According to Save the Children, more than twenty thousand children have been killed, buried under rubble or in mass graves, detained, lost or missing amid Israel’s ongoing genocidal war in Gaza.

The surviving children fare little better. A heartbreaking videotaken by Palestinian journalist Mohammad Magadli, shows an orphan girl displaced in Gaza walking barefoot for miles while carrying her injured sister on her back. “I’m tired,” she told the reporter. “I’ve been carrying it for an hour and I can’t now.”

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has warned that children in Gaza are dying in excruciating pain due to Israel’s deadly and escalating blockade. James Elder, UNICEF spokesperson said,

After more than a year of attempts to shed light on the atrocities committed against children in Gaza, IT IS perhaps the most damning reality: children – deeply ill children – are being denied the medical care that could save them in Gaza, then are prevented from receiving the medical care that could save them in Gaza. from departure to places where help is waiting.

In northern Gaza, Al Jazeera reports that the Israeli army has raided and the occupied Kamal Adwan Hospital, where hundreds of doctors, injured patients and displaced families are seeking shelter. Pictures shows hospital director Dr. Hossam Abu Safiyeh and other doctors in white coats raising their hands, pleading for safety.

As other videos and testimonies show, Israeli forces rounded dozens of civilians from the hospital, forcing them to take off their clothes — their fate remains unknown. Dr Abu Safiyeh himself appears to be one of the kidnapped. On Saturday, after Dr. Abu Safiyeh refused to evacuate the hospital, Israeli soldiers killed his son Ibrahim. In a video shared by journalist Anas al-Sharif, Dr. Abu Safiyeh, still in a medical coat, leads a heartbreaking farewell prayer for his son. Another video shows Ibrahim’s mother say goodbye to your son and weeping over his body.

On social media, some Israeli soldiers posted pictures Palestinian civilians used as human shields. An IDF soldier, questioned by CNNshared that he could no longer eat meat, having bulldozed and crush hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza, dead and alive, until their bodies “spring out.” (The CNN report, which portrays IDF war criminals as traumatized victimsmarks a new low point for the US mainstream media and its brazen efforts to whitewash Israel’s war crimes in Gaza.)

Meanwhile, violent rhetoric in Israel continues to escalate. “I just think we need to kill them, every single one of them.” . . and that’s it”, a young Israeli settler recently said Sky News on air. In a deranged eulogy in Israel this week, the brother of an Israeli soldier killed in southern Lebanon, said proudly: “You entered Gaza to take revenge. As much as possible, women, children, everyone you saw, this is what you wanted.

The horrors continue unabated, with women and children separated from each other, the forced displacement of thousands of civilians, the incessant assault on the Gaza Strip last hospital in operationand the continued blocking of aid. Thousands of civilians fled Jabalia, leave bodies lying in the streets. Videos taken in northern Gaza show Israeli soldiers chasing away families at gunpoint.

Volker Türk, the United Nations human rights chief, warned that the “darkest moment” is taking place in northern Gaza: “As we speak, the Israeli army is subjecting an entire population to bombing, siege and the risk of starvation. Incredibly, the situation is getting worse by the day. He further added that

Israeli government policies and practices in northern Gaza risk emptying the region of all Palestinians. We are faced with what could constitute atrocity crimes, which could even extend to crimes against humanity. These are universally accepted and binding standards developed to preserve the bare minimum of humanity.

This is ethnic cleansing carried out in broad daylight. The Jewish Voice for Peace published a statement comparing Israel’s crimes in Gaza to the Holocaust, while Israel-based rights group B’Tselem issued a statement condemning “the ethnic cleansing of northern Gaza by Israel”.

Israel does not hide its plans in Gaza. According to Israeli troops, the IDF launched a “Generals plan» in northern Gaza – a plan for famine and ethnic cleansing Palestinians there. Israeli leaders are holding political conferences under the slogan: “Conquer, expel, resettle.” In one event In the presence of several Knesset members from Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, as well as Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israeli settlement leader Daniella Weiss declared that “the Arabs of Gaza have lost the right to be here “. Even if Israeli officials do not deny their policy of deliberate starvation Palestinians from Gaza, Antony Blinken, playing Netanyahu’s lawyer, insists that Israel is not implementing the generals’ plan.

These actions, committed during Blinken’s visit to Israel, are being carried out with the bipartisan blessing of the United States. While the Joe Biden administration has warned that Israel is implementing a “starvation policy” in Gaza – which should “almost triple“Levels of famine that are already killing children – he did nothing to subdue his genocidal partner. Instead, the U.S. government has devoted tens of billions of dollars in military aid to Israel, support that has reached a record level. unprecedented record since last year.

In a tragic irony, President Biden gave a speech this week in which he issued a historical apology to Native Americans for past injustices. Meanwhile, Biden continues to arm and finance the genocide of the century. During the event, a woman in the crowd request Biden: “How can you apologize for genocide while committing genocide in Gaza? »

The oppressed find little comfort in the prospect of historical justice – the idea that future historians or leaders may view their plight more kindly. Palestinians, like Native Americans before them, want justice NOWon this earth, while they are alive, while they are still alive and have the power to witness it.
