Israel destroyed my university. Where is the outrage? | The Chris Hedges Report

You know what also died in Gaza? ~ The Myth of Western Humanity and Democracy ~

My condolences to the University president. I can not imagine losing 102 family members that quickly. Strong man to keep his sanity.

What adjective describes something beyond barbaric? Israel refers to Hamas as human animals; but the IDF has demonstrated that they are animals who’ve lost all sense of humanity. I’m far beyond horrified and I’m left dumbfounded and disgusted by my own government’s decision to side with the perpetrators rather than the victims!

Thank you for this sad and in-depth discussion! In my 84 years…I have never lumped people into a category to hate! I cannot recall even harboring hate toward anyone…but, I find myself with feelings of hate toward Israelis…this is not Jews…of the kind that I have known. I am empty from grief and visions of the suffering of the Palestinian people…they did not deserve this complete destruction of their world…and their families! 💔💔💔

Keep in mind that palestinian soul will never ever be defeated.

The whole thing it's a depressing mess, and the worst thing our taxpayer dollars are paying for this Genocide!😡

Its horrible how no country is standing "firmly" against brutal crimes of this country despite watching them unfold live in front of their eyes.

Gaza’s rescue workers are haunted by those they couldn’t save Civil defense teams are working around the clock with minimal resources to help Palestinians trapped under the rubble. Too often, it’s a losing battle. An excerpt : “I cannot sleep, not even for one minute. I am constantly haunted by the voices and screams of people under the rubble as they beg us to pull them out.” This is how Ibrahim Musa, a 27-year-old from Al-Bureij refugee camp in the center of the Gaza Strip, described his life since the start of Israel’s bombardment. Not only is he struggling to survive from one day to the next like everyone else in the besieged enclave, Musa is also one of the more than 14,000 rescue workers comprising Gaza’s civil defense teams, who lead the efforts after each Israeli airstrike to save the lives of those trapped beneath the rubble. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, more than 8,000 people have gone missing since the war began, the vast majority of whom are thought to be stuck under rubble. Many of them have likely died despite the best efforts of civil defense workers. A scenario that Gaza’s rescue workers have been encountering regularly is having to try to calm children who are stuck beneath the ruins of their home. “The children call out from the rubble asking about their family members,” Musa continued. “We sometimes lie and tell them everyone is okay so that they don’t go into shock. Other times, they call out to tell us that a family member lying next to them has been martyred.” ---------------- For Musa, it often feels like he and his colleagues are fighting a losing battle. “It’s not one or two houses being bombed, but entire residential complexes,” he explained. “The whole area is completely erased and becomes a single pile of rubble. We need to dig with our hands to remove injured people who are still alive. “There is no equipment,” Abu Khudair said, explaining that they lack bulldozers for removing large blocks of concrete and electronic devices that could determine victims’ locations. “We operate only with human power.” -------------- Civil defense workers themselves are not immune to Israel’s attacks: at least 32 have been killed since the start of the war, including seven members of Abu Khudair’s own team. He thinks this is no mistake. “The occupation forces deliberately target the civil defense and ambulance teams,” Abu Khudair said. --------------- One particularly devastating situation that has been seared into Abu Khudair’s memory followed a midnight bombing near a gas station in the southern Gaza town of Al-Qarara. “I went to the site and at first I could not find any victims,” he recalled. “Then I heard moaning and headed toward the sound. I dug among the rubble and found two stuck legs, which I freed — they belonged to a 12-year-old girl named Aisha.” The girl told him that eight of her family members were trapped under the rubble, in addition to other families, including 9 very young children. Despite the best efforts of Abu Khudair and his colleagues, they simply did not have the means to save them. He described it as “one of the harshest moments I have experienced — leaving a place knowing that there are people alive under the rubble, but you cannot do anything for them, and some of them will surely die.” Read in further harrowing detail at ; https://www.972mag.com/gaza-civil-defense-rescue-workers-rubble/

I am very sorry for your losses and those of your countrymen; hopefully there will be light at the end of this decades-long darkness

I’ve never cried so much for people I’ve never met. Not even during the Trade Center attacks. I wake up in tears and see the children. Always the children. I’m grateful for the real journalists who tell us the truth. No matter how hard it is to believe. Thank you.

izreel once again shows its true colors....free Palestine 🇵🇸

Texas, USA, old born again Christian woman, mortified of what is being done to the Palestinians. I am also so sad for the evil that the Israeli government brainwashed the younger generations to do, feel, and believe. My prayers for everyone harmed.

Horrific is too mild a word for what we allow to happen there

I have just finished reading “Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel” by Max Blumenthal and strongly advise all others to purchase it. This will give you a realistic look at the national mindset that is committing such unimaginable cruelty to Palestinians.

How can anyone now say that the Israeli state has a right to exist?? They have learned nothing from history and will repeat itself soon. What's that old saying, "You reap what you sow"

Shame is not a strong enough word to issue regarding the US supplying weapons now committing this genocide. I don’t know a word strong enough.

Here is an entry from Wikipedia regarding Al-Israa University: "Al-Israa University includes a Law Faculty. Cooperation between the Law Faculty and the Palestinian Center for the Independence of the Judiciary and the Legal Profession took place in 2019 on issues including the proposed Palestinian Basic Law and human rights and the right to a fair trial." Little wonder that Israel wanted it destroyed.

What will be said about us, the West, the people who are letting this happen, who are enabling it? I am so slickened by this injustice. This should not be allowed to happen in the 21st century. But maybe I am wrong. Maybe we're as cruel as we've ever been.

its enough to break your heart, I struggle to understand how those in power that can stop choose not to. why? how?

Once they burned books. Today is the same, nothing has changed.
