Unprecedented War Crimes: Eyewitness Truth in Gaza Hospitals w/ Dr. Thaer Ahmad

We take a step back and listen to some of the untold stories of the only Jewish state, and grapple with our own mixed feelings on the war, Israel, and what it means to belong.

Episode 366: Olive Branch

Israel has ended its assault on the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, because there is nothing left to assault. The facility - the largest medical complex in Gaza where hundreds of civilians had been sheltering - is now an empty, unusable, burnt-out husk. Witnesses report hundreds of corpses in and around the complex, with video footage showing human body parts protruding from the earth and bodies with zip ties on their wrists.

This is the same CNN who at the time reported on the Flour Massacre in ways that advanced Israel's information interests with headlines completely exonerating Israel of any wrongdoing like "At least 100 killed and 700 injured in chaotic incident" and "Carnage at Gaza food aid site amid Israeli gunfire". CNN also repeatedly refers to the killings as "food aid deaths", as though it's the food aid that killed them and not the military of a very specific state power.
