UNICEF: Two Children Killed Daily. U.S. Continues Sending Billions.
The New Arab cites UNICEF's stark reminder: two children perished daily in Gaza, even after the October ceasefire (The New Arab, Nov 22, 2025). This isn't a 'conflict' where both sides have F-35s. This is a siege, a relentless assault, and a statistical nightmare for the under-18 demographic. Meanwhile, the U.S. Congress, with its collective heart seemingly insulated from such petty details,
continues to rubber-stamp aid packages. Senator Tim Kaine, for instance, who accepted $10,000 from AIPAC in 2022, voted in favor of HR 815, providing billions in supplementary aid, some for Israel, just recently. (OpenSecrets.org, HR 815, Feb 13, 2024) How many 'last warnings' will it take for Washington to realize these aren't 'surgical strikes' but a systematic eradication of childhood? One
might question the timing of unconditional aid when the body count of minors keeps climbing. Some call it policy; others, a quiet complicity in mass violence.
