Gazan children giving a press conference in November 2023, saying “We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace… we want to live as the other children live.”

‘Israel’ is killing children because it wants to kill children. Palestinian children are the future of Palestine and ‘Israel’ does not want a future Palestine. That’s why ‘Israel’ is massacring children and macerating everything needed to keep them alive. The point of a system is what it does, and we’ve all been watching ‘Israel’ methodically kill children for months now.

‘Israel’ doesn’t even hide its intentions. IOF t-shirts read ‘1 Shot 2 Kills’ over an image of a pregnant Palestinian. Israeli footballer Shon Weisman said, “the children of Gaza in 2014 became murderers in 2023.” Settler WhatsApp groups say “eliminate today the terrorists of tomorrow.” The ‘Israeli’ state drops flyers with names and pictures of children that it is blackmailing and threatening with death. These sorts of statements are endemic in the non-endemic colony.

There is both a very public bloodlust towards the young of Palestine and a very public policy of killing, abducting, abusing, and starving them. ‘Israelis’ say what they’re doing and then they do it quite openly. They want to kill Palestinian children because they want to kill a future…
