“This is the 4th attack on a school in the past couple of days…They justify that every time they target a school that there is a Hamas base & that Hamas fighters are in there, but we see that most of those who are injured or killed are Palestinian children women.”
Israeli attack on Gaza school kills dozens, mostly women and childrenaje.io Gaza’s media office says 29 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were killed in the attack on a UN-run school.

I sometimes see people discuss the American left as being intrinsically self-sabotaging, and it feels like any discussion that doesn't factor in the extent to which the mainstream reflexively shuts out and frequently actively crushes leftist activism is wilfully naive.
