Gaza / PNN – Not only are children in the Gaza Strip losing their parents, missing food, medicines and school, they are being killed.
Israeli forces took the lives of at least 30 children in Gaza since air attacks began on Saturday. A statement issued by the Global Movement for the Defense of Children says its initial reports indicate that another 150 children are injured.
The first children hit en masse were during struck during the beginning of the attacks when they were leaving school. Dozens of school children were raced to area hospitals in Gaza City on Saturday. Among the children killed are the sisters in Jabaliya yesterday and the eight year old boy today in Khan Younis.
The British university movement to boycott Israel wrote in their petition, "'Children,' says an Israeli spokeswoman, 'are legitimate targets because if they inhabit a house allegedly being used to manufacture home-made rockets to fire into Israel, they are 'terrorists' themselves.'"
The international children’s agency Global Defense for Children called today on the United Nations Security Council to convene an emergency session. The UNSC has yet to take effective action to force Israel to stop its aggression or apply previous UN resolutions, which include an end to occupation.
Defense for Children asked that the European Union and its member states seek to for the application of the rules of international humanitarian law. The Israeli administration has a poor record internationally when it comes to Palestinian children with at least 300 in its prisons.
The EU is under heavy pressure by humanitarian organizations to impose sanctions on Israel and to cease all diplomatic relations.
At the same time the High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Conventions are obliged to respect and enforce the convention as stated in Article I. Those who violate it are subject to criminal charges of crimes against humanity. The Global Defense for Children noted today that the individual criminal responsibility does not become obsolete and that at some point all will be prosecuted.

| Comment by philip travers - 30 Dec 2008 - 12:17 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | Israelis,seem to pride themselves on some sort of highly intelligent citizenry,t hat automatically must then get the support of the Grand Extended Diaspora.There maybe some women of high intelligence and care,that would like the Palestinian Women the right to abortion.Whilst I support women's Rights on this issue in Aus tralia,the woman mentioned in the article,is one of the living.Who knows ,some from the extended diaspora,may visit this site,and conclude killing five children like this,is a deplorable thing to rationalise away,the way she has.Lets hope,she hasn't got any kids,after all I would be feeling the injustice deeper if she does have kids.And this statement,by the Israeli woman alone,makes my sympathies,deeper towards the Palestinians.Children at the age in the photo are innocent,just young kids!What their parents do,simply cannot be rationalised away like that. I hope,our Government refuses any entry of her and immediate family into Australia,under all conditions. |

| Comment by wargames - 31 Dec 2008 - 07:15 [REGISTERED USER] | | The "Israeli spokeswoman" quoted in the article proves that the Israelis, at lea st those that support their fiendish government, have become subhuman monsters. They are human demons. The children lived in a house in which, ALLEGEDLY, home -made rockets were produced! ALLEGEDLY!!! Therefore the children WERE TERRORIS TS THEMSELVES!!!! What was it Jesus said? "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, FOR OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN." Elsewhere, He says, again referring to children, "... their angels always behold the face of My Father Who is in heaven." Well, obviously, Jesus supported terrorism!!! So, obviously, did His Father, God!!! And the house ALLEGEDLY produced home-made rockets, but, she is saying, who cares? We would have killed them anyway!!! What fiends! What butchers! What kind of person can say this and still claim to worship God, which, since she is one of the "Chosen People," she must. The god this woman worships is not God, but the Devil! |
