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.

Three things I love in one video.  I really enjoy The Majority Report, I love why they have Digby on, and I am very supportive of Platner’s progressive anti establishment corporate democrats policies.  As Digby says the party is much more left today that it used to be since the 90s and the center is much more right than it was.   She says we have to push back hard against the push to the right that the establishment cooperate democrat’s leadership has made.  Hugs

Let’s talk about DOD trashing the Constitution and Latter-day Saints….

As I have written about before this is simply a move by Christian nationalists in the military and government to force everyone to conform to their religious beliefs and desires.  This is again to return to the 1950s when it was normal for Christianity to seem like the dominant religion of the majority of people in the country.  The reasons stated make so sense for the purpose claimed as Belle points out.  This is a minority fundamentalist / evangelical believers trying to force their rule and beliefs onto the majority.   Hugs

Is This The Moment Dan Goldman Lost His Re-Election?

Another sitting congress person who is bought and owned by Israel to the point where he is adamant that Israel was not breaking the Leahy law on the use of military weapons.   How did we the people let so many of our congress people be owned by foreign governments?  Oh yes it was citizens united.   That was one of the SCOTUS rulings that made bribery legal because the majority of right wing justices on the courts were taking bribes from wealthy people.   Hugs
