“No child should have to die alone,” a charity said in response to a widely shared TV report that has sent shockwaves on social media.

The cease-fire is over, but not before it offered a glimpse of the war’s horrors to Palestinians in Gaza and people around the world.

As residents used the fragile truce to find aid, search for loved ones under the rubble, and head home to survey the destruction, a particularly disturbing scene emerged.

Seen in a video that moves through the abandoned and disarrayed hallways of the pediatric intensive care unit at Al-Nasr Children’s Hospital in northern Gaza were several babies whose unattended bodies lay on separate hospital beds. A blurred version of the video was shared widely on social media this week, a grim and graphic contrast to other scenes of families reunited as hostages and prisoners were freed.

In a piece he reported, Mohammed Baalousha, a journalist with the Emirati TV channel Al-Mashhad, said he found the decomposing infants when he entered the pediatric ICU in the health facility in Gaza City. The hospital’s staff and critically ill patients were forced to evacuate in early November as the Israeli military focused its ground assault on the city, with hospitals under fire.

NBC News obtained raw footage from the channel and has reviewed its contents.

    Not everything is two teams where one team is the winner and one team is the loser. You don’t have to pick a team and automatically everything that team does is good and everything the other team does is bad. Sometimes everything is bad. A bad thing happening to one side, and a bad thing happening to the other side, are both bad things that happened.

    There is of course significant nuance, and way more detail in what happens in a real life event. And even when something is “presented” as 2 sides, it’s really thousands of sides that only kind of align somewhat with each other on some things.

    Having said all that, the vast majority of people think they both shouldn’t have killed people on any sides. But there are alot of added up underlying causes. And while many people are constantly trying to solve the problem peacefully, there are other people that either can’t wait that long, or don’t find peace to be the best way to go for other reasons.

    Real life problems are hard to solve, and while people work to solve one, other ones are likely getting more out of hand, or even the one they are working on is. Luckily there are so many of us that are able to work towards solutions, but it certainly helps when there are at least more people trying to solve problems than the amount that are trying to cause them, or ignoring them.

    In summary, no we don’t suck hamas dick. They did a bad thing too. And while they had reason to be upset, there were certainly better ways to go about it. As is the general case in life, being angry is reasonable, but murdering people due to being angry is not.
