🇮🇱 Benjamin Netanyahu
Time for a harsh truth: even with Netanyahu gone, the killing wont stop in Gaza | Owen Jones
What happened
Israeli politicians, including some in the opposition, have expressed views that dehumanize Palestinian children, with some considering them legitimate targets. The UN has documented cases of Israeli forces intentionally targeting and killing Palestinian children, and a doctor has testified that no child is shot twice by mistake. The Israeli government has been accused of waging a "war on children" in Gaza.
Why it matters
The dehumanization of Palestinian children by Israeli politicians and the killing of children by Israeli forces have significant public implications, as it undermines international efforts to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The situation is complex and has been ongoing for years, with no clear indication that it will change with a new government. The international community may need to apply pressure to bring about meaningful change.
