“Among the children was Fadi Alzant, 6, a gaunt boy with pale skin and strawberry blond hair who appeared dazed as the crowd rushed around his wheelchair. An airport employee grew agitated and shouted at people to disperse and to put away their cameras.
Fadi, who has cystic fibrosis and weighs about 25 pounds, is suffering from severe malnourishment caused by famine, according to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, which coordinated the children’s journeys with assistance from the World Health Organization.”
The other children included Adam Abu Ajwa, 11, from Gaza, whose shelter was bombed on Jan. 16 by a grenade and a rocket, killing his mother and brother, according to the relief fund. The rocket caused Adam to fly into the air, damaging his head and seriously hurting his lower body. His sister, Zaina Abu Ajwa, 26, was also badly injured in the attack and flew with him to Kennedy Airport, where they boarded a flight to South Carolina.
A few feet away, people gathered around Saja Bilal Junaid, 3, the youngest of the children. Saja’s head was covered entirely in bandages except for a small opening for her eyes, nose and mouth.
Her face was charred with third-degree burns after an Israeli airstrike hit her home at Jabalia refugee camp, the aid group said. She is being taken to a hospital in Dayton, Ohio, because it was not possible for her to be treated in Gaza, according to the group

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/03/health/covid-vaccines-side-effects.html“ All vaccines have at least occasional side effects. But people who say they were injured by Covid vaccines believe their cases have been ignored.”
“At least long Covid has been somewhat recognized,” said Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist and vaccine expert at Yale University. But people who say they have post-vaccination injuries are “just completely ignored and dismissed and gaslighted,” she added.”

It's so incredibly clear that the police stood aside and let a pro Israeli lynch mob run wild at UCLA. They did nothing for two hours as violent Zionists assaulted students, launched fireworks into the encampment, and sprayed mace on students.

Weird malathion on cannabis story
https://www.kob.com/new-mexico/new-mexico-cannabis-manufacturer-files-lawsuit-against-cannabis-control-division/Can’t make this up. State does not test cannabis for Malathion as Malathion is illegal in NM. So you can sue the state because your cannabis crop passed the state pesticide test even though it was sprayed with malathion. Only mention this because in the 90’s the state sometimes sprayed malathion for mosquitoes out of a truck down the streets & malathion can cause reactive airway disease causing trouble breathing among other side effects
Iran Says the Deadly Israeli Strike in Damascus Will Not Go Unanswered
As war escalates, many worry for our troops.
“Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, said Israel would be punished for the strike, which killed three top commanders.
The strike, on part of the Iranian Embassy complex in Damascus, killed three generals in Iran’s Quds Force and four other officers, making it one of the deadliest attacks of the yearslong shadow war between Israel and Iran.
In a statement, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, vowed that Israel would be “punished by the hands of our brave men.”
President Ebrahim Raisi of Iran said the attack was an “inhumane assault in brazen violation of international law,” in comments reported by Tasnim, a semiofficial news agency. He added that it would not go unanswered, but gave no details of how Iran might respond.“
