The Jewish Community Relations Council attacked a talk I gave to the U.S.’s largest children’s mental health system as “antisemitic” because I discussed Palestinian trauma. My employer bowed to the pressure. JCRCs all over the US work to stop Americans from learning the facts.
Behind the staggering death toll of 17,000 children in Gaza are faces, names, and dreams that will never be realized. Here are a few.
The Palestinian youth inherited from past generations a love of the land, preserving the dream of return, and for that, they must be eliminated.
Israel’s onslaught against the Palestinian people has systematically targeted children in both Gaza and the West Bank. The result is a war against an entire generation.
Childhood in the Gaza Strip is unlike anywhere else in the world. Here, thanks to Israel, a ten-year-old has already experienced the violence of three wars and has spent his entire life under brutal blockade.
