AMMAN, 27 May 2025 – “In a 72-hour period this weekend, images from two horrific attacks provide yet more evidence of the unconscionable cost of this ruthless war on children in the Gaza Strip.

“On Friday, we saw videos of the bodies of burnt, dismembered children from the al-Najjar family being pulled from the rubble of their home in Khan Younis. Of 10 siblings under 12 years old, only one reportedly survived, with critical injuries.

“Since the end of the ceasefire on 18 March, 1,309 children have reportedly been killed and 3,738 injured.

In total, more than 50,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured since October 2023. How many more dead girls and boys will it take? What level of horror must be livestreamed before the international community fully steps up, uses its influence, and takes bold, decisive action to force the end of this ruthless killing of children?

For comparison, about 58,000 American soldiers died in the entire Vietnam war, over about 10 years. Israel has killed 50,000 children, since October 2023.

The West, through it's genocidal colony Israel, now represents indiscriminate child murder, the bombing of hospitals and schools and starvation of children.

The moral emptiness and racist, authoritarian core of the West has been laid bare

But we can't call it a genocide!

Aaron Bushnell, I'm sorry this world doesn't give enough of a shit to change it's ways.

Aaron Bushnell and others sacrificed themselves in the hopes of stopping the massacre and the state works to make us feel their sacrifice was made in vain, that there is no hope in escalating for Gaza and no point in bringing the war home. We can't let them succeed. Their sacrifices were not made in vain. - Elias Rodriguez.
