        As a disabled person, “special” in reference to disabled people is imo one of the worst ableist slurs, I find it more offensive than retard. my experience isn’t universal, but I just wanted to let you know, I know it was just a joke and I don’t want to make you feel bad, but I have to be honest and say, it does hurt a bit to see it.

            That person was as gentle and kind as they could be while sharing something with you to try to help you become a better person. You should do better.

    So Gazans with Down syndrome look similar to Westerners with Down syndrome. In a way it makes me feel like all of us in world are less different than we might think.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    And when the war started and he was terrorised by the sound of bombs falling, someone always said things were going to be ok. Muhammed was heavy and found movement difficult.

    Along with other residents of Shejaiya, east of Gaza City centre, the Bhars were given orders to evacuate by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

    But the Bhars were tired of moving.In a weary tone, Nabila, who is a widow, reeled off the names of relatives’ homes where they’d sought shelter.“We evacuated around 15 times.

    Nabila says there were several dozen soldiers with a combat dog - animals used to find Hamas fighters, and check for booby traps and explosives.

    A terrified Muhammed, who had always depended on his family for help, was now in the care of combat soldiers, who had come from streets where they’d been fighting close quarter battles with Hamas.

    “This scene I will never forget… I constantly see the dog tearing at him and his hand, and the blood pouring from his hand… It is always in front of my eyes, never leaving me for a moment.


    The original article contains 1,130 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 84%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    For anyone wanting to see some grim reality of an israeli dog attacking a Palestinian woman in Gaza recently:

    This part broke me.

    “The dog attacked him, biting his chest and then his hand. Muhammed didn’t speak, only muttering ‘No, no, no.’ The dog bit his arm and the blood was shed. I wanted to get to him but I couldn’t. No-one could get to him, and he was patting the dog’s head saying, ‘enough my dear enough.’ In the end, he relaxed his hand, and the dog started tearing at him while he was bleeding.”

    Eye for an eye. Brutality seems to be the only language Israelis understand.
