Three Palestinian babies freeze to death in Gaza as winter sets in
By Tareq El Hilou, Eyad Kourdi, Ibrahim Dahman, Abeer Salman and Sana Noor Haq, CNN (CNN) A newborn baby froze to death in a tent encampment in Al-Mawasi, in southern Gaza, on Wednesday, highlighting the stark challenges to survival faced by Palestinian children displaced from their homes amid Israel’s ongoing assault on the strip. Sela Mahmoud Al-Fasih “froze to death from the extreme cold” in Al-Mawasi, Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, the director general of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, posted on X on Wednesday. In the past 48 hours, Al-Fasih and at least two other infants – a three-day-old and a one-month-old – have died from low temperatures and a lack of access to warm shelter, Dr. Ahmed Al-Farra, the head of pediatrics and obstetrics at Nasser Hospital, in Khan Younis, told CNN.

Abortion
In Bangkok, you don't have to set up an appointment. The stigma here is a personal feeling of guilt, if any. Thailand is not not one of those bigoted "Christian" countries. You are right about Taiwan - but it's not a good idea to fly from Thailand to Taiwan for an abortion. -

Amnesty International "It's a Genocide in Gaza"
A deeply troubling answer to a serious question. Israelis have nowhere else to go, considering 80% of the current Jewish population of Israel was born in Israel. https://www.cbs.gov.il/he/mediarelease/DocLib/2024/141/11_24_141e.pdf Under international law, the Jews born in Israel have nowhere else to go. Your answer implies no other country but the U.S. wants Israeli Jews, which in fact is close to the historical record of expulsion of Jews fom various countries throughout the centuries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsions_and_exoduses_of_Jews It's not at all strange. In Gaza and the West Bank, Israeli Jews are defending themselves against vicious opponents who seek to destroy them and their country. Jews will no longer walk quietly to their annihilation, as Hamas and Israel's other enemies have learned. -
