Israel continues to slaughter and maim children, uncriticised by the complicit UK government. Warning – traumatic scenes
Half of Gaza’s children are so traumatised by Israel’s war on them that they wish for death as a release – and 96% believe death is imminent, according to a new study by the War Child Alliance.
Tens of thousands of Palestinian children have been murdered by Israel since October last year – some by bombs, missiles and hunger, others by sniper bullets – and many more have been maimed – Gaza has the largest population of child amputees in history, according to the United Nations in October this year, with many more severely burned or otherwise wounded.
Below are just a few examples of Israel’s atrocities against Gaza’s children in the last week. Don’t look away – and if you have not realised yet that Israel is committing genocide and this does not convince you, get help:
UK PM Keir Starmer, his Foreign Secretary David Lammy and others in Starmer’s government continue to refuse to acknowledge Israel’s crimes.

Just horrific.
But we must stand in witness of these atrocities by Israel on Palestinian children.
Since Ireland stood with South Africa this week on the ongoing genocide by Israel, I see Israel has announced it is closing its embassy in Ireland.
““We are concerned that a very narrow interpretation of what constitutes genocide leads to a culture of impunity in which the protection of civilians is minimized,” Ireland’s deputy premier and foreign affairs minister, Micheal Martin, said in a statement.”
“Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris called the decision to close the embassy “deeply regrettable.” He added on X: “I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-international law.””
