Barely scratched surface, but it’s now deaths from diarrhea, a small cut in yr foot, & other what shd be mundane ailments. And then situations of being burned alive from yr tent being bombed or freezing to death (in 50 deg weather!) from yr tent being rained on.

And also, after being bombed, sawing off limb(s) of thousands of children, many of whom also had no access to anesthesia.
And as other aid’s scarce, so are pads & tampons… along w/ privacy. And it’s not like they fled w any extra cloth. Last I read, tented areas had outdoor bathroom / 500 ppl. 8/

Compare that to the reaction to Oct 7 heavily debunked lie of ripping the baby out of a pregnant woman’s stomach. 1 instance vs idk how many thousands forced into unanesthetized c-sections, often in the dark (Isrl destroyed much of Gaza’s infra, incl power, long before Oct 7) 7/

Even CNN’s written about the (formerly) secret torture prison Ste Teiman.
But women still give birth—c sections included—after the anesthesia run out, when the local hospital’s out of service, when no drs can be found, when house for recovery’s been bombed, when too malnourished to nurse. 6/

b/c unexpected level of backlash, “Israel wld NEVER bomb a hospital”. And then to think of what else cld’ve been done w all the effort Isrl, the State Dept, western pols & media put into constructing the lie. It was later re-bunked, but only after the mainstream lost interest, as is the pattern. 4/

Bs propaganda abt Hamas aside, u’r correct abt Gaza’s reproductive situation.
Aside from Israel blowing up major IVF center months ago (shortly after Alabama bill), they’ve also been taking anesthesia out of aid trucks—or at least those that make it that far from miles of trucks w food rotting. 2/

If you follow Israeli media, you’ll see time & again that the people leading this thing clearly don’t want the hostages back. (Also open admission to what the west says isn’t happening.)
Pretty sure there was even at least 1 inst Hamas tried to give a few back early on but Israel wldn’t accept them.

And how many of thousands Palestinian hostages? Over how many decades? No one ever brings them up—or any other reason, including the main one, why attacks happen & why groups lk Hamas exist. But then again, acceptance of Nelson Mandela seems to be outside context of necessary violence of the ANC. 2/

Got what you meant by “Gaza ppl”.

Uncommitted wasn’t even a “no” in a fake primary & still it ultimately capitulated after getting none of what they were asking for. And still way too many angry & not even trying to listen to a group trying to peacefully protest genocide of their family.

Hamas has called for negotiations since at least Oct 9. And Sinwar accepted a deal just before Rafah, mid-May.
Few months later, Hamas accepted diff deal US put fwd, but Israel had issues b/c wasn’t a “cease”-“fire” like in Lebanon, where Hebz has to “cease” but Israel’s allowed to “fire”. 2/

Y’r missing my point entirely. And why are you singling out Rashida Tlaib? It’s the power structure of the party, which ensures there’s always a Joe Manchin & the will of the people will be subverted if it in anyway interferes with wealth accumulation. “Wanting to” is irrelevant.

Then might want to look at what’s actually going on in Gaza rn bc then the “Gaza people” not saying what you—observing, not that closely, from the outside—want them to say, will look lk a petty excuse not to deal w Dems’ use of LGBTQ & reprod as carrot to avoid econ issues that’d alienate donors.

Oh, also can’t figure out (or find any photos of) where the putative subway platform entrance to a passageway to the Hotel New Yorker is (though supposedly you can request a tour from the hotel side, but I think it stops abruptly at MTA cinderblock).
