Israel continues to commit genocide by targeting children in Gaza, UN inquiry finds

To me and hopefully to everyone this is horrific.  But something I have been highlighting here that Israeli is a rouge terrorist government drying to genocide the Palestinian people.  It is horrific that a people who experienced such actions would inflict them on others.   But this show what can happen when right-wing movements turn into religious domination of the government.   The Israel government is now filled with extreme Jewish religious extremists who feel their holy book grants them all the territory around then that is the sovereign territory of other countries.   They feel their god gave it to them thousands of years ago so they have the right to take it.   Regardless of laws or norms between countries.  They want it so it should be theirs.  Just like Putin in Ukraine.  Israel talked our demented leader into going into war against their enemy which had no benefit for us but we took all the cost and risks.  The military equipment and weapons used in the genocide of the Palestinians was paid for by the US taxpayer.  Some quotes below.   Hugs

The ​UN commission said in its report, released on Tuesday, that Palestinian children were deliberately targeted and killed during the ‌war, including after a ceasefire came into effect ‌in October 2025.

“The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted and killed by the Israeli security forces,” said Srinivasan Muralidhar, the commission’s chair, in a statement accompanying the report.

“This indicates that ‌such attacks, which killed children in such high numbers, were intentional,” it said. It added that it believed children were targeted collectively because the Israeli security forces considered the civilian population as a whole to be associated with Hamas and other armed groups.

Muralidhar said that by targeting children, Israel was undermining the capacity of the Palestinian people to exist and to determine their future.

The inquiry also found that attacks ⁠on healthcare and reproductive facilities affected newborns’ survival and the reported increase in miscarriages, and that nearly all children in Gaza ​were reported to be in need of psychological support.

It said Palestinian children, especially boys, were subjected to systemic mistreatment in detention, including forced stripping, beatings and food deprivation.

    1. Hi Mindful. I agree it is heart breaking. I am so frustrated that no government can stand up to Israel because they either cry about the past or spend huge amounts of money to buy silence. Hugs

      1. I grew up with the sense that they would always be ‘the victim’ of atrocities and as such could do no wrong – I think that depleted that arrangement and now, morally, I find it impossible to look at them the same way… so many lives lost… here’s hoping future leadership change brings change.

        1. Hi Mindful. I would hope they could turn around. But sadly they have grown to like the feeling of supreme authority over all their neighboring countries. The religious fanatics that now control the country feel their god gave them the entire region and they won’t compromise. As long as the US is the big brother protecting the little bully Israel I don’t think things will change much. I have been horrified to read and watch how the people of Israel feel about Palestinians and how much they simply don’t view them as human. Remember the IDF soldiers who violently raped a paleistian man that he required life saving medical treatment. When the authorities tried to discipline the soldiers the public went crazy and broke into the courts and stopped the proceedings. The men then went on TV and bragged about raping Palestinian boys and men and torturing them freely. So until the Israeli public starts to feel the pain they are causing others they simply won’t change. I am sad to say this but I believe it. I always thought never again applied to everyone, but the Israelis believe it really means never again to us. Hugs
