Imsraeli startup gives blind man sight with "artificial" corneas. In other news a sharp increase in Palestinian children losing their eyes

I'm guessing all technological advances performed by US tech companies are post-fixed with information about starving Yemeni children whose parents were bombed out of existence. /s

Sometimes one can appreciate tech advances without apportioning blame for other societal ills at the doorsteps of folks who are focused on making lives better for all.

PS: I'm not Israeli/Palestinian. I don't have a dog in this fight, just came here to appreciate the news.

Do you know what doesn’t increase the pressure on a brutal occupation whose operations wreck the livelihoods of thousands of Palestinians daily? That’s right, not bringing up the Israeli occupation whenever possible.

We bring hope to the Palestinians when we don’t ignore their suffering.

The US has not been occupying Yemen for the last 50+ years or completely encircling their borders to create an open air prison. Please, educate yourself on the conflict!

Like how Israel is leading the world in vaccinations per capita! As long as the you exclude the Palestinian population that is...

And now we arrive to the beauty of the two state solution for Israel. The Palestinians stay subjugated in practice but in the eyes of the law they are an independent state.

But what else do you expect from an occupation which counts the calories of the Gazans to make sure they only import what is needed to survive?

The Palestinians refused assistance from Israel. Instead they asked WHO to help. They have only recently requested vaccines from Israel: https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/palestinians-acc...
