We often hear that we are committing genocide and that we don’t care about the people of Gaza. We are accused of destroying hospitals and not providing any source of care for the people of Gaza. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
We understand that no amount of video we provide will change the minds of those who have embraced hate against us. That is not why we share these updates about Shifa Hospital. These updates are provided so that you can see what the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) is doing to not only protect our homeland but what they are doing to help save the lives of others.
