The Guardian reports 235 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank since October 7, 2023. A further 5 were killed by Israeli settlers. According to human rights group B'Tselem, Israel's system "effectively gives them a licence to kill." The military claims 96% of those killed were "involved in terrorism," but B'Tselem found no evidence that any of the 54 children killed in 2025 posed a threat or belonged to militant groups.

Fuck Israel and fuck all Zionists and their apologists

Never forget how Israeli snipers celebrated killing pregnant women as a "twofer"

Because they clearly presented a threat...

It's gross that they're using religious oppression as a shield for doing monstrous atrocities. We don't care what religion you have! What we want is for you to stop killing innocent civilians and children!

Wow, that's nearly 1% as many children as they killed in Gaza during the same time period.

There's literally no one else with the genocide credentials to do it

Israel commits war crimes.

Gaza was an open air prison that was used as a shooting range for the IDF to practice cruelty and train in a murderous intent into their soldiers. It would teach the government as well what soldiers they could rely on and social force others to step in line. Unfortunately they were just to good at it and there are still more young people to teach to hate, so they moved.

Its the same reason they won't leave Lebanon now either. They need a new place for target practice and they will have to keep moving as they decimate the last place they use.
