American Surgeon Who Volunteered in Gaza Says IDF Snipers Shoot Toddlers

An American surgeon who volunteered in Gaza told “CBS Sunday Morning”
in an interview that aired Sunday that Israeli snipers were purposely
shooting Palestinian children, including toddlers.

“I had children who were shot twice,” said Dr. Mark Perlmutter, who
said he was in Gaza at the end of April and the first couple weeks of
May. “I have two children that I have photographs of that were shot so
perfectly in the chest I couldn’t put my stethoscope over their heart
more accurately and directly on the side of the head in the same
child.”

Perlmutter added, “No toddler gets shot twice by mistake by ‘the
world’s best snipers.’ And they’re dead-center shots.” Other foreign
doctors who volunteered in Gaza gave a similar account to The Guardian
back in April, saying Israeli snipers were shooting children in the
head.

Earlier this month, the Israeli outlet 972 Magazine published a report
citing Israeli soldiers that detailed how the Israeli Defense Forces
(IDF) in Gaza essentially had no restrictions on who they could shoot.
The report said the IDF “routinely executes” civilians who enter areas
the military deemed “no-go zones,” and it detailed shootings where
young children were killed.

In his interview, Perlmutter, vice president of the International
College of Surgeons, said what he saw in Gaza was worse than all of
the disaster zones he’s seen combined. “Forty mission trips, 30 years,
Ground Zero, earthquakes. All of that combined doesn’t equal the level
of carnage that I saw against civilians in just my first week in
Gaza,” he said.

When asked if the civilians he saw wounded or killed were mostly
children, Perlmutter said, “Almost exclusively children. I’ve never
seen that before. Never seen that. I’ve seen more incinerated children
than I’ve ever seen in my entire life combined. I’ve seen more
shredded children in just the first week.”

Asked what he meant by “shredded” children, Perlmutter explained,
“Missing body parts, being crushed by buildings, the greatest
majority, or bomb explosions, the next greatest majority. We’ve taken
shrapnel as big as my thumb out of eight-year-olds.”

According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, nearly 16,000 children have been
killed by the Israeli assault on Gaza, and about 38,000 have been
wounded, which includes many amputees. Due to the Israeli siege,
children’s limbs have been amputated without anesthetics.

Some other testimonies like that, which are clearly rubbish!

"Fleets of helicopters fly over Nablus at night dropping a dense,
green toxic gas over the city."
(totally insane)

"Zaher Kuhail, a British-Palestinian civil engineering consultant and university
professor who was nearby at the time, told the BBC that what he had witnessed was
'beyond imagination'.

'I saw two rockets coming from an F-16 or an F-35 [fighter jet], shelling these
people and killing them ruthlessly, without any mercy,' he said."
(It later turned out that the hospital was hit by an Islamic Jihad rocket,
see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Ahli_Arab_Hospital_explosion)
