I have been reading the new UN report about how Israel has been targeting children in Gaza. There are no words to describe how awful it is. Here are some of the worst examples:

1) Hind Rajab and family, Tel al-Hawa, Gaza City, 29 Jan 2024. Named. A family of seven plus two paramedics killed. Hind Rajab, 5 to 6, stayed on the phone with rescuers for hours, trapped in a car among her dead relatives. Her cousin Layan Hamadeh, 15, was killed mid-call. The rescue ambulance, dispatched with COGAT clearance, was shelled.

2) The 15-year-old with the white flag, Khan Younis, 24 Jan 2024. Anonymous. Shot in the foot during an ordered evacuation while holding a white cloth, then shot twice more in the back and neck as he tried to rise. His 20-year-old brother killed running to him; their mother shot signaling for an ambulance. Assessed as DAN .338 sniper fire from about 200m.

3) The 10-day-old baby, Nuseirat camp, 12 Apr 2024. Anonymous. Shot in the head by a quadcopter-mounted rifle while being breastfed inside a tent. Survived with brain damage and seizures.

4) The 14-year-old killed with fragmenting pellets, Aug 2024. Anonymous. Cube-shaped pellets that fragmented internally like cluster munitions, destroying multiple organs. The report flags the munition itself as a possible war crime.

5) Jadallah "Jad" Jadallah, Al-Far'a camp, Tubas, 16 Nov 2025. Named. Jadallah Jihad Jouma Jadallah, 14, shot at close range and left bleeding for roughly 45 minutes while about 14 soldiers stood around him. One kicked his cap back when he threw it for attention, one filmed him, one placed a stone beside him to stage a stone-throwing pretext. Soldiers fired at his approaching mother and blocked two ambulances. Body withheld.

6) Layla al-Khatib, Muthallath al-Shuhada, 25 Jan 2025. Named. Layla (Laila) Muhammad Ayman al-Khatib, 2, shot in the back of the head during dinner at home, four bullets fired through the living room window. Youngest West Bank child killed in the reporting period. B'Tselem found the only man in the building was her grandfather, contradicting the "wanted terrorist" claim.

7) Saddam Rajab, Tulkarem, shot 28 Jan 2025, died 7 Feb 2025. Named. Saddam (Sadam) Rajab, 10, shot during an incursion. A soldier told the father, "I am the one who shot your son. God willing, he will die." Medical care obstructed; the boy died of his wounds days later.

8) Walid Ahmad, Megiddo Prison, died 22 Mar 2025. Named. Walid Khalid Abdullah Ahmad, 17, from Silwad. Healthy at arrest in Sept 2024; dead six months later of starvation, muscle wasting, untreated colitis and scabies. First Palestinian minor to die in Israeli custody since Oct 2023. Family learned of his death from a news article; body withheld.

9) The Sde Teiman 15-year-old, detention. Anonymous. Held among 70 adults, shackled until his hands bled, dogs released on prone detainees; described as "the worst days of my life." A separate 15-year-old reported being electrocuted via a needle in his shoulder over 54 days.

10) The four newborns at Al-Nasr Pediatric Hospital, Nov 2023. Anonymous. Found decomposing, still attached to defunct life-support machines, after staff were forced to evacuate without being able to move them. Independently verified by the Commission, Washington Post, and CNN.

11) Newborn hypothermia deaths, Dec 2024 to Feb 2025. Anonymous. At least 15 newborns, including a one-day-old girl, died of cold linked to lack of shelter, fuel, and incubators. UNICEF called the deaths preventable.

12) Sexual violence in detention. Anonymous. Forced public stripping and filming of boys during mass arrests; two cousins aged 7 and 13 stripped at gunpoint in Jenin; new reports of boys raped in custody, one on multiple occasions.

The Commission documents at least 20,179 Palestinian children killed and 44,143 wounded in two years, 30 percent of all the dead in Gaza, alongside 213 more killed in the West Bank. Thirteen times the Commission asked Israel to respond, and thirteen times it heard nothing back. Israel doesn't care enough to even respond. It kills children as a matter of policy.

Netanyahu just cut a deal with the Haredi parties to give them everything they want in exchange for creating a commission that will exhonerate him for responsibility October 7 as quickly as possible:

1) Netanyahu, Deri and Gafni and agreed to pass four laws before the Knesset dissolves. Basic Law: Torah Study, the law blocking arrests of draft evaders, and the kashrut law.

2) In exchange he gets a political commission to investigate October 7, rather than a state one. The updated text lets it function with three of six members and bars the comptroller from filling empty seats. That means it can run on coalition appointees alone, with zero opposition members.

3) A real state inquiry has subpoena power and independent members and would put Netanyahu's own conduct on October 7 under oath. A political committee he controls does not. That means everything.

