But Israel has a right to defend itself from the unborn threat. /s

And apparently also the undead threat -- 16 cemeteries bulldozed, per CNN.

Not any more so than the babies left to die in unpowered incubators after that gunpoint hospital evacuation.

Gaza 100 days on: Stop the War on Children

The killing of 10,000 children. Blasts leading to amputation—sometimes carried out without anaesthetics—and lifelong disabilities. Entire populations, including pregnant women and children, facing hunger, a quarter of them (576,600 people) at catastrophic levels, – that means at the risk of starvation and death. Warnings from the UN children’s agency that nearly 335,000 children under five in the Gaza are at “high risk of severe malnutrition and preventable death”. Thousands of children buried under the rubble and presumed dead.

The balance sheet of 100 days of war on Gaza is grim. It is a dark moment in history that we see on our television screens.

do we count death by high explosive as miscarriage ?

Obliterating all the hospitals, laying siege to deny refugees food and water and heat, and using snipers to assassinate medics might also be playing a role in the miscarriage rate.

That's Israel's goal. 🤷

Gaza gonna be gone permanently before this is over.

Israeli soldiers raise flag and sing anthem on Gaza beach

Curiously, Israelis are allowed to say "From the River to the Sea"
