Gaza: the Washington Post publishes the names of 18,500 children killed by Israel

In Gaza, the massacre no longer knows any limits. More than 100,000 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the war launched by Israel on October 7, 2023. A war? No. A genocide, methodical, assumed, documented.

THE Washington Post has just published unbearable evidence: names and ages of 18,500 Palestinian children murdered. These data come from the Ministry of Health of Gaza, which lists each death from hospitals, Morgues, family testimonies and journalistic sources. Among the victims, 915 infants did not even have a year. Each age group between 0 and 12 years old has at least 800 children killed. From 13 to 17 years old, around 1,000 dead for each age. It is an extermination of children, on an industrial scale.

“Some were killed in their beds. Others playing. Many have been buried before you even learned to walk, ”writes the Post. UNICEF declares that Gaza is the most dangerous place in the world for a child. Faced with this crime against humanity, Israel denies, lies, erases the evidence, while continuing its company with total destruction. The Israeli government rejects the Palestinian balance sheets, calling them “propaganda”, without ever providing credible count. A concealment strategy, while the figures speak for themselves: it is an entire population that is targeted.

Meanwhile, the Western powers are accomplices by their silence, their military support or their double speech. The recognition of the state of Palestine should have been an act of justice, a lever for pressure against the occupation, a strong gesture for peace. But in the absence of concrete commitments, it remains largely symbolic, without real political translation.

Some European countries have recognized it, without concrete effect. The big capitals continue to treat Israel as a rule of law, while he commits with impunity of mass crimes against an army without an army, without a refuge, speechless. The current genocide in Gaza is neither a debate nor an opinion. It is a reality. A filmed, encrypted, crying, and ignored reality. History will judge. But how many children will still have to die before international law finally applies to Israel?
