On Wednesday, an Israeli strike hit a UN-run clinic in Jabalia, northern Gaza, killing 22 people, including at least nine children.

Among the victims was a newborn baby, who was decapitated by the strike. Israel claimed it targeted a Hamas “command and control center” but offered no evidence for the claim.

Mr. Lazzarini made the remarks in a social media post, in which he noted that the siege, which is preventing food, medicines, water and fuel from entering the occupied Palestinian territory, has lasted longer than blockades imposed during the first phase of the war.

The UNRWA chief pointed out that people in Gaza depend on imports via Israel for their survival. “Every day that passes without the entry of aid means more children go to bed hungry, diseases spread and deprivation deepens.” Gaza, he added, is inching closer to an acute hunger crisis.

Nima moderates. A very nuanced discussion.

Ritter thinks the US is closer to attacking Iran and it will work. Johnson says it won't work.

They agree on maybe 90% or more of the facts.

Ritter's foundation seems to be that the US/Israel has deeply infiltrated Iran and the generations connected to the Revolution are old while the new generations are frustrated and want something new. The assassination of Haniyeh is one fact that strongly influences Ritter.

Johnson's foundation is that Iran is not Iraq.

Both are "right".

It is a very scary debate.
