This isn’t exactly a surprise.
I don’t really know that you would need a report to be aware of this fact.
Where else on earth are people engaged in the wholesale slaughter of children?
“The most children killed ever in history” would be a good report, but there were more killed during Allied massacres in World War II.
Maybe “highest percentage of child deaths of any armed conflict”? That seems right and would be a shocking statistic to produce a study on.
But most children killed this year? Yeah, I think everyone knew that.
More grave violations against children were committed in Gaza, the West Bank and Israel than anywhere else in the world last year, according to a UN report due to be published this week.
The report on children and armed conflict, which has been seen by the Guardian, verified more cases of war crimes against children in the occupied territories and Israel than anywhere else, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar, Somalia, Nigeria and Sudan.
“Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory presents an unprecedented scale and intensity of grave violations against children,” the report said.
…
The report details only cases that UN investigators were able to verify, so it accounts for just part of the total number of deaths and injuries of children in the course of last year.
In all, the UN verified “8,009 grave violations against 4,360 children” in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank – more than twice the figures for the DRC, the next worst place for violence against children.
Of the total number of child victims verified, 4,247 were Palestinian, 113 were Israeli.
Who were the Israeli children?
It seems like I would have heard about that.
Are they talking about Ben Shapiro’s “40 decapitated babies”?
Did he raise that number from 40 to 113?
Why is the UN using Ben Shapiro as a source?
Imagine what they did when we weren’t able to monitor so closely.
Yes, those are children.
And yes, that’s a man with a bilateral BKA hobbling on the stumps of his amputation site.
