"Some were killed in their beds. Others while playing. Many were buried before they learned to walk.
Gaza is the most dangerous place in the world to be a child, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during the war. “Consider that for a moment. A whole classroom of children killed, every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell told the U.N. Security Council this month...


... Most of the living have been corralled into the south of the Gaza Strip, where aid is now mostly distributed by American contractors inside military zones. Israeli soldiers positioned nearby have repeatedly opened fire on desperate families seeking aid, witnesses have told The Post. The IDF has said it fired “warning shots” to prevent “suspects from approaching.” It added that after reports of harm to civilians at aid points, the Israeli military issued instructions “following lessons learned” to forces in the field.

... On July 13, an Israeli airstrike hit a crowd lining up to fill water containers in central Gaza. Ten people, most of them children, were killed.
The Israeli military called it a “technical error” with a munition that caused it to fall “dozens of meters from the target.”

I hope the mood is shifting. Too many innocents have been killed and starved. I keep being reminded that we’re all God’s children.

so thank you to Earl for allowing these discussions.

As for a label ... I know my heart and what I see. Any retaliation for 10/7 has gone WELL past what anyone should think is acceptable.

I listened to segment earlier tonight on CNN about a 10 year old who went to visit his grandmother, he was killed.

The piece was at least 5 minutes long, photos/videos of him with his family, we have all seen these stories played out in the media for individual people.

The thousands, tens of thousands of children of Gaza will never be given the same respect ... they are just numbers, listed in an article that most with never dare read or even think about.
