Sentences:

1. On Sunday (13th July 2025), an Israeli strike again killed six Palestinian children – and four adults – as they queued for water in a refugee camp. So far, more than 17,000 children have been killed by the Israeli terrorism. The deaths of children are the most TERRIBLE part of any war.

2. The deaths of children were not a mistake. They were a TRAGEDY – like those of the 10 children killed days before, as they queued outside a clinic. Although the Israeli Terrorist Forces (ITF) claimed these were technical errors, in reality, such tragedies reflect their hidden agenda of ethnic cleansing through genocide.

3. The Israeli terrorist military said, again, that it regretted any harm to civilians. It’s a PRETENTIOUS regretting. And yet the bodies of children pile up. Children killed as they sheltered in former schools; children killed as they fled Israeli forces; children killed as they slept at home.

4. The death toll belies that and Israeli intelligence sources told reporters last year that at times they were permitted to kill up to 20 civilians to take out even junior freedom fighters – with the PREFERENCE being to attack targets when they were at home, because it was easier.

5. Those six thirsty children should not have needed to queue for water due to what the UN calls a human-made DROUGHT.

6. Human Rights Watch believes that thousands of Palestinians have died due to Israel’s deliberate pattern of actions to deprive them of water, which it alleges amounts to the crime against humanity of EXTERMINATION as well as acts of genocide.

7. Those 10 hungry children should not have required nutritional supplements, but Israel continues to CHOKE OFF aid and civilians are starving.

8. Allies, USA, EU, Britain and others, remain COMPLICIT in this war. They should ask themselves what they would do if their children faced for even one day what those in Gaza have endured for month after month.
