The number of children reported killed in Gaza in just three weeks has surpassed the annual number of children killed across conflict zones

Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

    After Hamas’ actions on the 7th I don’t see Israel stepping back. Their previous attempts at curtailing Hamas were already under criticism for not going far enough, and that was before the largest attack in decades had occurred

      He says, unironically, on an article about 3000 dead children. Gross.
      How many children do you think the critics will accept as enough? Or does that number not matter because they aren’t Israeli children?

          Literally the post we are on:

          I want them to stop the wholesale slaughter of kids. This barbarism is not how a “just” war is conducted, and especially not a “defensive” one.

              To repeat what I said to your statement higher up:
              A 100 year old charity whose goal is to save children from war is a terrorist groupHamas? Are you ok?

                  just fine, here ya go

                  The United Nations and other international institutions and experts, as well as Palestinian authorities in the West Bank — rivals of Hamas — say the Gaza ministry has long made a good-faith effort to account for the dead under the most difficult conditions. “The numbers may not be perfectly accurate on a minute-to-minute basis,” said Michael Ryan, of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergencies Program. “But they largely reflect the level of death and injury.”
                  In previous wars, the ministry’s counts have held up to U.N. scrutiny, independent investigations and even Israel’s tallies.

                  Furthermore

                  WHO WORKS IN THE MINISTRY?
                  Hamas, as Gaza’s ruling authority, exerts control over the Health Ministry. But it’s different than political and security agencies that Hamas runs.
                  The Palestinian Authority, which controlled Gaza before Hamas overran the area in 2007, retains power over health and education services in Gaza, though it’s based in the occupied West Bank. The ministry is a mix of recent Hamas hires and older civil servants affiliated with the secular nationalist Fatah party, officials say.

                  If you opened your eyes to the rest of the thread you’d see this, but your special so I made a point to repeat it just for you.

                  Good enough for the UN, the WHO, the AP and prior to the mass bombing campaign, Israel itself.

          what the fuck you want

          It’s weird how they still class things as war crimes, despite everything being totally okay as you say.

        The killing of kids is terrible

        Israel’s goal of Hamas’ destruction makes it unavoidable

        Without a change in Gaza further attacks from Hamas are unavoidable

        And unless there is a government in Israel that stops the settlement and incursions of Radical Israelis in the west bank there will be no peace

        There is no true and just change here at this time that fixes everything
