GENOCIDE
Israeli Army snipers deliberately target children
Among the best trained marksmen in the world, Israeli Army snipers deliberately target children, as witnessed by American surgeons working in Gaza. Upon their return to the US from the European Hospital in Khan Yunis, Dr Mark Perlmutter and Dr Feroze Sidhwa stated that they had “never seen cruelty like Israel’s genocide in Gaza“. Both surgeons had experienced, from the beginning, attending the injured at Ground Zero on 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, the Boston Marathon bombing and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. They thought they had seen the worst brutality, until they came to Gaza.
“We walked through the wards and immediately found evidence of horrifying violence deliberately directed at civilians and even children. A three-year-old boy shot in the head, a 12-year-old girl shot through the chest, an ICU nurse shot through the abdomen, all by some of the best-trained marksmen in the world.“
The surgeons saw that every inch of the hospital’s floor was taken up by displaced families desperately seeking refuge. In the hospital grounds, thousands more civilians are seeking shelter. Airstrikes penetrate walls and flying debris rip apart bodies and penetrate skin, rendering infection–control impossible.
