Israel is literally shooting pregnant Palestinian women in the uterus.

“Israel is literally shooting pregnant Palestinian women in the uterus.

“An exploded fetus with a bullet through its neck — that’s not something a human should ever have to see.”

“—American doctor, Aziz Rahman, upon returning from a medical mission in Gaza”

1. Completely out of control

Does Netanyahu order troops to commit atrocities, or they do it on their own initiative? Either way, the just-following-orders excuse is not going to hold up for these monsters.

Please, please, make the horrors stop.

2. I'll wait for a more credible source on this one

[womanofthehills]

3. It's the American Dr in the video above

Telling an experience he had in Gaza.
Do you think the Dr is lying?

[NoRethugFriends]

4. I know it is. One person saying something with no bsckup or independent news source is not convincing

Not to say that it couldn't be true.
I have no idea if he is lying.
Fog of war and all.

6. Other American drs have said kids under 12 were being brought to the hospital

With wounds to head, abdomen, legs, genitalia. If you are evil enough to shoot to shoot children, you are capable of anything. An American doctor that puts his life in grave danger to go to Gaza to operate in an area that’s being bombed every day - I would think is more of a saint than a liar.

9. NYT's - 65 Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics: What We Saw in Gaza"

By Feroze Sidhwa
Dr. Sidhwa is a trauma and general surgeon who worked at the European Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, for two weeks in March and April.

Oct. 9, 2024

I worked as a trauma surgeon in Gaza from March 25 to April 8. I’ve volunteered in Ukraine and Haiti, and I grew up in Flint, Mich. I’ve seen violence and worked in conflict zones. But of the many things that stood out about working in a hospital in Gaza, one got to me: Nearly every day I was there, I saw a new young child who had been shot in the head or the chest, virtually all of whom went on to die. Thirteen in total.

At the time, I assumed this had to be the work of a particularly sadistic soldier located nearby. But after returning home, I met an emergency medicine physician who had worked in a different hospital in Gaza two months before me. “I couldn’t believe the number of kids I saw shot in the head,” I told him. To my surprise, he responded: “Yeah, me, too. Every single day.”

( list of drs seeing kids with bullet wounds in article - here are a few

Dr. Irfan Galaria
Plastic and reconstructive surgeon, 48 years old, Chantilly, Va.
“Our team cared for about four or five children, ages 5 to 8 years old, that were all shot with single shots to the head. They all presented to the emergency room at the same time. They all died.”

Dr. Ndal Farah
Anesthesiologist, 42 years old, Toledo, Ohio
“I saw many children. In my experience the gunshot wound was often to the head. Many had non-curable, permanent brain damage. It was almost a daily occurrence to have children arrive at the hospital with gunshot wounds to the head.”

37. They won't believe it unless Netanyahu himself reports it

Anyone else who speaks unflatteringly of Israel's campaign of deliberate murder is either Hamas, a Hamas sympathizer, or an antisemite.

[questionseverything]

38. He gives his name, shows his face, those are not the actions of a liar

Why don’t you put your name and face out there with your accusations? Then the doctor can sue you for defamation and we will see what the court says.

12. A 15-week fetus is so small that that the neck would not be big enough to have an obvious bullet hole.

The facts he is describing don't make sense. If the mother was shot in the abdomen with a IDF soldier's rifle, and it hit the fetus, there would be nothing recognizable left of the fetus, certainly not a "neck." Plus, it is unlikely he would have done the surgery he is describing. He is a radiologist, according to his bio on his podcast, not a trauma surgeon. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-aziz-rahman-providing-humanitarian-aid-in-gaza-radiology/id1178831764?i=1000721408854

16. 4" long. i agree w u.

there is just soooo much propaganda coming out of the region. i dont know who to believe, but i do apply a simple smell test. this doesnt smell right.

[EdmondDantes_]

21. I don't doubt he saw awful things, but I do doubt this story

Not only would the fetus be too small, there's no way to aim that precisely at a target you can't see. Sure they could aim in the general region, but to intentionally target something that small inside a human body seems like assuming intent beyond a reasonable certainty. There's plenty of ugliness being committed that is verified.

[Mossfern]

22. I had an American 'colleague' confront me

with accusations because she is Palestinian and I'm Jewish. It was not in the context of anything in particular. She just got in my face and said "I'm Palestinian." I had to gather my thoughts as to why she was declaring this to me as all I was doing was weeding a garden for which I was responsible.

Just because the doctor is American doesn't mean that he isn't biased.
Some would think the same if the situation was reversed if it was an American Jewish doctor making claims against Palestinians.

Asking for additional sources is reasonable.

5. Israel has been doing horrors like this since 1947.

I’ll take the Dr.’s word for it.

