Not a lib

I need to be really careful here not to tread into any anti-vaxx territory here but this is just sus af. Why would they take a break from the mass-murder of children to ensure those same children are vaccinated against polio?

Not to mention that the vaccine is going to be administered by the UN - an organisation who have lost nearly 400 employees during this holocaust. Why would the Zionist entity suddenly change their tune and say "Oh, right this way, come on in!"

Is it a photo op? Are they legit worried that polio will spread to their soldiers?

There must be some ulterior motive, right? This just doesn't make sense. WTF is going on here?

(btw be warned there's lot of brainworms antivaxxers in the Twitter comments there, god damnit they make me so mad)

    al jazeera reported in july that the gaza ministry of health said they had detected poliovirus in sewage

    Gaza’s Ministry of Health said it had detected “component poliovirus type 2” in coordination with UNICEF, the United Nations children’s agency.

    Earlier, the Israeli Ministry of Health said it had evidence of the “component poliovirus type 2”, found in sewage samples taken inside the Gaza Strip.

    It instructed the Israeli army to vaccinate all troops in the Gaza Strip as well as those who are about to enter, and recommended a booster for those already vaccinated.

    The discovery of poliovirus came after a European activist group released a report saying the Gaza Strip is “drowning” in hundreds of thousands of tonnes of human waste and rubble from the war.

    UN health agencies started a global campaign in 1980 to eradicate polio, most often spread through sewage and contaminated water, but there has been a resurgence in recent years in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

    so this comes a little over two months later, which is probably about as fast as the u.n. could organize getting some vaccines to gaza.

      I’m so over this bullshit, people talking about Israel “rushing” vaccines to Palestinians when they’ve taken as long as humanly possible to delay it before spinning it as a propaganda tool
