We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The girls’ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.

“When the first bomb hit the school, one of the teachers and the principal moved a group of students to the prayer hall to protect them,” one of the Red Crescent medics said, citing conversations he had at the time with survivors.

“The principal called the parents and told them to come and pick up their children. But the second bomb hit that area as well. Only a small number of those who had taken shelter survived.”

Rohollah recalls how his daughter wanted to become a doctor.

“She used to tell me, ‘I promise I will become a doctor so you won’t have to pay medical bills anymore.’ I would hold her and say, ‘You are already my little doctor’,” he said.

“When I saw her smile after coming home from work, all my pain disappeared. Now I don’t know what to do with this pain. I don’t know how to live with this.”

This hurts so much.

That's how you create people with nothing to lose.

That is EXACTLY the purpose of this. Israel wants to ensure that this war goes on forever because a constant state of war is exactly what they need to remain in power.

This is heinous, it is the definition of it.

it's hard to find words to express how viscerally upsetting and vile this shit is. there's not even plausible deniability here, they double fucking tapped a school full of CHILDREN. they're doing it on purpose at this point

When you want to create the next generation of 'terrorists' then you don't just do it, you over do it!
