Israel’s ‘Seemingly Endless’ Massacres of Gaza Kids Denounced
At least 30 bodies have been recovered from the United Nations-run al-Nasr and Hassan Salama schools after Israeli air attacks, with children reportedly accounting for 80 percent of those killed and wounded. CNN reported: “In the videos, medics and rescuers carry injured children to waiting ambulances.”
The New York Times reported: “A recent assessment by the United Nations found that nearly 85 percent of Gaza’s schools have been destroyed or damaged during the war, with more than half of the school buildings used as shelters hit directly.”
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the United States’ largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, on Sunday condemned the attacks.
CAIR said US President Joe Biden either “doesn’t know or doesn’t care” about the Israeli regime’s daily massacres of Palestinian children after the administration failed to condemn the latest Israeli bombing of Palestinian civilians, an airstrike on a school sheltering displaced persons in Gaza City that killed at least 17 people, most of them women and children.
In a statement, CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper said:
“These seemingly endless massacres of Palestinian children by forces of the far-right Israeli government are carried daily with the silence and support of the Biden administration. Americans who value human rights and the lives of children, whatever their religion or ethnicity, will long remember this administration’s actions and inaction in the face of genocide.”

Last week, CAIR said the Biden administration must take action after Israeli authorities announced a new seizure of Palestinian land in the West Bank and Israeli forces again massacred civilians in the Gaza Strip.
CAIR also said the administration must act on more reports of torture Palestinian prisoners after 15 prisoners released by Israel in Gaza say they were beaten, deprived of food, forced to remain in harsh physical positions throughout the day, and attacked by dogs. “They broke our hands and feet,” one of the former prisoners said. The Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs also reported that a Palestinian from Gaza held in an Israeli prison has died after being tortured. Israeli officials have defended the torture of Palestinian detainees.
