“Every minute we were beaten. I mean all over the body, on sensitive areas between the legs, the chest, the back. We were kicked all over the body and the face. … I told them I’m a doctor, but they didn’t care.”

My Daily Brief today begins with the words of Eyad Abed, a 50-year-old surgeon who was detained by the Israeli military while working at a hospital in #Gaza.

@andrewstroehlein When is that the world will stand against the Israeli abuse over Palestinians? Are they just less than humans? I would love to see a Russian kicking an Ukrainian doctor, levering instant sanctions on that country. But US will never sanction its pal. That's why the rest of the world have to act over that couple, starting with Israel!

@andrewstroehlein @SeattleSanchez But since it’s the Israelis doing it, it’s moral torture, right? Like moral genocide.
