‘We give birth only to lose them’: Injured Palestinian mothers grieve for babies killed in Gaza

Despite the occasional groans of pain, the relatively quiet hallways of the Gaza ward at Hamad Hospital in Doha are starkly different from the overwhelmed medical facilities in Gaza. Behind every door is a story of a miraculous survival tainted by inconsolable loss. Mothers being treated for life-altering injuries can finally begin to process the loss of a child and struggle with their diminished ability to care for their surviving children.

As Israel commits genocide.

It's interesting because I don't recall coming across articles like these back during the Afghanistan invasion when many, many more children died. Were those women not as interesting to CNN or...

R1, you're about as subtle as an ambush on a field of concertgoers.

R2, I'm guessing they weren't a concern to Republicans like you, since you guys supported Bush's wars

Good. Let them remember for generations what happens when you pull a 10/7 on Israel. Japan had two of their cities glassed and it's done wonders for them. Sometimes in the short-term we fail to see the long-term benefits, it's human nature.

At this point - all Israel is doing is creating a couple of generations of future terrorists.

You're repulsive R5.

r4 is both a Hamas AND an Al Queda supporter. There was no way to get them out of Afghanistan than an actual invasion.

You are a moron R6. Did our absolute destruction of Germany and Japan create a couple generations of Nazis and Militaristic Japanese? The Palastinians will think twice before attacking, kidnapping, raping and murdering civilians.

I know that R2 wasn't REALLY asking for a response and, one presumes, fully supports the slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinians, but one of the (many) differences here is social media -- and, most specifically, TikTok. If your main (or only) source of news and information these days is the old guard of traditional broadcast and print/digital media -- your CNNs, NY Times, NBC News etc you are not experiencing this war the way many younger people are via TikTok and Instagram. Every day there are thousands of reports, clips and interviews from smaller independent outlets and citizen journalists documenting the death and destruction in Gaza in graphic, unflinching detail.

And, it's not just independent and citizens journalists, but ordinary Palestinians who are, as a population, educated and technologically savvy. Palestinians have a literacy rate of nearly 98%. Contrast that with Afghanis' literacy rate of 37%. The circumstances made it easier to brutalize a more rural, more sparsely populated and less educated population.

The kids at universities have it right. As they have had with virtually every student protest movement since the Civil Rights era. They're on the right side of history and they'll look back at this period with deep shame for how our country funded and was complicit in Israel's disproportionate reign of terror. By then, all the bitter, racist, xenophobic and heartless eldergays on here calling for the total antihalation of a people will be nothing but dust.

No one is calling for total "antihalation" (you mean annihilation?) of Palestinians.

Gaza/Hamas started a war that Israel is now fighting. When Gaza/Hamas surrender the war will be over.

The white supremacist racism that so many have when it comes to this conflict is unmistakeable - poor brown muslims can't control their actions, where as these evil Jews should know better after the Holocaust.

What an obnoxious part of the world.
