'This Genocide Must End': Advocacy Group Raps Israeli Bombing of Gaza School
The United States’ largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization on Sunday condemned the latest “Israeli war crimes of the day,” including a new massacre at a school in Gaza, the killing of journalists and former detainees, and the forced displacement of almost the entire population of the Gaza Strip.
Israeli forces killed at least 16 people, mostly women children, in an airstrike on al-Jaouni school, a shelter for people displaced run by the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA. The majority of those injured were reportedly children playing in the streets at the school.
Five local journalists were killed by Israel in a separate strike, raising the toll of journalists killed by Israel since Oct. 7 to 108.
Palestinian detainees in Gaza have reported that after their release from an Israeli detention center, they were targeted by Israeli bombs, leading to a number of deaths. Anadolu news agency reports: “Regarding their treatment in prison, the Palestinian said ‘the army forces subjected us to physical torture and humiliation, throwing us on the ground, walking over our bodies, and even urinating on us.’”
CNN reports that nearly two million people – almost the entire population – have now been forcibly displaced in Gaza. The UN reports that children in Gaza can spend up to eight hours a day collecting water and food.

Israel has slaughtered more than 38,000 people in Gaza, mostly women and children.
In a statement, CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper said:
“It seems these daily Israeli war crimes targeting children, women, journalists, forcibly-displaced people, and prisoners no longer rate even a mention by the enablers of the genocide. The Biden administration is mute as these crimes are committed with its support and with American taxpayer-supplied bombs. This genocide must end and those who committed it and enabled it must be held accountable.”
