How the U.S.-Israeli Strikes on Iran Have Damaged Schools and Hospitals (Gift Article) The Times has verified U.S.-Israeli strikes on at least 39 schools and hospitals, a fraction of the devastation so far.

Bombing a couple of schools MIGHT be considered an accident, but 763?!!!
That's a lot more war-crimey. And unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Israël annonce suspendre les achats d'armement français. C'est une bonne chose que nos armes ne soient plus impliquées dans l'action génocidaire de cet état par contre c'est toujours triste que ça ne soit, encore, pas à notre initiative ce qui nous aurait fait honneur plutôt que démentir l'évidence
