Grieve the Beloved Children: Israel and the War on Children
Judith Deutsch
The Palestinian Health Ministry reported on June 1st that a beautiful young woman medic, Razan Ashraf Najjar, 21, was the second medic to be killed by Israeli army fire since March 30th. To date, Israel has killed 130 and injured more than 13,400 non-violent people in Gaza for protesting the siege. Among the injured are 238 medics, 29 shot with live fire after being directly targeted with high-velocity gas bombs.
Still, Israel is accorded impunity. Even when crimes are acknowledged, they "may" constitute a war crime or a crime against peace (Nuremberg), Israel’s destruction of Gaza’s entire infrastructure "may" render Gaza unliveable by 2017, 2018, 2019 or 2020, Gaza "may" be a... humanitarian disaster, or Israel’s use of unconventional weapons in 2006, 2009, 2014 and 2018 should be investigated. And always underreported is the participation of nations and institutions in Israel’s "military-securitization-pacification" complex. Israel has long violated arms embargoes imposed on some of the most murderous regimes, and has produced and used prohibited weapons with impunity. Germany recently donated to Israel a submarine capable of carrying 144 nuclear warheads (as part of its Holocaust reparations!).
