Imperial feminism.

[The New York War Crimes @nywarcrimes]

Israel firebombed a fucking refugee tent city, massacring dozens, in what they had previously declared a safe zone, and the @nytimes is justifying it as an attack on Hamas. No limits to their depravity. They have just as much blood on their hands as any politician.

Breaking breaking breaking:

The army expels all patients and doctors and nurses from Al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah, leaving thousands of injured and to-be injured, as well as sick families, in mortal danger.
