The extensive killing of Palestinian children and teenagers in the West Bank is not a series of isolated incidents. It is a practice backed by every arm of the Israeli regime.

From 7 October 2023 to 29 June 2026, Israel killed 1,087 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 242 children and teenagers.

In 2025 alone, 54 minors were killed. Our new report, “Unshielded Childhood,” tells their stories.

The Israeli legal system helps whitewash these killings, grants impunity to the perpetrators, and shirks its duty to demand accountability from those responsible. The Israeli public remains largely indifferent, while some segments openly support the violence.

To legitimize this routine killing in the eyes of the Israeli public and the world, Israel systematically dehumanizes Palestinians. When the military almost automatically labels Palestinian children and teenagers who posed no threat as “terrorists” or “involved in terrorism,” it creates a reality in which their lives are treated as entirely disposable and harming them is seen as legitimate and permissible.

While the world looks away and grants Israel international impunity, the reality on the ground is clear: under the Israeli regime, no Palestinian is protected, and any Israeli who harms them enjoys full impunity.

La relatora especial de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para los territorios palestinos ocupados, Francesca Albanese, calificó este miércoles como “escalofriante” el informe de La Comisión Internacional Independiente de Investigación de la ONU que acusa a Israel de “apuntar” contra los niños en la franja de Gaza.

Asimismo, felicitó a la Comisión de Investigación por su esfuerzo en exigir responsabilidades y hacer accesible la verdad.

On Saturday, 14 March 2026, a group of Israeli settlers entered the village of Qusrah in Nablus District, some carrying clubs and slingshots and others with firearms. They smashed windows of homes, vandalized two cars and damaged other property.

About 10 village residents came to the families’ defense, including Mu’tasem ‘Odeh, 46, and his son Amir, 28. A confrontation developed and the settlers opened live fire at the residents. Amir ‘Odeh was shot in the chest, and two other residents were wounded in the legs.

Amir collapsed immediately, and when his father rushed to him, the settlers attacked him, beating him on the head with a club until he lost consciousness and then stabbing him in both legs. The settlers also beat the wounded Amir with clubs. They then moved away. Residents took Amir and Mu’tasem ‘Odeh to Rafidya Hospital in Nablus, where Amir was pronounced dead.

From October 2023 and to May 30, 2026, Israel killed 1,079 Palestinians in the West Bank, 35 of them killed by settlers. Under Israel’s apartheid regime, Palestinian lives continue to be treated as utterly expendable.

The Israelization of our societies is already happening: posturing democracies where human rights can be suspended for people that those in power consider a disturbance.
Wake up Brits. Italians. Germans. French. North Americans. Dutch.

The UN adds Israel and Russia to a blacklist of countries engaged in sexual violence, after documenting “patterns of sexual violence” by Israelis against Palestinians, citing assaults on 14 men, seven women, nine boys and one girl from Gaza and the West Bank. Israel said it would cut off ties with the UN Secretary General; seems to me it would make more sense to investigate and allow Red Cross visits. https://t.co/9wSkaVsvfx

Everyone should watch this speech.

"The irony of accepting an award for covering a genocide in the very country that enables that genocide should not be lost."

AJ Faultlines documentary, Kids Under Fire, won "Outstanding War or Violence Conflict Coverage" at the 2026 News #Emmys in New York City yesterday.

Josh Rushing dedicated the award to journalists killed by Israeli forces.

[Rami Ayari @Raminho]

The #UNSG sent his annual report on conflict-related sexual violence to #UNSC members today. Here’s the #Palestine section.

[Double Down News @DoubleDownNews]

Israel's report on Oct 7 sexual abuse is chaired & commissioned by Cochav Elkayam-Levy, who spread 'Pregnant women stomach cut open by Hamas who took out fetus with umbilical cord & left it to die' story to international media, who lapped it up.

New report draws on a wholly discredited 'witness' who turns fake stories into an industry.

Report aligns precisely with Israeli Government narratives used to justify genocide in Gaza & to distract from far more evidenced reports on widespread sexual abuse of Palestinians in Israeli detention centers.

At the start of the genocide, Western media swallowed 'beheaded babies' fake news and put them on every front page. Two and a half years on, the disparity in the standard of proof demanded of Israelis & Palestinians remains staggering. @pularjs

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Among the reasons most EU states and EU institutions are quiet about Israel's daily slaughter of civilians in the region, is that they do not care: Lebanese, Palestinian, Iranian lives are disposable, their loss negligible.
And this is so wrong.
Immoral.
Illegal.
Irresponsible.

Exigimos, particularmente a las autoridades israelíes, el pleno respeto a los derechos humanos de nuestros connacionales detenidos en el marco de la Flotilla Global Sumud.

Desde la @SRE_mx seguimos en contacto con sus familias, con nuestros equipos consulares activados y en coordinación con otros países cuyos ciudadanos participan en la flotilla. No descansaremos hasta asegurar su protección y una solución pronta.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
