The Israeli Minister of Defense Israel Katz accused the Iranian regime of “war crimes of the most serious kind” after an Israeli hospital was decimated by an Iranian missile.

The Iranian missiles slammed into Soroka Medical Center in southern Israel on Thursday, causing significant damage while leaving 71 individuals with “minor injuries,” according to Israel’s Ministry of Health. Soroka is the largest hospital in the Negev, a large desert region in Southern Israel.

Additional Iranian missiles slammed into a high-rise building, along with several other residential buildings, injuring a total of 271 people on Thursday.

“This morning, Iran’s terrorist tyrants launched missiles at Soroka Hospital in Beersheba and at a civilian population in the center of the country,” stated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “We will exact the full price from the tyrants in Tehran.”

“We accurately hit nuclear targets and missile targets, and they hit a hospital, where people can’t even get up and run away,” he continued. “That’s the whole difference between a democracy that acts according to the law to save itself from the murderers and against these murderers who want to destroy each and every one of us. Every single one of us. Down to the last one of us. I think that says it all.”

Katz explained that Israel will retaliate to the attacks by instructing the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) to “increase the intensity of attacks against strategic targets in Iran and against government targets in Tehran in order to remove threats to the State of Israel and undermine the ayatollahs’ regime.”

“These are war crimes of the most serious kind — and [Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei will be held accountable for his crimes,” he added.

Meanwhile, Professor Asher Bashiri, the director of the maternity ward at the hospital, recounted the aftermath of the attack.

“It looks unbelievable,” he stated. “The upper part of the building is cracked, and fire was coming from it in the first hours. Everything looks broken.”

“We were very, very lucky,” Bashiri continued. “It could have been so much worse. But we are still living in an unbelievable situation. It’s not finished – I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, or the next day. We’re just happy that we’re alive.”

Additionally, Iranian state media responded to the attack, arguing that it was targeting a “large command and intelligence headquarters of the Israeli army and the military intelligence camp located in the Gav-Yam technology park, adjacent to Soroka Hospital.”

“These centers host thousands of military personnel, digital command systems, cyber operations, and the Zionist army’s C4ISR systems,” Iran’s state media continued in a Telegram post. “The hospital was only exposed to the blast wave and sustained no significant damage; however, the military infrastructure was precisely and directly targeted.”

The news of the hospital attack comes as Israel and Iran continue to trade airstrikes following Israel’s “preemptive” strike against Iran last Thursday in an attempt to destroy Iran’s ability to create a nuclear weapon, and potentially topple the Iranian regime.

In a recent interview on Fox News, Netanyahu stated that regime change “could certainly be the result” of Israel’s military offensive, while also seemingly calling on the Iranian people to rise up and topple the regime, adding: “A light has been lit — carry it to freedom.”

COVID-19 Shots Linked to Higher Incidence of Alzheimer’s Disease~Florida Surgeon General Warns Against mRNA COVID Boosters~California Woman Accuses Hospital of Requiring Her Take Three Vaccines

My ears are probably some of the worst part of it. One of the doctors told me I might need to do something like plastic surgery on my ears and reconstruct them because of how my ears have blown up. Obviously, the story is hard to look at… 23-year-old Alexis Lorenze has been sharing her struggles with followers on TikTok. This comes after she was admitted to UCI Medical Center in Orange [County] for a rare and life-threatening blood disorder. For religious reasons, Alexis and her family have long abstained from vaccines. However, she says the hospital informed her that continuing treatment required vaccinations. Alexis says she reluctantly accepted, but says her body had extreme adverse reactions, leaving her battling for her life.

 

WATCH: Biden Visits Children’s Hospital For Xmas Storytime, Gets Weird

AP Photo/Evan Vucci

The Brandon entity and its wife, Lady Dr. Jill, visited a D.C. children’s hospital yesterday, and, as one would expect, things got weird fast.

Via CNN:

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden met with patients at Children’s National Hospital in Washington on Friday, carrying on a longstanding tradition during the holiday season.

