Today is the first day I have cried since the first week of the 2024 election. And thank god, I am crying tears of joy for this small gift for a few Palestinian families. Thank you for all your reporting.
Thank you Drop Site. This reporting suggests that maybe, just maybe, joy can survive the abyss of inhumanity rapidly spreading across the globe. I am so thankful for the few victims who have found whispers of life amidst death itself.
The Israeli government destroys hospitals, displaces premature babies, wipes out families—and then United States politicians and corporate media run cover by calling it “self-defense.” This is what impunity looks like.
Not every child has returned to their family. Rola Aldremy, a writer in Gaza for We Are Not Numbers, has reported on her instagram, 3 hours ago, of one instance of a child who's father could not be determined as two men have both arrived with identical circumstances: the mother of their child was martyred during childbirth, and their documents have very similar details.
"A heartbreaking incident happened in Gaza yesterday
One of the premature babies who entered Gaza yesterday became the subject of a dispute between two men, each claiming to be the child's father. The case has been referred to forensic authorities to determine the truth. While it may seem easy to resolve through a DNA test, the real question is: is such testing even available in Gaza? That's the problem.
Journalist Mohammad Daher wrote: When the premature babies arrived from Egypt, families came to receive their children.
It is worth noting that the children were premature when they left-born in the seventh or eighth month-and returned to Gaza at around two and a half years old.
After the children were handed over, one child remained along with two fathers at the delivery point. Both men claimed the same child as theirs, and each had documents proving that the child belonged to him. Their stories were identical: the mother was martyred during childbirth, with matching details.
One of the fathers took the child, on the condition that he would return the next day to the forensic authorities to complete the process of identifying the real father.
Each family has sufficient proof and even a birth certificate for the same child. This situation occurred due to the chaos during their evacuation under extremely harsh humanitarian conditions. They were evacuated without the families' knowledge or information-"those who left, left; those who stayed were martyred."
I followed and documented the story from the moment the children were evacuated at the beginning of the war until their return today. I am in complete shock from what I witnessed. May God help both fathers prove their claims, and may He ease the painful journey of the second father, who will now begin a long and exhausting search for his child without any information or leads"
Apparently you were brain dead on October 7th 2023 when they Palestinian sloths slithered into Israel and raped killed and cooked people.
Israel has had enough of death by a thousand cuts by the PLO and is fully justified to exterminate their aggressors from Gaza and west bank. They are pure vermin. And those, like you, that are their apologists are of equal human quality.
Why do we need so much anger. You have your view, very much pro Zionist. I wish you could understand both sides. For me, a refugee from Nazi Germany, Israel has created another Holocaust but this time, the hatred and destruction of European Jews(and others) has morphed into an intense hatred ofPalestinians resulting in apartheid and genocide with US assistance. One can of course have anger but without true understanding it is in my view meaningless .
Thank you for bring us some joy! Shukrun, Abdel Qader. Thank you, DropSite.

Thank you DropSite for real journalism.

Ecstatic for these families, and terrified for them, all at once. Free Palestine, dissolve Israel.
god willing may the experimental ethno-aparthied state of Israel be abolished

What an incredible story,uniquely Gazan, uniquely heartbreaking and bittersweet. Ya Rabb, lift the scourge of Occupation from Gaza 🤲🏾

This report more necessary than statistics
To be clear - Israeli military attack was on the HAMAS facilities the cowards were hiding inside the Al-Shifa Hospital in November 2023.
Also, that is a pretty big girl for being born a pre-mee just 2.5 years ago. More POLLYWOOD, I expect.
Disgusting! Repeating Israeli lies to justify horrendous attacks on women and children. Always self defense. No! No more!

Dear Don,
Why do we need so much anger. You have your view, very much pro Zionist. I wish you could understand both sides. For me, a refugee from Nazi Germany, Israel has created another Holocaust but this time, the hatred and destruction of European Jews(and others) has morphed into an intense hatred ofPalestinians resulting in apartheid and genocide with US assistance. One can of course have anger but without true understanding it is in my view meaningless .
