I'm very concerned about the spike in violence in the West Bank.
 
An Israeli child was found killed after going missing yesterday.
 
So far this year, 35 Palestinian & 2 Israeli children have been killed in the West Bank.
 
All forms of violence against children must stop now.

The desperate parents gave permission to publish these.

In total, in the past 12 months, 1,926 attacks by Jews against Palestinians in the West Bank were recorded. FYI, President Biden: Their guns were U.S.-made, and the goal is for these weapons to terrorize people | Opinion | Amira Hass

The death in custody of Walid Daqqa, a 62-year-old Palestinian writer who was the longest-serving Palestinian prisoner in Israeli jails after 38 years of imprisonment, is a cruel reminder of Israel’s disregard for Palestinians’ right to life ⬇️

An information war has added to the trauma of the war in Gaza - obscuring facts and shifting blame.

Denying international journalists entry into Gaza is allowing disinformation and false narratives to flourish.

Why is there more global outrage at the killing of seven World Central Kitchen workers than the killing of more than 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza, two-thirds of them civilian? Oh, right, the seven were mainly internationals. Palestinian lives don't matter.

War in Gaza has reportedly killed over 13K children and injured countless more.

Homes, schools and hospitals in ruin. 

Teachers, doctors and humanitarians killed. 

Famine is imminent. 

The level and speed of destruction are shocking. 

Children need a ceasefire NOW.