The first couple, sporting cloth masks, met with pediatric patients, their families and hospital staff, greeting leadership and emergency department workers. Dr. Biden read Ezra Jack Keats’ “The Snowy Day” before the Bidens visited with children and their families in the cardiac intensive care unit.

“Thanks for coming and listening to me read and have the president hold the book,” she said after reading, as Biden deadpanned, “It’s my job.”

And the president chimed in with a message for parents in the room before departing, saying, “To all you parents, be strong. We spent a lot of time in children’s hospitals with patients too, It’s going to be OK.”

At one point, when Lady Dr. Jill is finished with the reading, after her husband’s stared off into space for several minutes with sugar plums dancing in his head, Brandon requests one of the children sit on his lap before inviting him for a special time at the White House later: “Get up here. Sit in my lap.”

Imagine being one of Brandon’s handlers: all you need from your charge is ten minutes maximum of semi-normal behavior per day for his brief public appearances. The wife will read the book. His job I to sit there quietly, not look too creepy, and polish things off with a few niceties — a protocol which you go over in detail once he’s properly medicated and his eyes are open. But even that is too much to ask for, and when things go south, you get blamed.          RelatedHappy Halloween: The Spooky, Surreal Scene at the White House

No one, no matter how Blue-No-Matter-Who they might be, could honestly watch this compilation and not come away with the firm conclusion that something is very wrong with this picture.

At this point, with all of the evidence in the public domain of Joseph’s predatory nature, including the leaked contents of his own daughter’s diary in which she laments the psychological damage done to her by her father showering with her, parents who still subject their children to the puppet president are negligent.

A Florida woman who found Ashley Biden's private diary is being investigated by the FBI – not for stealing the journal but for selling it, DailyMail.com has learned.

The diary's explosive contents include Ashley's speculation that showering with her father, then-Senator Joe Biden, as a young girl may have contributed to her sex addiction. 

'I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate),' she wrote in a January 2019 entry.

Another angle here is: how many of these poor kids ended up in the cardiac intensive care unit at said hospital because of myocarditis induced by Brandon’s brutal COVID vax mandates targeted at children, despite their statistically insignificant risk of serious illness from the SARS-CoV-2 virus?

Maybe his wife can read that children’s horror tale for the kids next Halloween.

Israel-Hamas war update: Gaza babies evacuate from Shifa hospital

Gaza war update: 31 premature babies were transferred from Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital to another in the South. Those 'very sick' babies are currently in Rafah and will be transported to Egypt on Monday. The Associated Press reports the infants suffered from dehydration, hypothermia, and even sepsis. The Palestinian Red Crescent and UN agencies evacuated the babies to a safer location.

Maya Kowalski Files Criminal Complaint Against Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital for Sexual Assault~Wins $260 Million Groundbreaking Judgment Against JHACH

Maya Kowalski and her family just won a landmark judgment against Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in the amount of $261 million dollars for false imprisonment, battery, and a litany of other injustices. You can read the details of that via the link. But something that came out in the trial outside of the presence of the jury, which wasn't allowed in as evidence, was Maya's testimony that she was sexually assaulted by someone dressed as a doctor while she was being held away from her family in the pediatric intensive care unit. The allegation was not allowed into the trial because it wasn't in the original lawsuit due to Maya disclosing the incident to her attorney after the action was filed. Maya's attorney, Greg Anderson, says they have now filed a criminal complaint against JHACH officially with the police for that assault.Maya told Judge Carroll that she was alone in her room in the PICU when a man with dirty blonde hair wearing glasses and a white coat came into her room and said he needed to "take a peek." He then lowered her pants and underwear and stared at her vagina for a long time which made her feel scared. Maya's parents weren't allowed into the hospital to visit with her except under supervision by a social worker, Cathi Bedy, who also was found by the jury to have intentionally harmed Maya. 

