CHD President Mary Holland: ‘Children Should Have No Role in Violent Conflict’

Children’s Health Defense President Mary Holland today issued the following statement in response to media reports of violence affecting children in Gaza and Israel.
Our mission at Children’s Health Defense (CHD) is to protect children’s health and freedom, yet these ideals are impossible when children are trapped by terrorism and war.
CHD grieves for the children and families that have been injured or have died in violent conflicts occurring in the world today.
We condemn acts that intentionally or negligently target children. Children should have no role in violent conflict.

CHD calls on all parties, governmental and non-governmental, to seek diplomatic solutions. All children deserve health, freedom and peace.

The US' unconditional support of Israel is destroying the last pathetic shreds of its "moral standing" in the world:

"What do you think the world sees when they watch a trapped, stateless civilian population of 2.2 million people—half of whom are children—being obliterated by one of the world's most powerful militaries... backed and funded and armed by the world's most powerful?"

Prominent settler leader pushes Netanyahu to rebuild Israeli homes in Gaza

While critics say the strategy will undermine Israel’s security, the prime minister’s far right allies are keen to push Palestinians out of Gaza.

"Altogether, this year is turning into the deadliest in the West Bank since 2005. And there are growing fears more is to come. Itamar Ben-Gvir, a far-right Israeli minister overseeing the police, is giving rifles to West Bank settlers to form what he describes as “security squads” to protect settlements. Palestinians say this is inflammatory...

The prospect of the Israeli prime minister ultimately opting to reassert control over the Gaza Strip for the long haul terrifies Israel’s Western allies. There are rising fears in Washington and European capitals that Netanyahu might be unable to resist the raucous chorus for annexation, if he wants to preserve his governing coalition, which is dependent on religious nationalists and settlers.

This only adds to international unease about whether there’s a secret second goal for the war – namely the permanent uprooting of a large proportion of Gaza’s population, echoing past displacements of Palestinians, including the nakba (“catastrophe” in Arabic), the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in 1948.

Remarks from members of Netanyahu’s government – though not from any ministers in the emergency war cabinet – are only fueling fears.

This week Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter, a former head of the Shin Bet intelligence service, said on television: 'We are now rolling out the Gaza nakba.'"

Nov 13, 2023: "The ongoing bombardment of the Gaza Strip has resulted in the tragic loss of over 11,078 lives. In Gaza, family portraits have become portraits of Israeli genocide. Hundreds of Palestinian families in Gaza have lost multiple members to the indiscriminate Israeli bombardment, while numerous families have been entirely wiped off the registry. The situation is so gruesome that doctors coined a new acronym to describe the status of orphaned children at Gaza hospitals: "Wounded Child No Surviving Family," or W.C.N.S.F (as per an interview with Dr. Tanya Haj Hasan).
Such terms should not exist. This is genocide." [Visualizing Palestine]

"We still have not revenged in a biblical way…we did not burn Gaza to ashes immediately. Create a tremendous humanity crisis. Level the entire area. Do not leave a stone upon stone in Gaza. Gaza needs to turn to Dresden. Annihilate Gaza now!"

#Israeli politician Moshe Feiglin

"Palestinians do not exists in Israeli's consciousness".

One of my most important conversation. Period. Do share, please.

Nurit Peled-Elhanan is an Israeli philologist, professor of language and education at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, translator, and activist. She is a 2001 co-laureate of the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought awarded by the European Parliament.

In 1997, Nurit's daughter, Smadar, was killed during the Ben Yehuda street Palestinian suicide attack.

We speak today about the silencing of internal critics in Israel, the Israeli education system and the propaganda in place in Israel from a very early age, to the "Where do we go now?" question.

"The men were taking video or photos of themselves with the World Trade Center burning in the background, she said. What struck Maria were the expressions on the men's faces. "They were like happy, you know … They didn't look shocked to me. I thought it was very strange," she said.

The arresting officers said they saw a lot that aroused their suspicion about the men. One of the passengers had $4,700 in cash hidden in his sock. Another was carrying two foreign passports. A box cutter was found in the van. But perhaps the biggest surprise for the officers came when the five men identified themselves as Israeli citizens.

The driver of the van, Sivan Kurzberg, told the officers, "We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem."
