        It wasn’t?
        FTA

        The trauma experienced by hundreds of thousands of children and their parents in Gaza will also have long-term debilitating effects, psychiatrists and psychologists have warned, particularly as there are no therapeutic facilities left. Few of Gaza’s hospitals are functioning any more, even for operating on the severely injured.

        With an estimated 8,000 children killed in Gaza, and many tens of thousands more injured and orphaned, the UN children’s fund has said the Gaza Strip is “the most dangerous place in the world to be a child”.

          They’re either too stupid to read or too biased to read.

          Either way, they’re probably beyond help at this point.

        What the fuck are you even talking about? Seriously, did you even take 3 minutes to read the article?

        These people, who were (and still are) being taken captive by Hamas, are not “the oppressors” by any stretch.

        They are innocent people (in this case women and children) who were taken captive by terrorists and murderers, brought into a terrifying war zone, physically and sexually abused, drugged without consent, kept in 1x1.5 animal cages, kept in pitch black darkness, deprived of food, water, medication, and never knowing whether they or their families are going to die.

        You shouldn’t have to choose between sympathy to the innocent people of Gaza who are suffering in this war, and the innocent people of Israel who are also suffering. The fact that you even feel the need to “choose a side” or complain about media bias here is a stain on your soul and you should be fucking ashamed of that.

        Happy New Year, bitch.

            It’s only hard to believe victims when you don’t want to believe them.

            We saw people captured and murdered by Hamas terrorists with out very eyes. They were taken into Gaza, which very soon became a war zone. They, as in the victims themselves, have provided first hand accounts of trauma, physical abuse, sexual assault, torture, and many of them are still being treated in hospitals for that trauma.

            So what exactly are you contesting here? Are you trying to say that innocent people weren’t and aren’t kidnapped and being held by Hamas terrorists? Or maybe you’re trying to say that they were treated like kings over the last months since October 7th…?

                I could say that the head of psychiatry at Tel Aviv hospital who is treating the people in question (people who were, in a matter of obvious and well-documented fact, taken hostage by Hamas) is a reliable source. Certainly they’re more reliable than you are.

            “Safe space”, huh? You argue like Ron Desantis.

            Next thing you’ll be calling me “woke” because you clearly don’t have a leg to stand on or a brain to think with.

            Of the 14 hostages treated by Eitan’s team, nine are under 18 and two are under 10. Most need long-term treatment for trauma.

            Go ahead and explain to us how 9 teens and 2 children are guilty of oppressing anyone.
            Or maybe you hear “jew” in your head and can’t help but create some kind of twisted mental image?

            Either way, I’ll wait for your top mind to come up with an answer, because I just love a good laugh.
