Israeli Military Destroys Gaza's Only Cancer Hospital

The Israeli military has blown up Gaza's only specialized cancer hospital, a Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, along with an adjacent medical school. The destruction has been condemned as part of Israel's "systematic state terrorism" and has left thousands of patients without access to cancer treatment. The hospital was previously damaged in Israeli air strikes and had been rebuilt with a Turkish donation of $34m in 2017. The incident has sparked international condemnation, with the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs calling for concrete measures against Israel's unlawful attacks.

Israeli media outlets have been labeling Palestinian victims as "terrorists" and omitting the toll of the military's bombardment on civilians, particularly children and women.

According to Israeli journalist Orly Noy, this biased coverage is part of a broader phenomenon where the media has invented alternative jargon to describe Palestinian resistance actions.

Noy claims that the media is mobilized to conceal the true impact of the attacks and to allow the war to continue, and that the more Palestinians are killed, the more dehumanization is needed to justify the Israeli government's actions.

She was trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family's home in #Rafah by Israeli occupation forces, before they left Gaza and turned it into a giant concentration camp.

Israeli society isn’t just celebrating the genocide in Gaza—they’re actively participating in it.

In this video, we examine how Israeli society is reacting to what the International Court of Justice has ruled as a plausible genocide. From school trips to watch starving Palestinian children, to night boat tours admiring the destruction, to physically blocking humanitarian aid so more children starve—this is not just complicity; this is active participation.

And that raises a dark moral question: Who is more evil—the Israeli government committing genocide, or the Israeli society enabling it?
