Opinion: I'm an American doctor who went to Gaza. What I saw wasn't war — it was annihilation

As a surgeon, I volunteered at a Gaza hospital. The conditions were unthinkable. With a ground offensive in Rafah, people have nowhere to go

Political theatre. A waste.

Republicans create the worst solutions for problems that deserve adults in the room. Real thinking, absent of barbaric racism.

The abuse of children is truly sinister.

May Florida cease to exist.

Memorial built by concentration camp inmates to commemorate those who died in the camp, Manzanar, Inyo County, 2023.

Just finished reading Life After Manzanar, a book following some of the various inmates of the concentration camp after they were released. In a small part it is "feel good," as some, notably the younger inmates, went on to lead fulfilling and productive lives. Others, especially the older inmates, had their lives destroyed, not a few of them dying not long after their release. Most of the incarcerated were long-term residents in the places where they had been arrested although almost none had criminal records, and many were citizens. On release, some went back to hostile, or at best indifferent, communities where they had once lived. Others staked out lives in new places. Wherever they went after 1945, their human and legal rights had been violated, all of the former inmates had been traumatized, and they had been robbed of a significant part of their lives. They had only one characteristic in common, all were members of a despised ethinic group. It is a grim tale but one which proves "it can happen here."

I knew this would happen eventually after seeing the segment about those eight immigrants sent to Sudan. I knew it was a test run for something big and horrible!

I will disclaim again that I am not a expert, but I have read and seen enough from accounts and expert testimony from lawmakers and human rights advocates to know what a genocide looks like and what this administration is doing definitely qualifies as a genocide!

Before anyone says that I am overreacting, let me ask you this: Why do you think that they are sending these very innocent people to these camps and to countries where torture is legal? I have said this before and I say it again; These criminals want the immigrants dead and forgotten. When the convicted felon is out of office, you Americans better make the next president, congress and senate to have the US join ICC so everyone of these fuckers(I’m dropping f-bombs off here, that’s how mad I am who doesn’t like using them) gets dragged to The Hague for crimes against humanity and see if they are still as smug when they are the ones who are in cages!
