Gaza Hospital Crisis and Humanitarian Impact

I want to take you

through what Gaza looks like when a hospital is totally overrun.

You're getting waves of patients. Who do you prioritize?

What do you have to treat them?

You've got no pain medicine to give the people whose legs have been blown off.

Three surgeons all working on one little girl for, what, two and a half hours?

And she's probably going to lose her right leg, left leg, and her left arm.

And she's starting to wake up. Let's get her warm.

As a Jewish physician, I knew nothing about Gaza.

Like most Americans, I thought everybody

out here were nothing but terrorists because that's what I was told.

I'm not Israeli. I'm not Palestinian.

I'm not Christian. I'm not Muslim. I'm not Jewish.

I don't really have any connection to it.

But as an American, I just don't want my government involved in crimes.

I'm a Palestinian. I'm not a spokesperson. I'm a human being. I'm a U S.

doctor who wants to see babies like my babies not be killed anymore.

What surprised me most was

how the carnage was focused on journalists, health care workers, and children.

This bomb.

Where was that? That bomb hit the building.

There was a 15 year old kid ready for discharge that was incinerated.

And if I had gone down and been changing that kid's dressing,

there would have been three bodies and I would have been one of them.

When they hit a hospital, that's a deep tragedy that

people will feel in the community or the foreseeable future.

We're just asking that hospitals not be targeted.

Why that conversation is derailed in the United States is beyond me.

We do not have to accept that as Americans.

The United States could stop sending jet fuel, bombs, all sorts of weapons.

This is a political problem. We need a political solution.

We're a good pair.

You talk intelligently and I talk emotionally.

It's on us to make sure that their stories are told.

I couldn't go to Palestine. I got rejected.

And then I come back to

the United States and get detained by the Department of Homeland Security.

This is what my tax dollars did. What your tax dollars did.

What my neighbor's tax dollars did.

They have the right to know the truth.

Perot's the right one to listen to.

He is about fairness and he is about doing the right thing.

You know we're not dating, right?

You don't have to talk me up this much.

I just met her five minutes ago.
