconstructive surgeon who specializes in pediatric trauma says. In Gaza, Abu-Sittah was performing as many as six amputations a day. “Sometimes you have no other medical option,” he explained. “The Israelis had surrounded the blood bank, so we couldn’t do transfusions. If a limb was bleeding profusely, we had to amputate.” The dearth of basic medical supplies, owing to blockades, also contributed to the number of amputations. Without the ability to irrigate a wound immediately in an operating room, infection and gangrene often set in. “Every war wound is considered dirty,” Karin Huster, a nurse who leads medical teams in Gaza for Doctors Without Borders, said. “It means that many get a ticket to the operating room.”

We teach our students that history is contingent. That the world can be otherwise. And then our employers send in the police to beat that lesson out of them.

Just 96 trucks of aid for 2m human beings. USAID chief Sam Power says the aid being permitted into Gaza is WAY too small.

She repeats what aid workers have told us for months: People are so desperate for water that they're drinking salt water. They're eating animal feed & weeds

A revelatory gem of a book by Sandra Edelman; a meditation on #shame. Visceral reading for those steeped in shame-based societies.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

The images from Gaza of the Rafah massacre by Israel last night look like a horror movie. Children dangling with limbs blown off, or crawling screaming with their dying breaths. Parents picking up the heads of their babies that are barely recognizable. The hundreds stacked like bodies in a slaughterhouse.

The fact that their stories will be erased in mainstream media while videos are being suppressed on social media tells you all you need to know. Any semblance of international law or standard for humanity is dead. Palestinian life under occupation never mattered to you before, so our deaths under genocide don’t matter to you now.

Don’t ever lecture us on morality again. Your hearts are dead.
