A US Passport Should Not Shield Violence in the West Bank
In a rare quiet moment inside the resuscitation room at Nasser Hospital in Gaza, I stood beside a young Palestinian man helping us treat waves of wounded children. He worked with calm precision. Focused. Unflinching. Then he told me about his brother. Beaten nearly to death by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Not once. Repeatedly. Ribs broken. Face shattered. The attacks ended only when his family fled the land they had farmed for generations. “They wanted us gone,” he said.

American reckoning
I have met people who gave me grace in Iran, in Mexico, in Haiti, in Gaza, in Cambodia, in Vietnam. People who understood the difference between ordinary citizens and the governments that rule them.

The Face of the Other in Gaza | Common Dreams
Nothing prepared me for Gaza. As a US physician trained in emergency medicine, I’ve spent decades in trauma bays across the United States, watching lives come undone. I’ve worked in rural hospitals where people arrived too late and urban trauma centers where they came too often. I’ve seen the machinery of US healthcare grind the spirit out of caregivers and patients alike. But nothing prepared me for the weeks I spent volunteering at a hospital in Gaza. Nothing prepared me for the faces.
Worse Than Fiction: Responding to a Mass Casualty Event in Gaza | Common Dreams
On Tuesday, June 17, the staff at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, experienced a mass casualty event that began at around 9:00 am in the morning and didn’t stop until nearly 6 in the afternoon. It wasn’t one incident. It was a continuous flood of broken, bleeding, dying human beings. By the end of the day, we had seen over 400 patients. Around 250 were critically injured. Ninety died in the resuscitation room, many on the floor.
Starvation by Design: The Hidden Violence of Gaza’s Air-Dropped Aid | Common Dreams
In Gaza, food is not scarce because of drought or crop failure. It is scarce by design. And when you begin to see hunger as something engineered, not accidental, you begin to understand that starvation is not just a humanitarian failure. It is a form of violence. Over the past several days, the Israeli military has resumed air-dropping humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Enforce the Law: Trigger the Leahy Review Now Over IDF Abuses in Gaza | Common Dreams
The Leahy Law is not a fringe idea. It is settled United States law, enshrined in bipartisan legislation that prohibits American tax dollars from funding foreign military units that commit gross violations of human rights. Its purpose is simple and resonates across political lines: accountability.
