Dr. Mark Brauner discusses the dangers of “Israel” altering the composition of infant formula, leading to dehydration and malnutrition in newborns. In addition to the “Israeli bombing” of the Gaza Strip and the blockade, Israel continues its plan to completely exterminate the people of Gaza.

ICE didn't exist before 2003. It was born out of the War on Terror — the same political project that expanded U.S. wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia. Now the same infrastructure surveils immigrants in Minneapolis and bombs journalists in Gaza.

To be an Israeli soldier in Gaza is the dream of every psychopath. They can rape, murder, steal and brag about it. That's why so many Americans are in Gaza. How many Israel supporters does it take to change a light bulb? Two. One to kill little kids and the other to call you an antisemite.

Israeli court blocks life-saving cancer care for boy, 5, due to his Gaza address
Palestinian boy has been in the West Bank since 2022 but is still registered as a resident in the strip where ban applies An Israeli court has rejected an appeal to allow a five-year-old Palestinian boy with an aggressive form of cancer to enter Israel for life-saving treatment, citing a government policy that bars residents registered in Gaza from crossing the border, even when they no longer live there. In a ruling issued on Sunday, the Jerusalem district court dismissed a petition seeking permission to transfer the child from Ramallah to TelHashomer hospital near Tel Aviv for a bone marrow transplant – a procedure unavailable in either Gaza or the occupied West Bank. The boy has been in the West Bank since 2022 where he was receiving medical care unavailable in the Gaza Strip. His doctors have determined that he urgently requires antibody immunotherapy.
