who want to have a baby. Our daughter went through hell and a lot of expense for their five embryos and is expecting their first, our grandson, in August after an ectopic pregnancy burst one fallopian tube.

They would have been devastated if their entire hope for a family was wiped out in one fell swoop.

Let’s start acting like it matters to others.

Wow! Hope22 Apr 20 #1

I suspect if Iran had bombed an Israeli IVF center, this would be a major news item. David__77 Apr 20 #2

They are in their homeland and many people want families. David__77 Apr 20 #20

For some reason this reminded me of a Golda Meir quote: Beastly Boy Apr 20 #21

And it is true that Israeli forces have killed many thousand of children very recently. David__77 Apr 20 #22

And it is true that Hamas terrorists put each and every single one of them in the line of fire. Beastly Boy Apr 21 #24

And how many thousands of children have the terrorists killed, and attempted to kill, yagotme Apr 21 #42

I think the point is that those peoples' choice has now been taken away from them. meadowlander Apr 21 #30

I was told Gaza was an open air prison Mountainguy Apr 20 #16

Maybe Netanyahu propping up terroristic Hamas for years with his divide et impera games wasn't such a good idea either Celerity Apr 21 #28

Did Netanyahu "force" Hamas to invade Israel in Oct? yagotme Apr 21 #43

I think they're saying that Israel should have attacked Gaza years ago AZSkiffyGeek Apr 21 #62

I think it's reasonable to consider that response dismissive of this killing of embryos. David__77 Apr 21 #75

How about the thousands killed since? iemanja Apr 21 #76

Where did those numbers come from anyway? RandySF Apr 21 #77

The deaths have been widely reported in the press, and there has been television coverage. iemanja Apr 21 #83

I weep for those too TexasDem69 Apr 21 #78

Hamas is guilty of many things iemanja Apr 21 #79

No, they just hide and fire rockets from within civilian neighborhoods. RandySF Apr 21 #80
