  1. Israel has never produced any real evidence that the health care system is used by Hamas as bases or command centres actively. This is genocide! Can we stop tip toeing around it. The Israelis are trying to kill all the Palestinians in Gaza or push them out by making life so unbearable. They’ve said openly about resettling there.

  8. White Arab Palestinians Civilians Military live Matter Black African American Lives Do Not Matter to White Racist According to UN data, 165 million children worldwide are too small for their age, or stunted, due to chronic malnutrition. Three quarters of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. In sub-Saharan Africa, 40% of children are affected; in South Asia, 39%.

    3.2 million children under the age of 5 die each year in sub-Saharan Africa – that's about half of the world's deaths in this age group.

    Worldwide, nearly every second death in children under the age of five is due to malnutrition. 0:44

  9. After 9/11, Americans didn't see stories like this about Afghanistan or Iraq. For all its faults and contradictions, the internet does bring us news that used to be filtered out.

  10. In 2023, an estimated 6.3 million children under five died, 2.9 million of them in the WHO African Region. This is equivalent to five children under 5 years of age dying every minute. Two thirds of these deaths can be attributed to preventable causes. A third of all these deaths are in the neonatal period. 0:31

  13. It just shows that the Arab countries can't survive without the US Israel as business partners, that's why they kept silent

  22. US will be all responsible for the starvation of people and babies in Gaza. Shameless US government. Shameless US leaders. Extreme shameless.
