Zionist 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.
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.
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.”
Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner General
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.
