For 5hrs IDF snipers shot at any medical worker who tried to reach him. Al-Jazeera ran a live timer of how long he was fighting for his life. The Israelis knew he was a journalist & those trying to save him were medics. They knew the world would know. Where total impunity leads

Pres. Biden visits John McCain memorial in Hanoi Vietnam
Community note
Trúc Bạch war monument is not a memorial to John Sidney McCain III. It is a commemoration to the people of Vietnam who shot down ten planes, and captured McCain in 1967. It was erected and dedicated when McCain was still alive in 1985, hence was not a memorial.

US drone strikes have killed approx 900 children—around 200 in Afghanistan, incl last strike that killed 7 kids at once. Celebrating a rare instance where only the “intended target” was killed gives support to that broader criminal policy.
