Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

Calling it a war is a lie. There is only 1 army here. The people dying are innocent civilians. They cut off water food and medical supplies to 2.1 million people. They're bombing homes, shelters, hospitals, evacuees.

This didn't just start this month. This is the culmination of 40 years of apartheid. And this is a textbook attempt at genocide and ethnic cleansing.
