Israel joins Daesh, al-Qaeda in UN blacklist of child rights violators

Israel has been added to the United Nations' so-called list of shame, which is included in an annual report on children and armed conflict submitted by Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ office which documents rights violations against children in armed conflicts.

Data on the number of children killed and injured in Gaza includes 15,000 killed and over 50,000 acutely malnourished.

  Israel on UN blacklist of child rights violators

  The Israeli regime is finally on the UN black list for its harm against children during conflict.

I am appalled by the dramatic increase and unprecedented scale and intensity of grave violations against children in the Gaza Strip, Israel and the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, despite my repeated calls for parties to implement measures to end grave violations.

UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres 

This is the first time that Israel has been included; it joins the ranks of Daesh, as we call it, al-Qaeda, and also Boko Haram.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not take kindly to this.

The UN has put itself on the blacklist of history today, when it joined the supporters of the Hamas murders.

The IOF is the most moral army in the world and no delusional decision by the UN will change that.

A UN resolution has been drafted, which condemns the Israeli apartheid regime and considers the Israeli occupation army to be an organization that kills children.

Now this raises great concern among senior officials in the occupation because it has practical consequences and could prevent arms supplies to Israel by countries that may impose an arms embargo on Tel Aviv.

The warning signs were all there such as this one issued on March 12, by Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General:

Staggering. The number of children reported killed in just over four months in Gaza is higher than the number of children killed in 4 years of wars around the world combined."

  Gaza: No place for children

  The genocidal Israeli war on Gaza has inflicted immense suffering on innocent civilians, particularly children, whose lives have been shattered by airstrikes, displacement, and loss of loved ones.

It is estimated that around 15,000 children were killed, which surpasses the number of children killed in conflicts around the world from 2019 to 2022.

Since the seventh of October more than 37,200 Palestinians, including approximately 15,000 children and over 10,000 women, have been killed by the Israeli army in Gaza.

Data shows that 42 bombs are dropped on an hourly basis resulting in the death of 10 children per hour.

  UNICEF says unless treatment can be quickly resumed for these children, they are at immediate and serious risk of becoming critically ill.

According to the WHO, more than four in five children had gone a whole day without food. Many children have died of malnutrition in Gaza since the onslaught began. More than 50,000 children are actually acutely malnourished at this point.

Ten children per day, on average, have lost one or both of their legs in Gaza since this genocide erupted three months ago.

UNICEF estimates that over 2000 children in Gaza have become amputees since the onslaught began in October.

  A 13-year-old Palestinian has lost his life due to Israeli-imposed starvation in the central Gaza Strip.

Looking at the previous Gaza wars, it is clear that a disproportionate number of children have been killed in the current conflict.

In 2014, a total of 532 were killed, but that figure pales in comparison with how many children have been killed in this current genocide, which stands at 15,000.

  The World Health Organization says Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has afflicted over 8,000 children, who are under five years of age, with acute malnutrition.

Since 1967, Israel has systematically targeted Palestinians, utilizing arbitrary detention, which includes torture, preventing access to water and appropriate sanitary services, a clear violation of children's rights and also the psychological trauma that's been caused by the violence of Israeli forces.

This has angered rights groups who are asking why Israel had not been placed on this violence against children list long ago.
