UN Report on Child Casualties in Conflict
report from the UN, which found that since the Hamas terror attack on 7 October 2023,
the Israeli Defence Force has now killed 20,000 Palestinian children and injured 44,000 more.
This is indefensible. The report found evidence of attacks on child-essential
infrastructure like orphanages and schools, the starvation and torture of detained children.
It identified really horrifying evidence that IDF soldiers deliberately shot at children's limbs
as some sort of twisted game of target practice.
The report found that the scale of child deaths is unprecedented,
to the point that it is unparalleled across modern conflicts globally—unparalleled.
I think we need to come to terms with what it means in this moment in history to be defined this way.
