Overnight, Israeli forces committed eight massacres in various areas of the Gaza Strip, according to the Ministry of Health on Telegram, killing at least 84 people and injuring 106. Thousands remain under the rubble of bombed buildings.

Israeli forces shelled and bombed the vicinity of al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS). Amir Abu Aisha, a volunteer with the PRCS, was killed by Israeli gunfire inside al-Amal.

His last post on Instagram was a video of Israeli airstrikes near al-Amal.

PRCS said the medical team inside the facility are “in extreme danger…and are completely immobilized.”

“They are unable to bury the body of our colleague Amir Abu Aisha within the hospital’s backyard,” PRCS continued as Israeli forces razed and excavated the area.

Since October, Israeli bombardment killed at least 364 medical workers in the Gaza Strip, including doctors, nurses, and paramedics, and damaged dozens of clinics and ambulances.

On Sunday morning, PRCS also said that Israeli tanks and forces are “besieging both Al-Amal Hospital and Al-Naser Hospital amidst very intense shelling and heavy gunfire.”

PRCS said that one of the displaced Palestinians at al-Amal was “injured in the head,” while Israeli drones are ordering that all people inside the hospital “leave it naked.”

“Smoke bombs are being launched at the hospital to force the staff, wounded, and displaced individuals to leave it,” the PRCS wrote on in a post on X.

“Israeli vehicles [are] surrounding Al-Amal Hospital and are now bulldozing the area in front and around it and closing the hospital gates with barriers,” the post added.

It's only going to keep getting worse, and Biden will never stop blindly supporting them and sending them my tax dollars.

Oh it's not blind support. It's enthusiastic support!

Look at the opposition. Someone who openly encourages Israel to continue their genocidal campaign.

Yes, it's a lose/lose situation, but statements like yours completely ignore what would be taking place should trump win. It is not a better situation.

Biden was so supportive of Israel killing women and children during its first invasion of Lebanon the acting president had to tell him to chill the fuck out.

Biden is no different than trump on this, he's just smart enough to hide his bloodthirst behind vague language of "international law" and "humanitarian pause" so his election bid isnt destroyed outright.

It's all just empty rhetoric. If they weren't supportive of this genocide then it wouldn't happen, full stop.

It is not a better situation

Biden will never stop helping Israel, and will continue to oppose aid to their victims. Bibi could release a press statement every day saying Biden is his bitch, and Biden would take it.

trump would at least demand they pay him lip service, and he's fickle so there's any number of reasons he'd stop funding their genocide.

In the tiny aspect of Israel, trump might actually be better but for the wrong reasons. Pretty much every domestic issue he's obviously worse.

But Biden has a 0% chance of winning my state. That's not an exaggeration, it takes a young progressive like 08 Obama.

I'm still voting like always, but with Biden not having a chance at my state, there's no benefit from me compromising my morals and voting for a genocide supporter.

It'll be the first time in 20 years I don't blindly vote D for president. And down ballot races still matter, so I'm still voting D for everything else.

But if we don't stand for anything we'll fall for everything. And supporting candidates like Biden just gets us an even more conservative "option" in the next election.

Just a few months ago the worst I thought it would be was continuing to fund Israel, but then Biden went around Congress again to cut support for UNRWA, and all the moderates and Republicans united to include that in the budget

That's just too much, I can't keep going along with it.

If shit doesn't get fixed, you'll cross that line some day too.
