‘I want to sleep in my mother’s lap’, young boy tells Saleh al-Jafarawi
Palestinian journalist and photographer Saleh al-Jafarawi found a heartbreaking scene after he checked on a young boy he saw entering a Gaza cemetery at night. Saleh found the boy lying on a grave, which he soon found out was the grave of the child’s mother – and did his best to comfort the devastated lad:
In his original post of the video, Salah says (translated from Arabic):
The child Zain Youssef Mohna, his mother was martyred two months ago in the events of Al-Nusairat camp, and from that day on, he sleeps on her grave every day!! 💔💔
What can I even say? How can I describe this — I truly don’t know. 💔
This child has broken me, I swear to God.
The ‘Wear the Peace‘ clothing brand, which raises money to provide aid for the Palestinians of Gaza and posted Salah’s video – which has had more than 400,000 reactions in just its first three hours, commented:
This is what’s happening to the children of Gaza as the world continues to watch. May the souls of the killed Palestinians haunt the enablers of the genocide for as long as they live.
Israel is a terror state that has murdered around 200,000 Palestinians in Gaza, overwhelmingly civilians and mostly women and children, with many tens of thousands more maimed and unknown numbers of children orphaned like Zain Youssef Mohna. How many more must die before the western governments enabling the slaughter have had enough and cut off its supply?

But, but, but …. we’re not allowed to know these things. Our brand new shiny government and our FREE media don’t allow us to know the truth.
Yep winteringham our free media. Free to fill our heads with premium grade bull crap of the highest order. I was say over here inthe wee 6 ” take plenty of no notice”.
One death is a tragedy: 40,000 is just a statistic. There will be no change from our racist “leaders”. That would mean admitting they were wrong and risking a pile-on from the lobby who shall not be named…
God, I hate this country like never before!
Professor Norman Finkelstein in this video calls the Israeli army a ‘Deaths head’ army, and because everyone is required to serve in that army it reflects the society as a whole, he then says Israeli society with few exceptions is a society of war criminals. He goes on to claim [rightly in my opinion] that Israel has the backing of the western elites in everything that it does. As an example he said imagine a football stadium with 15,000 children in it. Harris and Biden are responsible for the murder of everyone of those children. I would add Starmer and Lammy a pair of true psychopaths to that list.
