Doctors who have returned from volunteering at besieged hospitals to tell officials aid is meaningless without a ceasefire

A delegation of American and British doctors is in Washington DC to tell the Biden administration the Israeli military is systematically destroying Gaza’s health infrastructure in order to drive Palestinians out of their homes.

“The IDF are systematically targeting healthcare facilities, healthcare personnel and really dismantling the whole healthcare system,” he said.

“It’s not just about targeting the buildings, it’s about systematically destroying the infrastructure of the hospitals. Destroying the oxygen tanks at the al-Shifa hospital, deliberately destroying the CT scanners and making it much more difficult to rebuild that infrastructure. If it was just targeting Hamas militants, why are they deliberately destroying the infrastructure of these institutions?”

    That’s a weird way to say that people are against genocide and ethnic cleansing.

    Nobody here supports Hamas. Most people here (outside the fringes) absolutely despise the thought of authoritarian theocratic rule. I mean, this is nowhere more true than on Lemmy. Maybe what you’re noticing is people talking about Hamas as if they are a symptom of a problem (and a very, very predictable and historically easily verifiable outcome of a specific socio-economic and political reality) and people want to tackle the problem, not just the symptom. This is what you do when you are intelligent.

    Here’s a hint to get you started- the problem is Israel, specifically Zionism.
