Israel Raids Nasser Hospital, Arrests Staff in Latest Assault on Gaza Medical System | Only Sports And Health

As Israeli forces raid Nasser Hospital in Gaza, trapping hundreds of patients there and arresting medical staff, we speak with emergency room physician Dr. Thaer Ahmad, who just recently returned to the United States after three weeks volunteering at the hospital. “We’re just asking that hospitals not be targeted, that they not be bombed, and that doctors and nurses can provide for their patients without being worried that they may be killed, that they may be abducted or arrested,” says Ahmad. “We need a ceasefire now. Hospitals need to be protected and functioning.” He also criticizes the American Medical Association for speaking out against Russian attacks on hospitals in Ukraine but staying silent on much more widespread attacks on medical facilities and personnel in Gaza.

    The US continues to financially support and arm Israel Netanyahu to continue Ethnic Cleansing – 75 years of occupational slavery. USA has already approved millions and millions more for Israel for the war in Palestine.; HAMAS / Palestine Liberation Movement for Autonomy Freedom from Occupation and Slavery. The US Armament companies continue to make great progress The US has no interest in ending the war, just as Israel continues with the war to ethnically cleanse the Palestinian people

  2. Every time I hear the term '' Western Values '' all I see is domination and resource stealing , all disgusting and arrogant. The US Congress was invaded by Netanyahu and still is , now in the mind instead of physically , either way Netanyahu has taken over the US SMH We don't have a free country , our country is owned by a war criminal from outside the borders .

  5. Theyre still looking for their people. Return the hostages the fighting will cease. But free the palestinians from hamas. Now the 'palestinians' are rising up in other nations. Its not just Israel they want now, is it?

  6. How can US and UK governments support this? Why is AMA not taking out ads about this and have become vocal about this? Shelling an ambulance that was given IDF permission to rescue? Shelling a UN aid convoy that was given permission to pass? It's beyond pale.

  7. This article exposes Israel and shows their reality

    Who is Israel?

    In 1899, during the second Zionist meeting of Theodor Herzl with the wealthy and educated Jews, a sharp dispute broke out between some Jewish intellectuals over the statement that would be issued by the conference. Whether they should write “a national home for the Jews” or “a Jewish state” to indicate the religious character, Herzl answered them

    by writing “a national home for the Jews,” and the general Jews would understand it as a Jewish state. Herzl's quest was not primarily a religious quest; Rather, he was a nationalist par excellence. He began to resort to the major colonial powers, relying on the money

    and prestige of Jewish businessmen such as the Rothschild family, as he sought to gain the sympathy of the Ottoman Empire, and when he failed, he began to attract the sympathy of France, Italy, and finally Britain.

    Zionism views the Jews as a people and not as followers of a religion, and feeds that view with racist and nationalist tendencies that see the Jew as a superior human being, just as Adolf Hitler viewed the German as superior to all humans. When Israel emerged from the womb of Britain; It relied on non-Jewish hands.

    If it had been a religious entity, it would have been satisfied with the hands of the Jews, but it relied on the hands of other nations to exist. Among the ranks of its gangs, the “Haganah, Palmach, and Irgun,” were British Christians who

    were fanatical of the right and white supremacy and opposed to everything Arab and Islamic.

    Likewise, if it was a religious entity; It would have adhered to the teachings of its book, which says, “You shall not kill,” but it is far from what the Jewish heavenly religion called for. If it were a religious state, it would have had to be content with its Jewish elements.

    But demographically, Israel includes within it many elements, in addition to the European Ashkenazi Jews – who see in They themselves are high and sophisticated – and the Eastern Sephardic Jews; There are Arabs of Palestine, and they are Muslims and Christians who have remained in their

    lands since the 1948 war, and have obtained Israeli citizenship. They represent about 20% of Israeli society, and among them are members of the Israeli Knesset, and among them was a writer and thinker Azmi Antoine Bishara, and there is also the element of

    the Falashas, ​​who are dark-skinned people who came from Africa, and Dr. Abdel Wahab Al-Messiri said about them – in one of his dialogue meetings – that they are not only Jews, but they include Muslims, Christians, and atheists as well.

