Video: Palestinian infants died of heart attacks, killed by Israel

Kareem Mutawaq and unnamed child die unmarked after Israeli bombings

At least two more Palestinian children have died of what appears to be fear-related heart failure under Israeli bombing – a heart-breaking and by no means new phenomenon of the genocide in Gaza.

Fourteen-month-old Kareem Mutawaq died after bombs struck nearby homes and a little boy whose name is not known was found unmarked and dead after other bombings in his area:

At least four Palestinian babies have also frozen to death in the past week as a result of Israel’s blockade of fuel and food, its destruction of almost all viable residential buildings and of Gaza’s hospitals. Israel claims that pointing out the number of babies and children it has killed is a ‘blood libel’, a reference to old antisemitic smears that Jews used the blood of gentile children in their rituals and cooking.

UK PM Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy, despite finding time to post on their social media about far more trivial issues during the holiday season, have not condemned nor even mentioned Israel’s slaughter of tens of thousands of children.
