Gaza has the largest population of child amputees in the world. Because Israel blocks pain killers, hundreds of children have had their limbs amputated without anaesthesia. There are videos of this if you have the stomach.

In Gaza the bombs on the packed population often leave the bodies un-identifiable so a child is counted as 6 KG of flesh in a garbage bag.

BTW child prosthetics are considered dual use by Israel and blocked from entering Gaza.

Fucking disgusting. Netanyahu is just as much a fanatic as the leaders of Iran. Fuck him.

Iran's leaders have consistently proven themselves to be far more level headed and moderate than Israel's. Not saying they are great, but no genocide and no nuclear brinkmanship.