4) Another part of the deal is delaying the election date to October 27 (rather than September). That gives him more time to rule, cover up his crimes, try to derail the Iran deal and come to elections in better condition.

5) The families of the fallen in October 7th and since are livid. There will be no accountability for their families and Haredi men will not have to serve while their families died. This creates massive bitterness in Israeli society.

The man who presided over the worst security failure in the country's history now controls the terms of his own inquiry and the timing of his own election. Everything he does is designed to remain in power and to exonerate himself. Everything.

UN commission of inquiry says Israel committing genocide in Gaza by deliberately targeting children https://t.co/v7Cul4wHzP

Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank, an independent UN inquiry said https://t.co/61poVhRzmR

Le président sioniste Isaac Herzog déclare :

« Israël mérite la paix et la tranquillité. C'est tout ce que nous demandons. De l'Iran au Liban en passant par Gaza, nos ennemis cherchent à se reconstruire et à se réarmer pour continuer à terroriser notre peuple. »

Mais peut-être avons-nous mal compris. Peut-être que nous n'avons pas le bon lexique. En fait, dans leur dictionnaire, "paix" veut dire "guerre", "tranquillité" veut dire "colonisation", "ennemi" veut dire "résistant" et "terroriser" veut dire "défendre". C'est nous qui sommes à côté de la plaque. Essayons de traduire avec le bon dictionnaire :

« Israël mérite la guerre et la colonisation. C'est tout ce que nous réclamons. De l'Iran au Liban en passant par Gaza, les résistants cherchent à se reconstruire et à se réarmer pour continuer à défendre leur peuple. »

Et soudain, le discours change de couleur. Et il s'éclaire. Il suffit juste d'essayer de comprendre. Effectivement, quand une armée se dit "la plus morale du monde" tout en tirant une balle dans la tête d'enfants ou en se filmant en sous-vêtements féminins volés sur des cadavres, on comprend que leur logique est à l'envers. Leur "paix" est un cimetière. Leur "tranquillité" est un territoire vidé de ses habitants.

israël is the only country in the world that practiced The "Breaking Bones Policy" as a military directive using hammers instead of bullets against 1555 Palestinian kids in 1988 !

💥Instead of tackling any of the real problems connected to UNRWA, Gideon Saar, the foreign minister of a nation founded by refugees, that has also triggered numerous refugee crises, chose #WorldRefugeeDay to mock them. Just another Sunday for Netanyahu's cruel, crass, ministers.

You cannot oppose occupation and resistance at the same time. If you oppose resistance you are supporting occupation no matter how you cry and shout and lament against it.

[Amin Sharaf 🌍 @AminSharaf]

Am 4. August 1942 erließ der deutsche Nazi Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm Keitel den „Geiselbefehl“.

Für jeden getöteten deutschen Soldaten sollten 50-100 feindliche Zivilisten (vor allem auf dem Balkan) sterben.

Er landete später in Nürnberg auf der Anklagebank. Das war schon damals ein Kriegsverbrechen.

Aus den Opfern von damals sind die Täter von heute geworden.

So tief bist du gesunken #Israel

No Ambassador @dannydanon, you don't know the first thing about UN law. As a matter of procedure, there is no rule that grants Member States an unrestricted right to personally attack UN officials, nor is there a rule prohibiting officials or the presiding officer from responding procedurally.

International civil servants serve the Organization, not individual Member States. Article 100 specifically requires Member States to respect the exclusively international character of the responsibilities of the Secretary-General and Secretariat staff and not seek to influence them in the discharge of their functions. Personal attacks aimed at intimidating, or pressuring UN officials, breach that obligation.

🚨 Iran’s national team were promised by FIFA that they would arrive in Los Angeles two days before their match against Belgium. However, they’ve now been informed that they can only arrive tomorrow, just one day before the game.

Absolutely unacceptable from FIFA. @FIFAcom

[Omid Memarian @Omid_M]

No other team at the tournament faces the same restrictions as Iran. According to a member of Iran's medical staff, Iranian players were subjected to lengthy questioning, multiple security screenings, strict time limits, and an immediate departure from the United States after their match. Treatment that would normally take place in the locker room had to be done on the flight back to Mexico. "There were so many unfair things," said physiotherapist Paulo Alexandre Araujo. After the match, Iran's captain described the situation bluntly: "Everything is like a disaster for us." As Araujo put it: "This is no way to treat sportsmen when you talk about fair competition." This is not what fair competition looks like. A story by @tariqpanja https://t.co/bRRDEmU74O

That Ben Gvir post that everyone is sharing aghast? It is a perfectly normal and common Israeli view, held by millions. It is the Israeli mainstream, and not extreme in the least. I grew up hearing that endlessly
