Forced starvation, rape, and being set upon by dogs.
In addition to the daily murder by bombs and inhumane conditions in Gaza, this is what Palestinian children are enduring under Israel’s brutal military occupation.
These are just some of the horrors of this genocide and of Israel’s illegal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. Tragically, not much is new. The different formats of violence have been documented for years by organisations you will find in references at the end of this article (back in 2022, I, too, recorded an episode on Israeli policies that intentionally harm Palestinian children).
In my video, I talk about just a fraction of what supremacy, fascism, and complete impunity look like on the bodies of Palestinian children.
You can also find it as a podcast episode below.
If you’re a Lithuanian speaker, I have another video, in Lithuanian, here.
See the Save the Children UK statement here.
UNICEF’s report here regarding 50,000 children killed or injured in Gaza.
Israel Katz’s announcement of building a ‘humanitarian city’ in Gaza here.
My episode on Israel being blacklisted by the UN for intentionally harming children in conflict.
Most importantly, find and support the work of Defence for Children International – Palestine here.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.

Your Antiwar Voice Is Needed More Than You Might Think
The war machine won’t stop until it’s stopped, just as its propaganda won’t just disappear on its own. It was to be actively pointed to, deconstructed, and rejected as loudly as possible. And this is where everyone’s voice matters.
Good News: We Are on a Boat Ride Together; Bad News: It’s Being Steered by Psychopaths
We’re on a boat steered by psychopaths — and they’re not taking us anywhere nice. As the U.S. and Israel are destroying Lebanon and Iran, one thing can’t be clearer: it is the whole world that has to make them stop.
