Israel bombs children (again and again and again and again and again and…)

Scenes of horror and cruelty by the state outraged by music – and delighted by direct political action as long as it happened 100 years ago

As the UK media and politicians continued to obsess over musicians’ comments and the government rigged the vote to ban an anti-genocide group – and as it has done for the past 600+ days – Israel spent yesterday slaughtering Palestinians in Gaza – and, as usual, especially children. Below are some of the horrific incidents it perpetrated yesterday.

“A child not more than one year old, was targeted by the occupation army and was killed by fire targeting a building to stop in the Olive neighborhood” – the family of murdered Palestinian journalist Hossam Shbat, who continue to operate his Instagram account.

“Loss and pain when a woman lost her child in the bombing of the Abu Samra family’s house in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood” – journalist Youssef Iyad.

“A heartbreaking scene from Al-Zaytoun neighborhood today: The body of a martyred girl was pulled from the burning rubble after a brutal Israeli occupation airstrike targeted their place of displacement, where she and her family were seeking safety.” – the family of murdered Gaza journalist Hossam Shbat, who still operate his Instagram account.

Young children killed and injured by another Israeli airstrike on a tent camp in the Mawasi ‘safe zone’.

Every child’s wound is a cry for help in the face of the world’s silence.

“Every day, children emerge from the rubble, not to play, but to be treated for unintentional wounds.
Their faces are covered in blood and dust, and their eyes are closed in pain and fear.

In Gaza, childhood is being killed, and the bed, instead of being a place of rest, has become a place of healing.” – journalist Hassan Salem.

“It’s not just media silence. It’s media complicity and collaboration in a genocide that erases stories, and evidence, of the myriad war crimes still unfolding.” – Palestinian academic Khaled Beydoun.

This tiny girl lost her arm in an Israeli bombing.

“Palestinian Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal held the body of a two-month-old baby girl killed in the attack. After the Israeli occupation bombed the Al-Awqaf building sheltering displaced families in Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, 17 Palestinians were killed, including 6 children, and dozens were injured. His voice broke as he called on the world to intervene, standing with the infant in his arms” – journalist Nahed Hajjaj.

“Zain, a 10-year-old Palestinian boy, has taken on the role of both parents as he cares for his younger siblings injured in the Israeli occupation’s bombing of the Al-Awqaf displacement center, which was sheltering hundreds of families. The Israeli attack killed 16 people, including 3 men, 5 women, and 7 children, and injured dozens. Inside the reception area of the Baptist Hospital, Zain crouches to hold his wounded little brother, wiping tears from his face, while comforting his crying sister, telling her their mother will be there soon. With no adult left to hold them, Zain became their only protection in a world collapsing around them” – Translating Falasteen and journalist Nahed Hajjaj.

“The injured child kisses the head of his wounded brother, moments after an Israeli occupation attack targeting displaced families in the Awqaf building in Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, Gaza” – family of murdered journalist Hossam Shbat.

Tiny Aya was murdered, along with her widowed mother, in an Israeli airstrike:

These are just a few of the terrible human stories of Israel’s extermination campaign in Gaza, on a single day – a day in which more than a hundred people were again slaughtered.

The UK government is not only arming the IDF babykillers – winning a court battle to be allowed to continue doing so by withholding key evidence from the court – but actively enabling and participating in the slaughter:

And MPs stood wearing sashes to commemorate the centenary of the suffragettes, who vandalised, bombed and blockaded in order to win votes for women – then almost all of them went to the Commons chamber to vote to ban peaceful protest group Palestine Action as terrorists:

We must not forget. There must be a reckoning.

  1. From today’s Guardian. “Just” another murder. Note how quick Starmer was to express sadness when a Liverpool footballer died in a car ***accident*** in Portugal, and how totally lacking he is expressing similar concern for 100 Palestinians being ***murdered*** in Spain by his sponsors and controllers. Could he make his allegiances any clearer?

    “Tributes have been paid to one of Gaza’s most senior doctors who was killed in an Israeli airstrike.

    Dr Marwan al-Sultan, a renowned and highly experienced cardiologist and director of the Indonesian hospital in the Gaza Strip, is the 70th healthcare worker to be killed by Israeli attacks in the last 50 days, according to Healthcare Workers Watch (HWW), a Palestinian medical organisation.” (As the cardiologist was targeted at home, his entire family died with him). And PA are the terrorists?

  2. The UK government is…… actively enabling and participating in the slaughter”

    As detailed here by Dropsite News:

    https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/revealed-uk-labour-israeli-military-planes-land-gaza

    “Britain’s Labour government has secretly allowed at least three Israeli Air Force (IAF) planes involved in the bombing of Gaza to land in the UK since it took office, according to flight data reviewed by Drop Site News.

    The KC-707 “Re’em” aerial refueling planes stopped in Britain on trips between Israel and the U.S. on nine separate occasions from September 2024 through June 2025. Eight of the nine IAF flights spent between 1 to 3 hours in the UK before flying on to their destination, indicating they could have been refueling in Britain.

    The planes were blocked on commercial flight tracking databases but Drop Site was able to identify them through unfiltered flight transponder data.

    The Re’em military planes have been seen refueling Israeli F-35 fighter jets on bombing missions, and Drop Site has found two of the same aircraft providing refueling and logistics support to Israeli fighter jets during bombing missions over Gaza.

    All the planes landed at RAF Brize Norton, the largest airbase in Britain, located in Oxfordshire. One of these Israeli planes was in the sky over Gaza around the time of two apparent war crimes, including in October 2024, when the IAF bombed a residential complex in the northern city of Beit Lahiya, killing 73 people.”

    The entire UK cabinet have blood on their hands. By whatever means necessary, every single one of them, along with those who carried out their illegal orders under International law all the way down the chain of command and those in the media who excuse these crimes, need to be dealt with via whatever effective due process method is available to permanently prevent them from aiding and abetting more war crimes.

  3. In this Save The Children piece from October 10th last year it says that at least 3,100 children aged under five have been killed in Gaza, and of those about 710 were babies aged under 12 months. Well I think we can definitely double that number again as of since last October, and then double it again for the massive undercount it undoubtedly is. And THAT’s at the very, very least:

    GAZA: AT LEAST 3,100 CHILDREN AGED UNDER FIVE KILLED WITH OTHERS AT RISK AS FAMINE LOOMS

    The occupied Palestinian territory is now ranked as the deadliest place in the world for children: about 30% of the 11,300 identified children killed in Gaza were younger than five and Gaza currently has the highest rates of child malnutrition globally.

    Netanyahu is undoubtedly one of the most evil people on the planet *AND* one of the most evil people who has ever existed on the planet, and not only does he just totally lurve murdering and maiming and mind-fucking the inhabitants of Gaza – and ESPECIALLY blowing toddlers and babies and new-borns to bits – and totally destroying their world and their reality (such as it was), but he also totally gets off on being totally despised by hundreds of millions of people around the world.

    He’s a mega psychopathic sadistic evil inhuman monster. Literally on a par with Hitler.

  4. I am not a believer. How could any ‘higher being’ stand to watch this Israeli terror show? And then, how could any Israeli soldiers, should they beieve, think their God content with the dealings of his people? “Genocide, my people! Come on in!”

    If they do believe then, surely, they must expect eternal damnation!! They have surely earned it!?

    1. Martin – Maybe the problem lies in the Old Testament’s version of god having a tendency to be a more vengeful character than the New Testament’s version.
