US/ISRAEL SLAUGHTER OF CHILDREN: Over 20,000 Children Missing In Gaza, With ‘Unknown Number’ In Mass Graves: Report
37 minutes readMARK TAYLOR—The humanitarian group Save the Children estimated Monday that around 21,000 kids are missing in the Gaza Strip as Israel’s military continues its assault on the enclave, reducing much of the Palestinian territory to rubble.
Roughly 4,000 kids are likely buried under that debris, according to Save the Children, while at least 17,000 are unaccompanied, an “unknown number” are in mass graves, and others have been “detained and forcibly transferred out of Gaza, their whereabouts unknown to their families amidst reports of ill-treatment and torture.”
A child protection specialist with Save the Children said that the group finds more unaccompanied children every day in Gaza, where parents and entire families have been wiped out by Israel’s relentless bombing campaign and ground invasion.

HASSAN NASRALLAH—Addressing Israeli casualties, the Resistance leader accused the Israeli occupation of concealing its losses in the north. “The enemy hides its losses on the northern front but could not conceal the number of those who have evacuated settlements,” he asserted.
He criticized the global media’s portrayal of the war, saying, “Since the beginning of Operation al-Aqsa Flood, there has been a global media machine whose mission is to belittle the actions of the support fronts and the resistance in Gaza.”

It turns out Europeans aren’t as sheeplike as the Euroelites thought they were
by Don Hank70 Mins readDON HANK—We used to call people like this the ruling class. These high appointees understand what American values are, and today American values are standing by Israel even as it massacres thousands of children. These values surely have to do with the importance of Zionist donors to Joe Biden and universities, but they go beyond that to the makeup of the U.S. establishment. Pro-Israel voices — including Jewish Zionists — are a significant element of corporate culture. They are a generational force. Young progressives and young Jews are rejecting Israel. But they aren’t in the power structure.

IMAN ABO QAMAR—Frantically, I dialed his number. No reply.
My husband did make it home safely later that day. His testimony of what occurred was frightening.
He spoke about how the sounds of chatter and business that normally fill Nuseirat’s streets were replaced with cries of pain.
He spoke about a general sense of panic.
He spoke about how “bodies littered the streets and the injured struggled to find help.”
Nedaa al-Tahrawi was at home in Nuseirat when she heard gunfire piercing the air.
Her family quickly assembled in one room after hearing her brother shout that the camp was being invaded.
“The situation was terrifying,” Nedaa said. “Before long, there was a deafening explosion that shook the ground itself.”
The family tried to flee their home. But there was a huge crater outside which meant they could not escape.
