War on Terrorists Now 'Mostly Children Killed,' Say Reports
Al Jazeera reports that an Israeli attack on a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon resulted in 'mostly children killed.' This tragic update follows decades of similar incidents across the region, from Sabra and Shatila (1982) to Jenin (2002), where refugee camps have frequently borne the brunt of military operations. These camps, often depicted as terrorist strongholds, are in fact densely
populated communities, born of the 1948 Nakba, sustained by international neglect, and perpetually vulnerable. Instead of dissecting the historical pattern of targeting refugee populations—a clear violation of international law—Western media often defaults to the sanitized 'collateral damage' narrative. Meanwhile, U.S. politicians continue to rubber-stamp unconditional aid. For example, Rep. Steny
Hoyer, a long-time recipient of significant AIPAC donations (over $200k in 2022-2024 per OpenSecrets.org), consistently votes for military packages to Israel, including aid that funds the very weapons used in these attacks. How many children must die before 'self-defense' becomes indefensible?