[womanofthehills]

7. A Jewish American orthopedic surgeon who recently traveled to Gaza to treat the continuous stream of wounded civilians r

“Dr. Mark Perlmutter, an orthopedic surgeon from North Carolina and vice president of the International College of Surgeons, volunteered in Gaza from late April through mid-May.”

"I've never seen that before," he said. "I've seen more incinerated children than I've ever seen in my entire life, combined. I've seen more shredded children in just the first week … missing body parts, being crushed by buildings, the greatest majority, or bomb explosions, the next greatest majority. We've taken shrapnel as big as my thumb out of eight-year-olds. And then there's sniper bullets. I have children that were shot twice."


When asked, “You're saying that children in Gaza are being shot by snipers?" Perlmutter replied, “Definitively.”

He added, “I have two children that I have photographs of that were shot so perfectly in the chest, I couldn't put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately, and directly on the side of the head, in the same child. No toddler gets shot twice by mistake by the 'world's best sniper.' And they're dead-center shots."

10. Do your own research

There are dozens of video interviews with IDF soldiers bragging about shooting children and women. Here's a couple:

[SunSeeker]

14. Other than that oddly truncated Dec. 2023 clip played on various Arab news outlets, do you have anything else?

That Instagram and Arabnews link you cite both go to the same tik tok clip of a supposed "Israeli soldier" speaking in English saying he was "looking for babies, but there are no babies." It made the rounds on various pro-Palestinian sites, but no mainstream outlet carried it, let alone confirmed that it is what the tik tok post says it is.

The Al Jazeera clip basically says the fact that kids are getting shot in a war zone is proof that kids are targeted. But anyone running around in an active war zone has a high probability of being shot, whether they are targeted or not.

Today it's theo von via tiktoker melsmitie who likes to repost YourFavoriteGuy's anti-Semitic content.



* Sagaar Enjeti told Tucker Carlson last week that Ghislaine Maxwell is a political prisoner in jail for a victimless crime and that he wants The Hague to open an investigation.

**Algemeiner was bewilderingly characterized by someone as a "NYC Jewish newspaper" in an effort to validate its right-wing spin.

24. Trump put a stop to bringing injured Gaza kids for treatment in US

He probably can’t handle MS Rachel befriending them)

“All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days.- “Dept of State

Aaron Mate (Gabe Mate’s son)
These "visitor visas" are issued to Palestinian children wounded and maimed in Israeli bombings of Gaza who come to the US for medical treatment. Now the Trump State Dept. is cutting them off after some fanatic anti-Palestinian bigot influencers complained. The cruelty is beyond comprehension.

[womanofthehills]

25. State Dept is disgraceful

?s=46&t=YZgyyp4w_z7vW3neKxa6cQ

🚨 BREAKING: After far-right influencer @lauraloomer raged online about a few severely injured Palestinian children arriving in the U.S. for life-saving medical interventions, the State Department announced it has suspended all visitor visas for individuals from Gaza.

On Twitter, the State Department indicated no more children in urgent need of medical treatment will be allowed into the U.S. “while it conducts a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days.”

Loomer had tagged Secretary Rubio and the department in a series of frenzied posts yesterday, demanding wounded Palestinian children be barred from receiving medical care in the U.S. The videos she highlighted shared the work of HEAL Palestine, a U.S.-registered nonprofit that arranges specialized, life-saving care for severely injured children from Gaza—children who cannot receive adequate treatment locally—and has brought dozens to U.S. hospitals so far

41. And yet Laura Loomer

...is allowed to take advantage of all the medical technology the US has to offer -- and gender-confrming surgery, no less.

26. Women and children are shot daily by the IDF. Period.

There is no excuse - NONE - for shooting women and children.

So these doctors see all manner of human carnage. Including women shot who are pregnant and have been shot in the uterus and their baby has exploded for God's sake!

This doctor was using that godawful scenario he had the misfortune to witness to raise awareness of the horror and the war crimes.

But instead of being sickened, outraged and demanding an end to the carnage of SHOOTING WOMEN AND CHILDREN, including pregnant ones, some people for whatever reason try to cast doubt on the honesty of the messenger to distract from the larger issue.

I can't think of a single justifiable reason to do that. I mean Palestinian women and children are people too, right? Just like Ukrainian women and children, right? I wonder if these same people question the honesty and veracity of Ukrainian eyewitnesses. If not, what's different?

[SunSeeker]

40. Why post unverified stories that make no factual sense ("15 week fetus shot in the neck")?

There's plenty of verified gore that can be posted here, so why resort to this kind of stuff?

27. Guess Miriam won't be coming to US for treatment

Our State Dept will no longer let Gaza kids in for treatment. . Hopefully- another country will help her. Glad to see good Americans contributing to helping these poor injured kids.

28. They're "just following orders".

He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