Anderson was interviewed about the new complaint here:

"I can tell everyone that today Maya Kowalski went to the Pinellas County Sherriff's department with my partner Nick Whitney and swore out a criminal complaint against Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital," he said. "I want to be clear that we have not been able to identify a specific perpetrator there," added Anderson. It could have been a staff member, he said, "but it very well could have been someone who snuck in there." 

Anderson said one of the ways JHACH put Maya at risk of such an assault was to treat her like a "non-entity." The other children in the ward had families with them all the time and identifiers on the door with their names and decorations while Maya's room was marked with mysterious color-coded stickers with no nametag. The lack of similarity to the other rooms marked her room as occupied by someone who didn't have familial protection and was a target for a pedophile.

Just when you thought this case could not get worse, it does.

Maya Kowalski Wins $260 Million Groundbreaking Judgment Against JHACH

MEGAN FOX | 1:10 PM ON NOVEMBER 10, 2023

SEE: https://pjmedia.com/megan-fox/2023/11/10/maya-kowalski-wins-260-million-groundbreaking-judgment-against-jhach-n4923808;

It's official. Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital has been found liable for the medical kidnapping of Maya Kowalski, medical malpractice, billing fraud, and driving Beata Kowalski to suicide. In a groundbreaking decision, a Florida jury found the hospital liable for every charge brought forward by the plaintiffs and awarded compensatory damages in the amount of just over $211 million. Then they awarded $50 million in punitive damages against the hospital that colluded with DCS to falsely imprison a medically complex child over false allegations that her mother had Munchausen by Proxy.

There's never been a victory like this before in civil court. Most medical malpractice suits never make it to trial, and this one included the novel cause of action, the intentional infliction of emotional distress that caused the death of Beata Kowalski. The question posed to the jurors on that count is one that will certainly be appealed but survived this jury's bar for liability, and it read as follows:

Did Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, through the acts of its employees, engage in extreme and outrageous conduct, intending that conduct to cause, or with reckless disregard of the high probability of causing, severe emotional distress to Beata Kowalski that was sufficient to be a legal cause of Beata Kowalski's death by suicide?

The answer was a resounding yes. The jury found that the conduct by JHACH created in Beata an uncontrollable impulse to die by suicide, and that conduct was a substantial factor in her death. On just that one count the jury awarded around $104 million.

This is the first time this kind of claim has prevailed in a civil case. The rest of the claims included false imprisonment, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraudulent billing, and medical negligence. The jury was unanimous and they dropped the hammer on JHACH. My only regret is there wasn't a count for the religious discrimination the family suffered. 

Whether the Kowalskis will see any of the money for years to come is unknown. JHACH is sure to tie them up in appeals courts on the wrongful death claim if not others. However, their actions and the consequences of them have been fully aired in the public and no amount of appeal decisions in their favor will repair JHACH's reputation it has earned as child abusers.

Maya Kowalski suffers from a rare pain disease called complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), which the hospital refused to believe and instead accused her mother of falsifying her illness. Even after separating Beata from Maya, she didn't get better, yet the hospital continued to keep the family apart. The hospital was fighting in dependency court to ship Maya thousands of miles away from her family to be housed in "medical foster care."

This type of situation happens to more people in this country than you would want to believe. Rachel Bruno, Drake Pardo, Justina Pelletiere, and Cynthia Abcug are just a few of the cases I've covered here on PJ Media, some of whom have never seen justice for the horrific family-destroying acts perpetrated on them.

This win for the Kowalskis is a win for every family who has ever been falsely accused by an out-of-control medical staff of being a child abuser. Perhaps this huge judgment will reverberate through hospitals that their priority should be to "do no harm" and treat their patients instead of investigating them. One can hope that the insidious partnership between hospitals and malicious state agencies that claim to protect children will cease after this. 

While Maya's nightmare is finally over, a bigger nightmare is beginning for JHACH. A new lawsuit has been filed against them for similar claims. The Kushnir family is suing JHACH and Dr. Sally Smith, the child abuse doctor who kidnapped Maya from her family, with the same lawyers who just won what was called an unwinnable case. 

