"Just let me die"
Due to a lack of electricity, surgeries are being conducted by the light of cellular phones, and hospitals no longer have room to take in those deceased, A doctor in Gaza said that a patient he had to work on without anesthesia cried out these words.
With Israel's blockade on the admittance of medical supplies and food within the border, Gaza is in the midst of a serious humanity drama, going into the fourth day of Israeli operations. With death tolls reaching 364 and the number of wounded surpassing 1,400, there are practically no doctors, hospitals or medicine to be found in the region. With a total patient capacity of 2,000, private clinics and hospitals are unable to handle the increasing capacity of hose wounded. The city is limited to six hours of electricity access. Finding clean water is equivalent to a miracle. Due to Hamas' coming to power and 19 months of an Israeli blockade, medical supplies have practically been depleted.
'I constantly hear moaning'
Doctors are praying that help will come as soon as possible. The drama taking place at the city's largest hospital, Sifa, is like a memorial of hopelessness... Despite the destitute conditions, doctors are doing all they can to bring the wounded back to life. Describing the conditions to England's Guardian newspaper, doctors stated; "The corridors are completed filled with stretchers. Meanwhile, not only are there not enough doctors to treat the patients, there is also not enough medicine. Surgeries are being conducted without using anesthesia. Due to the electricity cuts, patients can not be put on medical equipment, nor do the morgues have enough room to take in corpses. The sounds of patients moaning in pain are constantly heard in our minds. In fact, I can still hear the words of a patient who was drenched in blood having had his leg ripped off, saying; for God's sake, just let me die."
THE INJURED ARE BEING TREATED AT HOME
"Because there is no electricity, surgical operations are being done with the light from cellular phones. Due to the constant flow of wounded patients coming into the hospital, corpses are piled one on top of another in a corner of the corridor. Patients nauseated by the blood leaking from the corpses, scream for help from doctors. Many patients are being treated at home due to the lack of space in the hospitals. Meanwhile, the hopeless looks from parents trying to find their children, cuts to the heart."
Congratulations and Thank You
Congratulations and thank you for becoming a Daily Paul moderator, legalizeliberty. Kudos to Michael for taking on an open Nader supporter and volunteer! I sincerely appreciate the opportunity that legalizeliberty, being a Daily Paul moderator helps, I hope, that Nader's wisdom, in how to fight a good fight against corporate power over common citizens, is not lost here on Daily Paul, as it is in MSM (no friend to Ron Paul either).
Re: "Just let me die".
All I see are victims.
Thank you
*Happy New Year to you*

I wish to share a prayer I have just recently put out to the
Universe on a daily basis by lighting a candle on gratfulness.org:
Christlight, unconditional love, gratitude, and forgiveness to all countries and all peoples of the middle east, now. And so it is.
When you light a candle, it stays lit for 48 hours, and is accessible to anyone viewing your candle's page. Groups form to light candles for their cause. Feel free to check gratfulness.org. If enough of us are interested, we could bless this troubled area of the world in a very powerful way with our numbers and create what others would consider a miracle. I will here forth include dp in my group id for those interested in joinng me in this ongoing scientific love experiment. Blessings to all. And so it is.
Love (consciousness) is in everything including the void.

In the tank for Israel for decades..........
Dr. Paul has spoken about Israel before. He said they should be on their own. After all we give them billions in weapons, aircraft, etc. and then forgive the debt (for some mysterious reason) and we've been doing this cycle for decades. They do whatever they want and the U.S. just stands by like a little bitch and whispers that they should not be so aggressive. All the while our own people are loosing their houses, living from friends and family. Loosing their jobs and not one of our so called reps give a shit. Man, some-
thing is surely wrong in the "land of the fools and the home of the dumbed down."
about 50% of their economy
has something to do with their own military industrial complex...the thing is that they even have submarines with nuclear weapons so even if the entire country is destroyed they can still destroy half the planet from the sea.

Interesting how this is not
Interesting how this is not splashed over the cover of the New York Times.
I wonder if Palestinians owned nearly all major media outlets in this country would we ever hear about this?

That would be bad. Let's
That would be bad. Let's not forget about the millions of innocent Iraqis and Afghans that were killed by the American soldiers.
It's such a tragedy. So much unneeded pain and suffering.

"Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves ... politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves... The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country."

That's our

:(
as much as I want to send aid to the Palestinians, I would rather just the US stop all intervention in the area, including aid to Israel. We really need to stop our interventionist policy in the area.
I am Ron Paul 2012!
i don't even know how to respond
it just tears me apart reading about atrocities like this...
RON PAUL IS MY PRESIDENT
Ron Paul is My President
it is a question that bothers me all my life
How can humans be so cruel to other humans.

I pray...

The people of the world
must unite and speak out against the bullies and thugs that are taking control of the world.
Gaza is just one example of the suffering going on everywhere in the world because of Money Masters, behind the scenes, who want power and control over others.
well said
they cook many wars the number one industry on this planet is the weapons industry...the second place is the illegal drugs industry...sad face to represent the human race.
