Why are the children of Gaza deemed to deserve trauma, mental illness and death?
Traumatised: here’s a child whose legs had to be cut off after an Israeli attack in Gaza. Wouldn’t you agree that such an event at such an early age is likely to have repercussions for the rest of this poor mite’s life?
The Chair of the United Nations’ child rights committee has spoken out against the persecution of children in Gaza, caused by Israel’s genocide there.
Here’s part of what she had to say:
"No child should grow up in fear, pain & hunger.
Yet today, no child in #Gaza is free from fear, pain & hunger. In fact, they'll be considered lucky if they can even survive this war and have the chance to grow up."

No doubt the Israeli “authorities”, such as they are, will dismiss Ann Skelton’s comments as they come from the United Nations and Israel does not recognise the UN’s authority.
It’s a strange attitude to the organisation that brought the current state of Israel into being. Perhaps if Israel doesn’t recognise UN authority on this, it should make a statement that the UN had no authority to create Israel and dissolve itself immediately?
Nobody seriously believes that is a possibility. But its current attitude reveals the Israeli government and military to be hypocrites.
And the bombings continue. And the children continue to die. Or be traumatised into suffering mental illness for (possibly) the rest of their lives.
How would you feel if these were your children?

Fascist/zionist Israelis don’t care about murdering thousands of women and children because they are all supposedly ‘terrorists/non-humans. The same cruel and sadistic lies were utted by the nazis in the 1930s and during WW II and now the fascist/zionist Israelis are uttering the same despicable cruel and callous lies!
Meanwhile the ‘great and hypocritical white western male leaders continue to support the murderous genocidal Israel regime! Don’t worry these boys will ensure their children don’t suffer because their children are special unlike the Palestinian children!