In a 57-page petition, the Kushnirs allege medical malpractice, negligent hiring, and supervision of its doctors, abuse of process, malicious prosecution, intentional interference with the custodial parent-child relationship, and civil conspiracy. Many of the same doctors involved in Maya's kidnapping are named in the suit. 

The lawsuit includes shocking allegations including false allegations of sexual abuse. 

Based upon the misrepresentations and bad faith allegations of the Defendants, William and Adele were removed from their parents' care and custody for approximately three months, William's condition worsened at the hands of Bayfront Health, JHACH, and their involved physicians and other healthcare providers, and Vadim and Elina were subjected to the Defendants' physical abuse, sexual abuse, and medical neglect misrepresentations and allegations.

JHACH has been hiding some very dark things that thanks to attorneys Greg Anderson and Nick Whitney are all coming out into the light. If you watched Court TV's coverage, though, you'd think Maya Kowalski was a liar. It has been absolutely awful. But anyone with a brain can see that where there is smoke there is fire. 

There are a reported 300 families that USA Today has been looking into who may have been similarly abused by Dr. Sally Smith. This verdict was a resounding vindication for parents who have less and less rights to their children, their education, and their medical care. America has had enough of this tyranny and the perpetrators are going to be held accountable now. 

What should happen next is a state investigation into Dr. Sally Smith, JHACH, and the Department of Child and Family Services, and if found to have engaged in criminal acts, they should face jail time. The House of Representatives in Florida also needs to remove immunity from hospitals and DCF when they use the power granted by the state to abuse the citizenry like this. 

Let's go, people. Now is the time to make this a reality. 

 

IDF: Rocket Misfire From Hamas Hits Gaza Hospital, Fatalities And Injuries Reported~Hamas blames Israel

A Gaza hospital was hit by a botched rocket strike from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which the IDF verified on Tuesday. The exact number of fatalities is still unknown.

Despite claims made by Hamas and several other nations, the IDF claimed to have numerous intelligence sources that proved Islamic Jihad, not Israel, was to blame for the attack.

“The entire world should know: It was barbaric terrorists in Gaza that attacked the hospital in Gaza and not the IDF. Those who brutally murdered our children also murder their own children,” Netanyahu declared on Tuesday.

Before confirming their security evaluation and claiming that PIJ was in fact the facilitator of the explosion, the IDF took two hours to investigate and confirm the details.

“An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said.

The number of casualties, according to Gaza officials, ranged from “dozens to hundreds,” and video footage from the site showed a number of vehicles going up in flames close to the hospital.

The explosion was reported while intense rocket fire from Gaza was being directed into central Israel.

In the Gaza Strip, missile storage facilities are frequently located within or close to hospitals, schools, and mosques as Hamas and other Palestinian organizations launch rockets from within civilian areas.

In previous times of warfare, many fatalities were reported in similar events when rockets fired by Islamic groups hit structures in Gaza, frequently missing their true target.

During Operation Breaking Dawn in August 2022, two individuals were killed when a missile shot from Gaza collided with a clinic.

Four Palestinians were also murdered in May when an Islamic Jihad missile missed its target. The IDF made video available of the incident’s unsuccessful launches.

However, Hamas still accused Israel of being the perpetrators of the rocket launches, and a number of Democrats and leftist Congress members, like Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), chimed in with the false narrative.

“We call on the international community and the Arab and Islamic countries to assume their responsibilities and intervene immediately now to stop the arrogance of the occupation and its fascist army,” Hamas said in a statement.

“What is taking place is genocide. We call on the international community to intervene immediately to stop this massacre. Silence is no longer acceptable,” read a statement issued by the Palestinian Liberation Organization.

There are livestreams online showing feeds from Gaza City, Jerusalem, and Ashdod. The rocket fire occurred from 19:59:00 until 20:00:11.
