When I looked into how the Gaza Health Ministry collected data, it had a good record for accuracy in previous conflicts. Now, after more than two years of dismissing the data, Israel accepts it as accurate.

A lot of Second Amendment advocates about to explain that carrying a gun is an executable offense in America if you oppose the Trump administration. Expect deafening silence from the NRA.

Your call whether to watch. What I saw: Victim directs traffic. ICE rushes him & two women, violently knocking a woman down. Victim tries to shield her, *hands in air,* gets blasted with spray. As he tries to help her up, ICE pulls him off. One agent *holsters* a weapon right before another shoots.
UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:
