AMMAN, 27 May 2025 – “In a 72-hour period this weekend, images from two horrific attacks provide yet more evidence of the unconscionable cost of this ruthless war on children in the Gaza Strip.
“On Friday, we saw videos of the bodies of burnt, dismembered children from the al-Najjar family being pulled from the rubble of their home in Khan Younis. Of 10 siblings under 12 years old, only one reportedly survived, with critical injuries.
“Since the end of the ceasefire on 18 March, 1,309 children have reportedly been killed and 3,738 injured.
In total, more than 50,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured since October 2023. How many more dead girls and boys will it take? What level of horror must be livestreamed before the international community fully steps up, uses its influence, and takes bold, decisive action to force the end of this ruthless killing of children?
Why the west isn’t imposing sanctions dirrectly on the genocidal government? Many western countries lied about no longer selling arms to israel
I think because their governments believe the geopolitical convenience of having Israel on side outweighs the moral aspects. That’s of course a psychopathic, Kissinger-esque conclusion to reach, but it isn’t much different than the way the US and EU are stringing along Ukraine rather than giving them the tools they need to decisively end the Russian invasion.
