Israel has again continued its daily slaughter of children in Gaza, murdering dozens in attacks on schools, shelters, tents and as they played in the street.
In a heart-rending scene, a grandfather said a tragic farewell to his four-year-old grandson Yousef, killed along with other children as they played in the street, with the old man desperately trying to commit the feeling of his grandson’s tiny hand to memory:

Yousef’s devastated father tried to console his wife over their murdered son’s body:

And a young boy lay on a cart with his head blown apart after Israel bombed the Musa bin Nusayr School, killing at least six:
“I don’t know how I survived, but that scene will remain one of the worst and most horrific things I’ve ever witnessed. I couldn’t even document it because of how gruesome it was. I saw a man who had been injured in a previous strike — he was eating, but the missile was faster than his spoon. He didn’t even have time to swallow the food in his mouth. There were other horrifying scenes as well, too gruesome for me to even document.”
After the same attack, a young Palestinian mother held the body of her murdered son in unbearable grief and anguish (images posted by the family of murdered journalist Hossam Shbat):
A 2yo girl was murdered in an Israeli attack on al-Zeitoun neighbourhood near Gaza City:
The remains of a small child were gathered in a plastic bag for burial after Israel bombed yet another school, the Majida al-Waseela school:
Another little child lay wounded and covered in blood on the hospital floor after the attack:
Little Rawan al-Naffar was murder in an airstrike that also.killed her parents, eradicating their entire family line:
And even if they survive the bombing, Gaza’s children are so psychologically traumatised that they will carry the scars of Israel’s crimes for life:
The scale of the babykillers’ crime was laid out by former British ambassador Craig Murray:
The above are just a few of yesterday’s horrors inflicted by the colonisers on the children of Gaza and their parents. Today’s horrors continue to unfold as the perpetrator ignores international law and the very concept of humanity, with the collusion and silence of western politicians and media.

Murder is a psychological illness. Only nutters do it.
The usual suspects will come up with the usual excuses.
Nop-one should repeat them, especially journos at the BBC … and politicians.
