As the death toll continues mount in Gaza, here in the good ol' USA it's full speed ahead to support the IDF genocide of Palestinian children…because, as Madeline Albright said regarding the brutal starvation of 500,000+ Iraqi children:
Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it.
Now that the IDF has annihilated a 3rd UN school full of children:
Still struggling to get their stories straight on the last two times they did it, Israeli tanks attacked yet another UN-run girls’ school in the Gaza Strip, killing dozens of civilians.

GAZA CITY - At least 20 people are killed and more than 50 injured when Israeli tanks shell a school used as an emergency shelter by refugees in Gaza, the Health Ministry says.
Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qedra says tanks shelled the school run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in the northern Gaza refugee camp of Jabalia early Wednesday.
Witnesses tell Gaza radio stations that several tanks hit the al-Hussein school where scores of civilians had taken refuge after fleeing their homes during Israeli airstrikes.
"The death toll since the July 8 start of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip has already reached 1,262 with more than 7,000 injured, two-thirds of them are civilians, including women and children," the ministry spokesman said.

We now come back to the future with Kirk channeling Madeline. It's worth it to wipe out defenseless children and their mothers according to this sad excuse for a human being.
Efforts to negotiate a ceasefire in Israel’s ongoing invasion of the Gaza Strip aren’t sitting well with Israeli hawks, and by extension that means they aren’t sitting well with the US Congress.
That’s got Congressional officials up in arms, pushing President Obama to stop trying to negotiate a ceasefire in the conflict, and instead to endorse Israel’s war unconditionally, and irrespective of how bad it gets.
Underscoring just how far they’ll go, Sen. Mark Kirk (R – IL) insisted he was totally comfortable with Israel killing thousands of civilians in the current war if it meant wiping out Hamas, saying it was “worth it.”
Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) on Monday compared Hamas to the Nazis.
“Hamas is like Nazis,” Kirk told Fox 32 after speaking at a pro-Israel rally in Chicago. “The more Nazis you got, the more Hamas you get, the more death you get.”
When asked whether he thought the fighting in Gaza between Hamas and Israel would cost thousands more lives, Kirk said, “It was worth thousands of lives to wipe out the Nazis. And then the world was much better once they were wiped out.
“The only way to secure peace in the Middle East is to wipe out those who would bring terror to the Middle East,” Kirk added.
Kirk, a friend of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, estimated fighting in Gaza could last a couple more months. The Associated Press has reported that 1,000 Palestinians, 53 Israeli soldiers and three Israeli civilians have been killed in the fighting so far.
