    Honestly disgusting how the media overlooks this. No idea what these children have ever done. Irrespective of what side you support this is genocide and this should not be tolerated.

      This was the top story on NPR’s up first podcast today. They didn’t exactly blame Isreal directly, but they also didnt defend Israel and suggest this is somehow justified. They stuck pretty close to here is what is happening on the ground, here’s voices of those affected, this is a humanitarian tragedy and will only get worse. They mentioned a woman in Gaza rationing milk for her baby due to the food shortage, that stuck with me. So I guess #notallmedia.

      The coverage on the NYT The Daily podcast was spot on what I would expect from the outlet that cheared us into invading Iraq. Trash podcast, I don’t know why I’m still subscribed. Should have dumped it after they spent a whole episode making a martyr out of the praying football coach.

      The media does everything they can but tell the truth because it flies counter to the goals of capitalism.

    Gaza has a population of 2+ million and HALF those are under 18? What? That’s a crazy statistic.

      That’s what war and siege does. People lose children a lot so they have more children.

      This is what it means to live in Gaza:

      0–14 years: 44.1% (male 415,746/female 394,195) 15–24 years: 21.3% (male 197,797/female 194,112) 25–54 years: 28.5% (male 256,103/female 267,285) 55–64 years: 3.5% (male 33,413/female 30,592) 65 years and over: 2.6% (male 24,863/female 22,607) (2018 est.)

        Maybe I don’t know, don’t bring more people into the world if they live on a literal battlefield? I don’t even want to bring kids into america right now. I can’t imagine how selfish one would have to be to bring a child into a warzone where their life expectancy is half the norm and they will suffer the entire time.

    Who would have thought that cutting energy and infrastructure along with limiting food supplies would cause a humatrian crisis in a densely populated camp…

    Just yesterday fake news said, Gaza residents deserve it and Israel has every right to do it.
