Humanitarian agencies say women and menstruating people are also facing alarming rates of severe infections due to Israel’s blockade of supplies and water.
But did the fetuses condemn Hamas?!?!??1??!1?
Not any more so than the babies left to die in unpowered incubators after that gunpoint hospital evacuation.
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.
Ackmuravatupally a medic or more precisely here a disaster rescue specialist would not be the one to accompany women during pregnancy.
However high stress due to the fact that the Givati Brigade and an Al-Qassam Brigade are using your backyard as their arena for the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny have a tremendous impact
The actual war on the unborn.
Born, unborn you name it.
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.
“If there is a hell on earth today, its name is northern Gaza,” in the words of one senior UN official.
(…)
That’s Israel’s goal. 🤷
“women and menstruating people”
Might be interesting to see the reaction of a gazan doctor when somebody said this phrase to him.
Please find a different whetstone to grind your weird ax on.
Is this important to you?
No, just morbidly funny.
The damage will have been done long long before the people responsible will see any real consequence for their actions :(
Yet Hamas is still fighting the war they started.
And punishing regular Palestinians for what Hamas does goes against the Geneva conventions.
Sure. How do you prove that what IDF is doing is collective punishment instead of warfare against terrorists?
You force a ceasefire and investigate.
How do you enforce it?
Full embargo and then UN peacekeeping forces.
Impossible for a very long list of reasons. I think you know that.
What reasons? I don’t think it’s impossible, it’s what needs to be done, so we better figure out a way to do it.
Those are not even close to being mutually exclusive. The IDF is obviously and openly conducting collective punishment on all of Gaza ostensibly as a means of fighting terrorists. The IDF won’t stop until Hamas is gone and if that means killing every child in Gaza then I’m sure they’ll be glad to know you’re here justifying it.

How do you claim to “obviously” know that?
By having literally any awareness of reality? Ordering an evacuation of a whole area because you’re going to bomb it (even if you know for sure there are terrorists there) is by definition collective punishment. The only counter argument to this is to prove that every single person in that area is a legitimate target.
By having literally any awareness of reality?
You wouldn’t believe the sort of things I’ve heard being justified by starting a claim with “if you don’t see this you must be an idiot”. But it’s still not proof or even evidence of any kind.
It literally is. If I order your whole block to evacuate their homes because I want to blow up a meth lab 3 doors down from you, I am engaging in collective punishment. It’s literally what words mean.
Is Hamas in the room with us right now?
Are you saying that IDF has defeated them already? Or that Hamas never existed at all? What are you suggesting here exactly?
That the IDF calls hospitals Hamas bases they call reporters and UN workers Hamas agents, they call innocent civilians Hamas, refugee bases Hamas, etc even when there’s proof they’re lying. According to the IDF, there’s a hidden Hamas terrorist behind every one of the 30,000 innocent civilians killed 🙄
IIRC there was something about women losing periods in concentration camps. Bodily functions are deeply tied to the mental state too. Even if properly fed and medically secure, I guess they’d still have a spike over fear alone.
Justice being chief among them.
