He said at least once or twice daily, there were “mass casualty incidents,” meaning that 10 to 20 people were killed and up to 40 seriously injured. He estimated that at least 60 percent of the people treated at these times were women and children.
The 62-year-old surgeon broke down three times during his testimony

Israel couldnt do this without US weapons.
and Germany… don’t forget the Germans, man, they do their best to stay relevant in this genocidal massacre.
How?
Yes with trump it will so much better! They’ll finish the job and we don’t have to worry about Palestinians anymore! 👍
In all seriousness… I’d really like to know what has gone wrong in people’s lifes to think and speak like that, without feeling the slightest bit of shame.
I think you’re missing the /s - I know you’re being sarcastic but I don’t think it’s clear because some truly horrible piece of shit humans actually think that way.
I think they understand the sarcasm but they been offended by it.
I do find it offensive to bring out petty political domestic politics on a news about genocide. America is not the center of the world, and worse, given that they are the one responsible for that shit, they should really keep a low-profile.
No it’s more because these typa comments are showing up after 13 straight months of dems giving a free pass to Israel and then
expectingdemanding people to vote for them.That is 100% russian/maga propaganda and you know it
Please, as if any other party - well the one other party since USA has two parties and that’s it, at least when it comes to voting - has done anything.
Stop with excuses. The same two parties are winning because people decided to vote for them. While in many other countries newly formed parties was able to win in the first attempt.
Other countries have representational voting. America doesn’t have a system that will allow any other parties, especially on first attempt. If America has ranked-choice voting, it too would have parties out the wazoo
Which countries have ranked choice electoral systems? My home country doesn’t and it has at least 4 or 5 major parties, a lot of medium ones and many smaller ones.
Then maybe they should stop pretending to be a democracy.
Who’s pretending? Where a fully functioning oligarchy
The US political system is not other countries. How come people on this site are all about understanding systems except when that system stands in their way? How come so many people are experts on US politics and the political landscape therein without having studied it literally ever in their life? It’s honestly getting to be infuriating how little yall know and how far you think that knowledge seems to extend.
I don’t need to know the details of how the red khmer worked to know they were bad.
No I think the sarcasm was obvious, it was just a trite and tired sentiment.
Nobody cares about your internal politics you know. This is serious matter. Sorry your favorite genocider lost but it’s on america as a whole. Please do not bring that shit here.
Rotfl. It can always be worse. And you’ll see.
Absolutely, I fully trust america to scratch the floor and double down on the warcriming. Anyway, this news is not about america. They are merely paying for that shit. I find it undecent as shit to bring out your petty domestic politic beef on a news piece about genocide.
I don’t think that’s really the point. The point is that Israel is killing civilians including children, not soldiers.
Then why is there mention of “60% are women and children”?
Because it’s hard to invoke self-defense when killing toddlers. How is it not clear?
Doesn't say "toddlers." Says "Women and children."
You’re being pedantic but you know you’re wrong.

Because both of these groups are non-combatants in most of the world, particularly so in this conflict because Hamas is an Islamist organization. 70% (this seems to be the accurate number) of casualties being women and children implies 70%< of casualties are civilians.
Are you just looking for something to get mad about?
I'm not sure where you got the idea that I'm mad about anything.
Just a common troll. Move on
Israel in particular has mandatory military service for men, for 36 months.
barrons.com/…/israel-government-votes-to-extend-m…
Is there a corollary mandatory service for men in Gaza or for Hamas?
It’s incredibly hard to search this information, probably due to the English queries.
The point about women and children being definitively civilians in an active war zone doesn’t detract from the civilian men, nor is it worth this discussion.
The inherent implication is that every man that is killed deserves it, whether that’s the intended implication or not.
My man is trying to make a point about gender equality in a genocide. People should be killed equally in genocide.
Which heinous gibbering cunt can look at photos of these poor injured kids and think “yep, doing good work right now”
dont worry they will drop by here soon
Almost the entire Knesset.
Any Zionist for damn sure
I believe the lack of footage from gaza and the censorship of the press is doing a good job at keeping public opinion controlled. If pictures of dead kids would be on the news daily you will see a public outrage.
well probably most of the main western media are controlled by people who support Israel so not surprised.
No, you would see shrugs from democrats and glee from republicans.
Israelis
Democrats.

The noses on the Nazi and the woman look like the other two to me.
be honest
Is it not true that different ethnicities have different features? There’s nothing grossly exaggerated here. How should we draw people otherwise?
No, I think you are right!! People are so so SO stupid nowadays, the Israeli flag wasn’t enough of a clue! What could it mean?! So all the stupid people needed to see that racist caricature of the hook nose going halfway down his face. Good call!
even worse the flags look like they were slapped on by a different person
you’re right. the flags look like they were added in post
Edit: parent comment was deleted but they pointed out the noses resembling antisemitic caricatures and got lots of downvotes
Since when do drones shoot?
Since obama?
Obama… scares?
Awh look he’s big enough to use a keyboard now
keep being hostile. Makes you a better person…
The earliest recorded use of an unmanned aerial vehicle for warfighting occurred in July 1849, serving as a balloon carrier (the precursor to the aircraft carrier) is the first offensive use of air power in naval aviation.
If you need something more modern, these for example are from the early 90s
I was only confused about the word shooting, but apparently Israel has a sniper drone since 2022.
This world is worse than hell.
Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.
Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?
Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?
Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.
Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.
Edit: In case anyone missed what I was saying, “This world is worse than
hellwar” is how I would interpret Sir_Kevin’s comment, and I’m a veteran.I was hoping someone would drop this quote, god I love MASH.
I am ashamed to admit that I saw “Hawkeye” and thought - “Wow… I don’t remember that bit from Endgame / the Hawkeye Disney+ show… I need to watch it again…” 😓
You know what would help this situation? Letting a fascist become President of the United States. Again.
