    We speak with Dr. Seema Jilani, a pediatrician who spent two weeks in Central Gaza volunteering in the Al-Aqsa Hospital emergency room. "I saw the fall of a hospital before my very own eyes," says Jilani, who shares recorded voice notes from her time in the besieged territory while trying to save children in a health system collapsing under Israeli pressure and bombing. "I have never treated this many war-wounded children in my career." Finally, Jilani shares why she continues to serve as a doctor in war zones with the International Rescue Committee. "It is the absolute honor of my life to serve the people of Gaza," she says. "It is all of our responsibility to consider those orphans, consider those families who are completely bereft of any and all human dignity that has been taken from them. … Their fate will sit with us."

      Zahir Muhsein was a Palestinian leader of the pro-Syria As-Sa'iqa Ba'athist faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization between 1971 and 1979.
      In an interview with Trouw Magazine, 31. March 1977 he stated....."The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel and for Arab unity.
      Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad, aired by Al-Hekma TV on March 23, 2012. Stated.....
      .....we all have Arab roots, and every Palestinian, in Gaza and throughout Palestine, can prove his Arab roots - whether from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, or anywhere. We have blood ties. Personally, half my family is Egyptian. We are all like that. More than 30 families in the Gaza Strip are called Al-Masri ["Egyptian"]. Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians. We are Arabs.

      Sure, but it's that special Jewish kind of genocide where Israeli & Palestinian populations increase at pretty much the same rate, for generations, and where Arabs appear fleshed out rather than gaunt and shriveled, become educated, drive cars, wear glasses and carry around iPhones.
      Meanwhile in living memory Baghdad's population went from a quarter (some sources say a third) Jewish to zero. More than a half-dozen other Arab countries are now judenrein as well.
      The Arab commitment to xenophobia, ethnic cleansing and genocide is not only loud and clear from the speeches of many Arab & Muslim leaders and from the howls from their streets, it also creates facts on the ground.
      Are you beginning to understand how loathsome is the ideology you propagate?
      In the face of Arab savagery both in and out of the I-P context, Israeli goodwill and optimism has been dissipating. After 10/7 Israel may decide it has to fight by the morality of the Arab Muslim Middle East. The other leaders of the region will make the expected public noises, but they very well understand this morality having confronted it, and often enough deployed it, for decades.

      There are no innocent Gazans. A population that sends thousands of murderers is almost entirely involved in one way or another. The school books, teachers and clerics teach them to murder Jews and anyone who is not Muslim. The residents of Gaza elected Hamas in free elections because Hamas promised to kill Jews and all non-Muslims. Unfortunately, on October 7 Hamas kept his election promise. On that day the residents of Gaza cheered around dead naked bodies in the streets of Gaza and distributed sweets to the kids and celebrated.

Which means that what Hamas did on Oct 7th 2023 is called 'self-defence'... or do you imagine that the Palestinians have no right to defend themselves against their occupiers' aggression? And according to International Law, they DO have the right to self-defence, by any means necessary! Because all this most certainly did NOT start on 07/10/23... but much, much earlier!
      Besides which, killing 30,000 civilians, mostly women and children - over 12,000 children, FFS! - wounding another 70,000 and rendering nearly 2 million homeless by destroying not only their homes, but ALL civilian infrastructure, including schools, universities, and even virtually ALL hospitals, thus making Gaza totally uninhabitable, is NOT 'self-defence'...

    Her stories have reduced me to tears.....we should all be very thankful to this woman and others like her who risk their own lives to help others. As well for sharing these stories and reliving these terrible moments to waken the world to the inhumanity of it all. The tragic death of the UNRWA worker Dr. Jilani's described as she cared for him in his last moments just underscores the selflessness and the heroic service of any and all "aid providers" who have been dispatched to this war zone. The fact the world is little to doing nothing to stop this carnage is revealing the core of who we really are as a people.

    Thank you for this interview Democracy Now and Dr. Jilani for what you are doing and have done. What strikes me as different about the situation in Gaza compared to other war zones is that the people in Gaza are basically trapped. Normally women and children are able to flee the worst areas of battle. In Gaza they can't. Even places designated as so called safe zones are not and the Isreali military regime have made public statements clearly stating that there are no innocents in Gaza, that they are all Hamas. It's beyond sickening. Targeting with bombs, shell's, bullets and now propaganda the humanitarian aid agency that is trying under very dangerous conditions to provide relief to the people that the Israelis have vowed to kill, men, women and children collectively. May God be with Palestinians and all of us who are crying out, Ceasefire Now!

    • @yisraelwoolf2936

    - Netanyahu let the attack happen on his own country, despite knowing about the attack 3 days before it happened.
    - Music festival was organised with lot of foreigners just 3 miles away from the border. On whose order?
    - Music festival was extended by one day as the attack did not happen when it was thought to happen. On whose order?
    - Noticing that music festival casualty were less, used IDF to increase the casualties in the music festival. On whose order?
