Your taxes aren’t funding the care for these Palestinian children. HEAL Palestine brings severely wounded children from Gaza to the U.S. entirely through private support: donations fund their travel, American hospitals treat them for free, and volunteer host families care for them here. The only role of U.S. tax dollars in the picture is the costly review the State Department will now be forced to conduct because of a deranged racist’s ravings to block children from life-saving treatment.

🚨 BREAKING: After far-right influencer @lauraloomer raged online about a few severely injured Palestinian children arriving in the U.S. for life-saving medical interventions, the State Department announced it has suspended all visitor visas for individuals from Gaza. On Twitter, the State Department indicated no more children in urgent need of medical treatment will be allowed into the U.S. “while it conducts a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days.” Loomer had tagged Secretary Rubio and the department in a series of frenzied posts yesterday, demanding wounded Palestinian children be barred from receiving medical care in the U.S. The videos she highlighted shared the work of HEAL Palestine, a U.S.-registered nonprofit that arranges specialized, life-saving care for severely injured children from Gaza—children who cannot receive adequate treatment locally—and has brought dozens to U.S. hospitals so far.
