Doctors somehow managed to revive Sabreen — a shard of hope in their otherwise relentlessly bleak duties — but it was a fragile, ephemeral existence.

What the hell is this head line! I've read like five times now! What does it mean!

- Second paragraph of the article:
  
  Last Saturday, she was pulled from the womb of her dead mother in the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike in Rafah, which also killed her father and her would-be 3-year-old sister. Doctors somehow managed to revive Sabreen — a shard of hope in their otherwise relentlessly bleak duties — but it was a fragile, ephemeral existence. And five days later her family received the call that she had died.

  I read the article. That's not in question. It's just the head line is so confusing.

  Baby sabreen, saved from her dead mothers womb dies days later and is laid to rest at a mournful and sometimes angry funeral.
  
  Now it's understandable!

What a senseless waste of life. And I bet all of these completely avoidable and totally unnecessary tragedies make excellent recruitment propaganda for the likes of Hamas.

- There was a Flash video game following 9/11 that explained it perfectly.
  
  It had a stereotypical Middle Eastern marketplace. Random civilians wandering around, and one terrorist in a bomb vest. Goal? Kill the terrorist.
  
  Click them with the mouse, they explode, and when the blast damage touches other civilians it creates more terrorists.

- “I’m want to keep murdering these people, why are they fighting back?”

- Hamas is less poplar in Gaza than in the West Bank, so the opposite seems to be the case.

  Not to mention fine inspiration for deliciously macabre one-liners, when one walks on stage at The Laff Factory:
  
  "Terrible as little Sabreen’s physical condition was/still is now, she's much healthier than prospects for peace returning to The Near East anytime soon"

One death is a tragedy 1 million is a statistic. How the fuck is one dead kid world news shit like this happens every day.

-43
- Because the kid was killed in an area the Israelis told the Palestinians to evacuate to then attacked them anyway? 🤔 Or that she was still in utero when her mom and sibling were killed in the same attack?
  
  35
  
  Or that (if I'm not mixing events in my head), only 4 of the 22 killed in that attack were even adults.

- That quote is commonly attributed to Stalin (though without proof, but alas)... Is that really a quote you wanna take for a walk?

  And Hitler gained popularity by promising everyone* land and a job. What's your point?

- Because humans are fucking dumb and can only hold enough space in their primitive fucking brains for one tragedy at a time. A million tragedies is incomprehensible (and probably fucking should be).

  If the goal is to minimise overall human suffering is statistics not a better framework to view such things?
  
  -6
- Most of that million you mention were adults who were killed after being irredeemable obnoxious
