Facts:

  • At least 15,000 children have been killed since the war began in October 2023.
  • Many have died in airstrikes, building collapses, or stampedes at aid sites.
  • Thousands more have been injured, often with life-altering wounds, burns, or amputations.
  • Gaza is facing famine-like conditions.
  • Children are eating grass, leaves, or going days without food.
  • Severe malnutrition is widespread, especially in northern Gaza. Babies and toddlers are dying of hunger-related causes.
  • Nearly all children in Gaza are now considered to have signs of acute psychological trauma:
  • Nightmares
  • Bedwetting
  • Non-responsiveness (shutdown/dissociation)
  • Panic at loud sounds
  • Many have lost one or both parents, siblings, or entire families.
  • Most hospitals have been bombed or shut down.
  • Children can’t access basic care, vaccines, or treatment for chronic illnesses.
  • Wounded kids are operated on without anesthesia in some cases.
  • Over 1 million children have been displaced—many multiple times.
  • Families sleep in tents, rubble, or outdoors with no clean water or toilets.
  • Nearly all schools have been shut down, destroyed, or turned into shelters.
  • Many teachers and schoolchildren have been killed.
  • A whole generation risks growing up with no access to education or safety.
  • Children are drinking dirty water, leading to diarrheal diseases and infections.
  • Outbreaks of hepatitis, lice, and scabies are widespread.
  • Even in declared “safe zones” or aid areas, children have been shot, suffocated in stampedes, or killed by nearby strikes.
  • Some have died while queuing for water or food.

“There is no safe place left for children in Gaza. They are being killed, starved, maimed, and psychologically shattered. This is not a humanitarian crisis—this is a crisis of humanity.”
— Save the Children, July 2025

Seriously!

Note no blood at all on his body in the area around his arm and hardly anything that is visible on his shorts.

The people who spread this disgusting child exploitation propaganda are as bad as the people who actually create it.

Poor Baby,
There is just no path back from what's been inflicted on Palestinians.

Anyone who justifies this...

So I take it you regard any terrorist attack in the UK as an act of war and think the UK government should immediately go to war? You would presumably have had Ireland razed to the ground and the Irish people bombed then starved?

Why are you answering my question in response to something you posted, with a totally irrelevant question fully of hyperbole and supposition, to deflect from answering it?

What has Ireland got to do with this?

Lazy and desperate to conflate the IRA (who were bad enough) with Hamas.

You saw a child with their arm blown off, screaming in agony—and your first reaction was to accuse them of faking it. Not to feel horror. Not to ask why this is happening.

If you think a child would amputate their own arm and act through that kind of pain for propaganda, that says more about your own detachment from reality than anything else.

This isn’t brainwashing. This is what happens when people lose their humanity in the name of ideology. You don't have to support a political cause to recognise a child's suffering as real.

BelleHathor · 25/07/2025 12:57

Exhibit A. Foe "Why is Israel losing support" heartless comments like that.

The reason for the lack of blood is that a large percentage of Gazans are in the late stages of malnutrition, blood flow will be reduced significantly as will chance.of survival.

In all honesty, I think that dismissing this as Hamas propaganda is as bad as dismissing all Israeli information as Hasbara. I share your wariness of some of the stuff posted online, but there is no denying that stuff like this is happening. The question is how and why, and not just pointing the finger at Israel because it's obvious they have "caused" this.

I think next you'll say my friends 5 year old neice wasn't killed. She's just playing a game of hide and seek.

As are all the other thousands of children killed. Maybe you think Hamas is hiding them all somewhere and Palestinians are lying about them being killed so they can just make poor Israel look bad.

Not the first time. Jerusalem Post had to make a retraction because they posted a dead baby was a doll. So desperate the world doesn't know about the evil they are inflicting.

What you're experiencing is called moral collapse.

It’s when you’ve justified so much cruelty for so long that you no longer recognise a child’s pain as real—or worth caring about.
You’ve replaced empathy with ideology.
You’re not analysing. You’re not thinking critically.

You’re watching a child scream in agony and trying to convince yourself it’s fake because the truth is too uncomfortable.

That’s cognitive dissonance—when reality doesn’t fit the story you’ve told yourself, so instead of changing your views, you attack the truth itself.

You can’t admit this child is a victim, because then you’d have to admit something else: that maybe you’ve been defending the indefensible.

This isn’t strength. It’s collapse.

You’ve buried your compassion so deep, you now see the suffering of others as a threat to your worldview.

Ask yourself honestly:
Is your loyalty to the truth—or to your comfort?

Anonimummy · 25/07/2025 13:22

Or a collective collapse of intelligence from pro-Palestinians.

Anything not negative towards Israel is immediately dismissed as lies and ‘Hasbara’ but your blatantly fake Insta reel is immediately taken as fact.

Perfectly proves the point made earlier in the thread.

The IDF and Israeli 'settlers' have been stealing land and murdering Palestinians for years before Oct 7th. Israel's narrative that it is defending itself is ridiculous - they are armed to the teeth by the Americans and are attacking multiple neighbours largely in an attempt to distract from the genocide that they are bring to the Palestinians.

The fact that this is being done by a nation re-established out of the horrors of WW2 is a disgusting irony. Why is it OK to challenge Russia on their invasion of Ukraine and yet to challenge what Israel are doing to Palestine is deemed anti-semitic. The world is run by made, male, warmongering egomaniacs, surrounded by hand-wringing apologists.

I just don't understand why you would think anybody would have to fake it? Gaza has the most child amputees in the world. Why would someone go to all of the effort of faking it? The video could have been taken anytime over the past 2 years when Israel was creating all of those child amputees. At the height of the bombing more than 10 children were losing 1 or more of their límbs every single day. Why fake this one?

Evil. Pure evil. No matter how much you hate your enemies, this is evil.

Israeli Spokesperson Accuses BBC's Nick Robinson Of Lying About Gaza In Furious Row Live On Air | HuffPost https://share.google/oa00B8Do6ejC2nNxH

Did anybody hear this interview this morning on Radio 4? Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from the spokesperson.

Oh David Mencer is an absolute wanker! He tried the same shit with Channel 4s Krishnan Guru Murthy, accusing him of being an hamas supporter - Krishnan totally put him in his place!

businessflop25 · 25/07/2025 17:55

@Anonimummyif your so convinced the Israeli government are telling the truth and that all information coming out of Gaza is false then why would Israel not allow in foreign journalists?
Surely if they are telling the truth and have nothing to hide they would be willing to demonstrate that to the world? Journalists have been in the Ukraine from the outset of the Russian invasion.
So let the journalists in. Let the world come to its own conclusions

I couldn't copy the link but Dr Gabor Mate who survived the Holocaust as an infant has a very compassionate short video on Jewish Voice for Peace, it's well worth watching.

They’re in there now. Have they not reported on what they’ve seen yet? I wonder why?

The ones who have, have been dismissed on here.

Why do you think they weren’t allowed in when terrorists were running amok posing as civilians in civilian areas, firing rockets (a lot of which failed and hit in Gaza itself), booby trapping buildings and planting IEDs.

Do you think they would have chosen to embed with Hamas or the IDF for protection?

Hmmmmm
