Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced Wednesday that the Israeli military was setting up a field hospital inside Israel to treat Palestinian children from Gaza, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vetoed the plan.
Netanyahu’s office said that it informed Gallant in writing that the prime minister does approve establishing a “temporary hospital” for Gaza’s children, and therefore, it would “not be established.”
An official in the Israeli Defense Ministry told The Times of Israel that Netanyahu blocked the hospital for “political reasons.”
Netanyahu could come under criticism from extremist members of his coalition government for enabling the treatment of Palestinian children, which includes not only kids wounded by Israeli airstrikes but also newborn babies who are dying due to a lack of nutrition since their malnourished mothers cannot breastfeed.
Some children have been evacuated into Egypt for medical care, but since Israel captured the Rafah border crossing on May 7, that vital lifeline has been cut off.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, nearly 16,000 children have been killed by the Israeli assault on Gaza, and about 38,000 have been wounded, which includes many amputees. Due to the Israeli siege, children’s limbs have been amputated without anesthetics.
Foreign doctors and health workers who volunteered at Gaza hospitals have recalled horrific scenes. Nick Maynard, a British surgeon who worked at Gaza’s al-Aqsa Hospital, recalled a story about a young girl who was left to die on the hospital floor.
“One child that I’ll never forget had burned so bad you could see her facial bones,” Maynard said. “We knew there was no chance of her surviving that, but there was no morphine to give her. So, not only was she inevitably going to die, but she would die in agony. And what made it even worse was that there was nowhere for her to go and die, so she was just left on the floor of the emergency department to die.”
The Democratic party with or without Biden decided to continue unabatedly with the genocide and the war on children particularly. Different face, same insanity. Adding polio to the misery now by the way. So that any Democrat less than enthusiastic about the killing and maiming of children knows what they're voting for.
The Republicans meanwhile profile themselves on supporting genocide more than the Democrats. They set themselves to the task of proving on being sicker in the head than their opponents. Mission accomplished. Turned out to be not much of a challenge. Netanyahu and Trump are buddies again, the childkilling bonds like minds I guess. It gets sicker and sicker and sicker.
Yes. It gets sicker and sicker and sicker. Mr. Trump and Mr. Netanyahu have always been buddies. It was Mr. Trump who moved the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The plan is to kill or transfer all Palestinians, excavate the Dome, burn the sacred cattle, build another temple, call everything OK.
Well meaning Americans have lost our country to these ZIONISTS MONDTERS!! WHERE AR ALL THE SMART LAWYERS when we need them??? Has our whole country been CORRUPTED AND EXPLOITED BY THIS ZIONIST DEATH CULT???
Netanyahu wants to kill those children. He does everything he can to kill them. Hospital?
To the bulk of the Israeli Jewish citizens, he is a hero, the best of the best, seeking only the safety of the Jewish citizens from those terrorist babies and young children. Sick.
And Biden, Austin and many of our Top American Officials are culpable in this Genocide…!!!! Where is the long arm of American LAW …???? AWOL AND THEIR IS SURELY A CRIME UNDER OUR LAW !!!!!!! Bring these monsters totrial!!!
Satanyahu needs not to worry about American elections, whatever is the outcome, U.S. will carry on supporting the genocide of Palestinians.
This will help the Deep State "foster" a "lone nut" assassin driven by "vengeance" because of the Israeli genocide and Trump's turning a blind eye to it!
PR gesture. That Gallant is the more empathic takes the measure of BB's barbarity. Not only not to feel for that little girl, but to cynically exploit her suffering. "Mutilated genetalia" or "Beheaded babies" were more humane.
Do Jewish People think stories like this one will quell any possible avalanch of antisemitism or swell maybe not antisemitism, but antiZionism & anti Israeli passions WORLDWIDE. Murdering helpless women & children is the lowest anyone, any people, any state can stoop, and the world needs to bring those responsible to justice and quickly. Any and all attempts to shield or evade justice by these perpetrators should be treated as a capital crime. Any state that tries to prevent their just punishment needs to be sanctioned blocaded and brought to their knees. For the good of all mankind and a warning to those in the future who may contemplate GENOCIDE as an option in statecraft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Hedges has visited Gaza many times over the years. He was there during the Protective Edge attacks and had visited the home of a friend in Gaza after one of their children was killed by a Israeli strike. He was told that when his younger brother was told what happened, the boy disappeared. Looking for him, his father found him with a knife in his hand. His father asked him what he as doing. The boy's answer: "I am going to kill Jews".
Netanyahu is a war criminal and he should be treated as such.
Nothing will happen to him, the ruling elite, war criminals like him, will protect each other.
Correct. AIPAC has baby sitters for our congressmen/women. Universities have snoops in the guise of instructors, with direct connections to Tel Aviv. Israel has spied on the U.S. for years. It was an abomination that Pollard was set free.
Another words… The United States of Israel…!
A country For the people, Of the people and By the people of Israel…!
I ask you: how else can you murder all the children (read future terrorists and subhuman creatures) than to deny them medical assistance once your brave warriors have blown off their limbs?
Our so-called advanced civilization (here's looking at you, Ursula) literally reeks, oozes evil on a planetary scale, and we're supporting these cretins with our tax dollars.
Thanks, Joe Biden, this is your true legacy. This is what you will be remembered for.
And Mr. Trump will pick up the baton and keep the carnage going. "Finish the job" he said several weeks ago.
Trump will do what he's told. There are no more leaders in the US political establishment. US politicians are wholly owned and operated by Israel, LLC.
My beef with Biden and Co is more direct: he has volunteered myself and other tax payers for our current collective status as war criminals.
I no longer care who gets elected, as long as it's not Biden and his crew/handlers. I just want to see Biden punished in the only court we have access to.
Well not saying the entire point of the operation is to kill as many as possible, but if you look at this order through that lens, the picture sure does come into focus.
Strange really, cause you can build a tiny ineffective hospital and still keep bombing and marching people hither and yon while pointing to the good deed you have done.
The goal I assume isn’t only to kill them but to break them and to show to not only Palestinians but the world that Israel is not only crazy and dangerous but powerful enough to get away with anything.
Palestinians, I assume, need to be so broken, so hopeless, so ruined that they not only will never be able to pose a threat but will choose to leave when given the opportunity.
If you watch, Israel continues to choose to do horrible things. It’s a choice made repeatedly.
This cretin, he is not a human being, he is a blood thirsty ghoul:
an evil spirit or phantom, especially one supposed to rob graves and feed on dead bodies.
giraldi, former cia but good alt commentator recommends that neten be arrested as war criminal when he comes to speak at that sickening fest before what used to be called congress-i recommended before on that day, that thinking americans display their flag upside down and at half mast.
Biden is breaking the U.S. 18 USC GENOCIDE STATUTE
This serious crime carries significant potential penalties. The punishment for the basic offense is: In the case of an act where a death resulted, execution or life imprisonment and a fine of up to $1 million. In other cases, imprisonment of up to 20 years and a fine of up to $1 million.Nov
Did you miss the recent SCOTUS decision giving president’s magical lifetime immunity for crimes committed as “official acts?”
This Zionist leader is not just a very bad man, he is. Freak & Monster to rival Hitler…!!!!!! Tens of thousands of genocided women & children, but no numbers on enemy combatants they kill.. Is it that they are killing 10, 20, 50, or 100 times women & CHILDREN than Hamas legitimate combatants or some other reason??? I as an American Citizen and taxpayer demand that Biden Austin & all of the leaders be brought to Justice before American courts for their complicity & support of genocide in violation of AMERICAN LAW.
We’re each a cog in the machine, each partly responsible for those unnecessary deaths.
