Hey, guess which group of people are at a critical developmental stage and currently witnessing the extreme indiscriminate killing of their entire families.
Doesn’t matter if it’s cause Hamas is using them as shield. It doesn’t matter if Israelíes as a whole (or at least a whole lot of them) stand against their government and this action. It doesn’t matter because they and their families are still being exterminated in front of their eyes.
This is creating millions of pissed off people that will hold a grudge their entire life.
And then there is the trauma. When the fighting stops, the cost to children and their communities will be borne out for generations to come. Before this latest escalation, more than 800,000 children in Gaza – three quarters of its entire child population – were identified as needing mental health and psychosocial support. That’s before this latest nightmare.
1,000,000 children are being denied a livable present and future. The clock is ticking. Please call your local representatives.
