They are Palestinians, not Ukrainians.
Even right-wing, pro-Israel, conservative, oligarchic … paper cannot ignore what the UN is saying.
“The UN said on Tuesday that more than 12,300 children died between October and February in the Gaza Strip, mostly in Israeli airstrikes, citing its own data and reports from Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry.
At the same time, the UN’s own calculations show that 12,193 children were killed in fighting in all armed conflicts globally between 2019 and 2022.
At least 31,272 people have been killed in Gaza since October last year, according to the Gaza health ministry. Although it is run by Hamas, the ministry’s casualty figures for previous conflicts have been found to be accurate.”
And after the killing of white Westerners, it is more if a reason to publish what cannot be ignored. Israel, is now being argued, has to change its way of conducting the war.
Israel though has its own logic: a demographic one that complements the territorial expansive objective. Killing as many women and children is not just ‘collateral damage’. Less women and children means less Palestinians to fight Israel. That is a delusion. History has shown again and again that state violence breeds counter-violence, and more oppression inevitably results in more struggle as long as the structural and systemic causes of violence and injustice persist whether in Palestine, Ukraine, the US or France.