    The conclusion that we may draw from this brief presentation is that Israel is not a religious entity. Its foundations upon which it was founded are Zionist thought, and Zionism was never a religious doctrine, but rather a national political doctrine that was affected and influenced

    by European nationalist ideas that appeared from the era of modernity in the 17th century until The twentieth century, and therefore we see the similarity between romantic ideas and Zionism in terms of the homeland of return, eternal return, and organic interconnectedness, as well as the similarity

    between Zionism and German nationalism according to Ratzel and Karl Ritter. Israel is an armed camp that deliberately attracts dispersed elements from everywhere to strengthen its influence and military power there. The demographic elements – which make up Israel and hold its nationality – were never limited

    to Jews only. Rather, you will see that the Israeli government is exercising repression on all elements of its society, starting with the Falash Jews and ending with the religiously fanatical Haredi Jews. If a conflict occurs between any element -Whether leftist or fundamentalist – inside Israel with the government;

    You will see the government practicing all possible methods of oppression, and we have a lesson and memory in the Netanyahu government, and that is the greatest evidence that Israel is not essentially a religious state, as it suppresses the “Haredi” clergy there during their holidays and their usual practices.

    Israel is an imperialist colonial state, that is, it is a state that feeds on the borders and cultures of neighboring countries. If it cannot expand at the expense of neighboring countries – and this is one of the secrets of its survival – it will replace it with expansion at the expense of the cultures of those

    countries, and you will find it usurping the identity of others. Sometimes they say that the Palestinian keffiyeh is Jewish in origin, and at other times they say that Egyptian and Jordanian food is Jewish in origin as well. All of them are failed attempts, especially after the Zionists tried to falsify history and claim that

    The Jews are the builders of the pyramids. Theft and fraud are the main factors for the establishment of that entity, just like the thief who steals and brags about his theft, so he lies, believing his lie. Indeed, more than that, our professor Abdel Wahab Al-Mesiri predicted that this fraud will not stop there, but will reach

    the minds of the Arabs. By theArabs here, I do not mean the ruling elites, but rather the masses, and you will find some who are affiliated with The masses accept normalization. Rather, you see them playing the role of the first Jews or the founding fathers. They are not Jews but Muslims, but they represent Israel and its propaganda

    better than the Jews inside Israel. The thinker Al-Mesiri called them the “functional Jew.” This parasitic, functional being will find you praying with you. Evening prayer. Rather, the matter has evolved into the fact that you will lead the evening prayer.

    Israel is nothing but a parasitic, secular, pragmatic, utilitarian entity that lives at the expense of others, meaning that its population demographically is nothing but diaspora people gathered within one camp, and today the reverse migration has begun to bear fruit, especially after the truth became clear to these people that Israel

    is not the desired “utopia,” and that it is a state. Oppressive and totalitarian, they began to turn back again, as Israel began to demographically erode itself. Israel is nothing but an armed military arm in the East for the benefit of the colonial powers in the West. It is an arm of America, after it had been an arm of Britain. When things

    turned out in favor of America, Israel became its tail. Through that armed arm, it infiltrated as a cancerous entity within the Middle East. America can pass on and practice its colonial hobbies Favorite; “Divide and rule,” causing discord among the Arabs, and Israel strikes the parties of resistance against each other until everyone submits to American economic rule.

    For America, Israel is like an armed punishment that it imposes on the countries of the Middle East to increase political disintegration and dispersion, to ensure its economic dependency on it, so that it does not Those countries exist after this people's day.

    Now it has become clear what Israel is; It is a secular, pragmatic, utilitarian entity that is not governed by a sect or religion, but rather by material benefit that seeks to commit the most heinous crimes of apartheid and genocide that we witness daily. The Arabs must be certain that this entity will inevitably fall, and if time is long, then victory is only an ally. for us.

  8. Apparently some Hamas pretend to work at the hospital but hide there. Israel found at the Nasser Hospital the medication that had been given to the Swiss Red Cross to give to the hostages one month ago. Nothing was given.

  9. Simply the lives of millions of Gazans and their sufferings from the Gaza Genocide of the last 150 days is very little important than the extension of the political life of the Israeli PM. If morality, humanity, fairness and justice would have been alive, the world could have stand up to demand immediate end of the Genocide, killings, supply of foods, water, medicine and humanity to Gazans. President Biden is playing a game for getting elected again and would like to make his Jewish lobby happy and Netanyahu would like to play the extension game to extend his political life, and the worst the world is watching the killing drama day and night doing nothing.

  10. All that bombing volunteer man in u made it safely out. Listen propaganda at its finest . Always remember its those who will believe your lies. But Jesus or lord will always reveal the truth just lies. You think if im in war zone im not filming people like a movie. Yall have propaganda us to death we dont believe shit the news say
