Accusations that Israel deliberately targets children in Gaza
A fierce condemnation of Israel's conduct in Gaza, accusing it of deliberately killing children — bad news for Israel's image and for any push toward reconciliation with its critics.
- Israel is accused of routinely killing children with snipers and drones, with documentation backing the claims.
- A 2018 UN report is cited as finding that Israel targeted children, journalists, medics, and even double amputees far from the Gaza fence.
- That report predates October 7, meaning the alleged pattern was in place well before the current war.
- The accusation frames Israel as a "nation of child killers," rejecting calls to be inclusive or conciliatory toward it.
Outlook: Rhetoric this harsh is spreading into mainstream U.S. conservative media, signaling that pressure on Israel over Gaza is unlikely to ease soon.
