There is literally no debate anymore - if there ever was! Dozens & dozens of Western medics, doctors & nurses, eyewitnesses, are saying Israel is targeting kids in Gaza, shooting them in the head, deliberately murdering them. These are some of the worst crimes of the 21st century

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

A BBC report on how the Israeli Defence Force killed two Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank - 15 year old Basil and 8 year old Adam.

8 year old Adam was shot in the back of the head as he was running away from the soldiers.

@W_Lacher Dear @W_Lacher, we have been documenting these crimes (headshots) for years

[Tom Gara @tomgara]

“We started seeing a series of children, preteens mostly, shot in the head…The families told one of two stories: they were playing inside when they were shot by Israeli forces, or they were playing in the street when they were shot by Israeli forces” https://t.co/g0BD5eex7L
