Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

    The world standing by and watching a genocide unfold is unconscionable. Children cannot be militants nor terrorists. Unless the kid is literally pointing a gun at your face there is never a justifiable claim of self defense

      The US will watch because it is the kind of things they would do, even is they don’t specifically like it when someone else does. This is far from the worst regime they’ve supported in the name of US interests. Since the US supports them, nobody else will do anything.

      The world can’t do much without going to war with US empire given that the only reason Israel is able to do these things is unwavering US backing. US is currently moving a huge number of military assets to the region and warning countries not to interfere with the genocide Israel is committing.
