"So Horrific": Doctor Recounts Treating Patients in Gaza Injured in Massacres Enabled by U.S. Bombs

[Uncle Joe]

Tanya Haj-Hassan is a pediatric intensive care physician who has volunteered in Gaza multiple times over the past 10 months. She joins us to recount what she witnessed there and to explain why she is calling for an end to U.S. support for the Israeli military and the resumption of comprehensive humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. Over the course of Israel’s assault, Haj-Hassan has treated victims of “massacre after massacre,” with injuries and casualties “enabled by American bombs.” She joins demands for Palestinian voices to be allowed to address the convention onstage and argues that Democratic Party leadership’s refusal is part of a systematic “process of dehumanization” targeting Palestinians.

1. Every fucking American made bomb which maims or kills an innocent

somewhere in the world, I helped pay for. I fucking hate that. I’m 75, and I’ve hated it ever since I was old enough to know it was happening. I will die hating it.

I do not sanction killing in my name using weapons constructed with my money.

2. Ah yes... "end military support for Israel" eh? Because Hamas is the ONLY threat to Israel? Please.

Israel doesn't want innocent civilian casualties and deaths... HAMAS WANTS IT!! 1) Because they are cowards, and 2) because they value dead/injured civilians more as PROPAGANDA.

Hamas knows that outlets like the Democratic-party hating "Democracy Not!" are absolutely drooling and damn-near orgasmic when it comes to giving breathless nonstop coverage of every manufactured opportunity to smear the Democrats, our Democratic candidates and the Biden Administration.

The fact is, and will always remain that if Hamas genuinely cared about civilians or other non-Hamas individuals... then Hamas would cease hiding among civilians. They would stop stockpiling weapons, or having operation centers in/around/under places like hospitals, schools, refugee centers, markets, etc.

But, instead they CONTINUE to do all the things that put non-combatants in harm's way. Why? (I ask rhetorically... I think we all know the reasons why.)
