The U.S. and Israeli bombardments of Iran have devastated tens of thousands of civilian facilities, the Iranian Red Crescent Society says, killing over a thousand civilians so far and damaging infrastructure considered completely off limits in war time like schools and hospitals.

Over 82,000 civilian structures have been damaged by U.S. and Israeli bombardments, the group reported this week.

This includes 62,000 homes, 498 schools, and 281 medical centers, hospitals, and pharmacies, the Red Crescent reported. Seventeen Red Crescent bases and 94 ambulances and rescue vehicles have also been damaged.

know they will not be held accountable even if the ICC/ICJ process happens. There will be long legal battles and even if indictments are eventually issued they will evade them and live like royalty.

People don’t want to be associated with rampant murder and corruption and when Israel bombs schools and hospitals they are doing murder

But, Iran doesn't have an ocean front. How is trump going to make money off this? Bibi is still clearing out Gaza before they can start building that resort.

You were offed in Gaza, like the 75,000 Palestinians, while your makers - the West - stood mute and complicit.

There is just raw power now.

No need even for BS gaslighting like "human shields" to save delicate consciences eager to swallow it. Turned out the West had none anyway.

Just despairing now...
