The situation is such that hundreds of Palestinian children find their homes unsafe amid Israeli bombardment, and are practically displaced along with their families. Parents of Palestinian children in the current situation, the only thing they can do is to try to protect the lives of their children by any means, and this is the report of human rights slogans from the US and the West.
In Israel’s horrific attacks on the Gaza Strip, children are among the main victims of these attacks. This is not the first time that Palestinian children have been killed amid the double standards of Western governments and the silence of the media, but amidst this silence and support, Israel has been killing Palestinian children, women and the elderly for decades, without anyone following up on the gross violation of rights and the massacre and genocide of Palestinians, especially Palestinian children.

Right now, in Gaza, where Israeli forces have killed more than 1,030 Palestinian children in less than a week, injuring hundreds more and displacing hundreds of thousands more, no child is safe.
The world has truly failed to support children. Most of the world’s political authorities, led by the United States and the European Union, are actually complicit in encouraging Israel’s machine of killing, maiming, torturing, and detaining Palestinian children. And, of course, they are equal partner in Israel’s criminality. For decades Israel has continued crimes against the Palestinian people, especially children, with complete judicial impunity.
Palestinian children under a complete siege
Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip have been living under a complete siege imposed by Israel on the area for 16 years. Gaza is place where children suffering from cancer have to obtain various permits to leave the Gaza Strip for their treatment. This is where Israel checks everyone and everything upon entry and exit.
These are the realities of Gaza for which the Western world has laid the groundwork to realize. Of course, we should not ignore Israel’s heavy bombardment of the Gaza Strip. In less than a week, Israel has dropped more than 6,000 bombs on the Gaza Strip. Simply, Israel drops a bomb on the Gaza Strip every 30 seconds.

The Israeli army is carrying out a fierce bombardment, including phosphorus bombs, on Gaza Strips with US President Joe Biden green signal. The man who has repeatedly said that America’s support for the Israeli regime is unwavering. The practical meaning of this stance is that whatever Netanyahu and the Israeli military do in the future is fully approved and supported by Biden and the US government.
US and West role in Gaza bombardment
Instead of making every possible effort to establish a ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip as soon as possible, the Biden government has actively put on the agenda various measures so that Israel will have more and broader opportunities to attack the Gaza Strip. It is interesting that senior US officials and diplomats constantly portray themselves as neutral and pretend that they are against bloodshed and the continuation of military and violence.
Recently, Israeli authorities have shown violent statements and behavior and have led to the killing of large numbers of Palestinians. The equation shows that they are absolutely determined to enter the second Nakba in history (after the formation of Israel, which was the first Nakba).
Ongoing Palestinian genocide
They bomb various residential areas in the Gaza Strip and deprive Palestinian families of some of their basic rights cuch as access to water, food, medicine, electricity and fuel. According to the rules of international law, genocide is strictly prohibited and means laying the ground for killing a significant number of the population of a nation or ethnic group for the purpose of destroying that nation or group.
Genocide can be the result of killing human beings or creating extremely unbearable living conditions for them. More than 1,000 Palestinian children have so far been killed as a result of Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip. In 2014, Israel killed 535 Palestinian children in 50 days during its attack on the Gaza Strip and now kills more than 1,000 children in a week. This is the truth that shows how much destruction Israel has caused in the Gaza Strip. Of course, the current situation also leaves a large number of Palestinian children injured, orphaned or missing.

It must be acknowledged that the US government and its allies are the main perpetrators of crimes and violations against the rights of Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip. And this situation is nothing but the result of empty slogans of American and Western human rights.
