    At the hospital, a baby in a pink shirt, her face covered with sand, cried while receiving first aid. A small boy lay motionless at the other end of the bed, one shoe gone. Many wounded were treated on the floor.

    There was “the overwhelming stench of blood,” said Louise Wateridge, a spokesperson with the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees who visited the hospital and spoke with several patients. Staff said there were no cleaning products left.

    The blast threw a 2-year-old child into the air and the mother was missing, Wateridge said. Another boy had his feet blown off, while an 8-year-old boy was killed. “They told me to go there to be safe,” his grieving mother told her of the area struck.

        im tired of feeling powerless and started to have some unhinged thought. how hard is it to actually starting to work towards a solution just to realize a group of smarter people than me already have their answer and its involves ineffective pier and airdrops, alongside billions of dollar of arms toward the other side.

          Like most places in the middle east, peace could have already been accomplished without US interference. That’s all it takes.

          However the US keeps funding and arming belligerent actors in the region, causing war after war after war since the beginning of the cold war. Without US interference, they would have fought it out and reached some sort of compromise to survive. Everything the US gets involved in is in for death and misery for decades in the region and will always end up worse than it began.

          The current Israeli-Palestine situation is not a 70+ year long accidental mishap that nobody knows how to fix. It’s a cafefully orchestrated stage going according to plan. I mean they stopped Germany in the 1940s. World powers could easily stop Israel too, if they wanted. I don’t know if anyone can stop it. It seems that not even registered voters in the US can stop this.
