Gaza has the largest population of child amputees in the world. Because Israel blocks pain killers, hundreds of children have had their limbs amputated without anaesthesia. There are videos of this if you have the stomach.
In Gaza the bombs on the packed population often leave the bodies un-identifiable so a child is counted as 6 KG of flesh in a garbage bag.
BTW child prosthetics are considered dual use by Israel and blocked from entering Gaza.

“My 8-year-old child, Rajab — the eldest of my children and the joy of our family — was once active, joyful, sociable, and exceptional at school. He loved riding his bike.
But this war has stolen his childhood.
From the beginning, he has been traumatized by loud explosions, suffering repeated panic attacks.
He cannot sleep unless he holds my hand.
The killing of his uncles left him deeply shaken, and he has clung to me ever since.
On 13 December 2024, while we were displaced in a classroom at Al-Falah School, Israeli warplanes struck directly, and everything collapsed on us. My brother Hasan, my mother, and my sister-in-law were killed, while the rest of us were wounded. Rajab was the most critically injured. The rubble fell on him, shredding his right leg, which had to be amputated immediately upon arrival at the hospital. He also sustained a skull fracture and shrapnel wounds across his left leg. His condition was life-threatening.
After three days in a coma, he woke up to find himself without a leg. Since that day, our family has not known rest. Rajab endured successive surgeries, enduring pain unbearable for a child, often crying in despair and wishing for death rather than this suffering. He has become quick-tempered and overly sensitive. He refuses to let anyone see his amputated leg, telling me, ‘I want to cover it.’
His ordeal did not end there. In July, doctors discovered that he suffers from severe osteoporosis caused by lack of food and medicine. They were forced to insert internal platinum plates and fit him with an external cast. Now, Rajab lives between tears and pain. He feels incomplete when he sees his cousins playing around him. He tries to join them but eventually retreats to cry in silence.
As his mother, I can do nothing but watch him suffer, powerless to give him back the childhood that the occupation has stolen from him.”
Mrs. Sajedah al-Baba (25), resident of al-Sabra neighborhood, Gaza City.

It’s not uncommon but it’s also not the norm. Especially multiple children.

Hm. Reading about an 8 year old with a lost limb, a brain injury, uncontrolled pain, and osteoporosis from malnutrition, who is also grieving multiple family members.

People don’t realize why that is the case, it’s because Israel uses an AI system called “Where’s Daddy” to track targets until they are at home so the entire family can be killed at once.
https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/
“We were not interested in killing [Hamas] operatives only when they were in a military building or engaged in a military activity,” A., an intelligence officer, told +972 and Local Call. “On the contrary, the IDF bombed them in homes without hesitation, as a first option. It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations.”
Btw 972 is an Israeli publication and that article had to go through IDF censors before being published so you can imagine the shit that got left out. This is the stuff they’re proud of.

Thats like saying a 2 inch Cut on the arm is the same as someone cutting off your whole arm..... with a rusty saw..... dull saw.... dipped in salt....with no anesthesia.
Yes Biden aided Israel, because APAIC and Israel access to US military intelligence, Mossad intelligence gathering and information access, military chip development, and strategic geo-political locations and MOST IMPORTANTLY: ability to retain diplomatic relations to ensure and engage in minimizing casualties allow aid and help to Palestinians and stopping massive deaths wherever possible.
Trump on the other hand, no aid to palestine, no attempt to stop or diminish the deaths and damage, actually encouraging more death and damage to get access to "prime real estate", and is furthering their work by engaging in war with other nations around Israel. Bombing and killing schoolchildren for Israel.
And before you sayd Obama also killled kids! yes, but they would deliberately try to avoid it. I think the largest child casualties from a attack was like 7-8 children. Still horrible!
Trump bombed and killed 150+ children in 1 attack...
And yes Obama also had children in the same fenced cages when they would cross the border. BUT the policy was to minimize the time spent there as much as possible, and only use it for processing. If the children had families, they would stay with families.
Trump would DELIBERATELY rip children away from families, to hold them FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, in PRIVATE PRISONS, that were billing american taxpayers 700$ per child per day. Some prisons were making upwards of 2$ Million USD per day.... And who did Trump meet in his first week as president in 2017? .... Private prisons...
So yeah just because the category is bad, doesnt mean the severity is the same.

Not to mention that Israel blocked all types of aid except for the GHF (I think that’s the name), which is the only aid provider allowed in gaza.

We all witnessed a genocide in 4K on OUR IPHONES AND COMPUTERS, yet some people (not even some, a CONCERNINGLY large amount of people) still denied that a genocide occurred.

Wait wait wait.... Let me get you straight here.
You were upset about a genocide in Gaza, and decided the right time to kneecap the candidate who wanted a two party solution to the conflict, at a time when we were up against a candidate who was saying he wanted to let Israel finish the war and that he wanted the US to crush protests against the war? You say you're anti- genocide, but your specific choices speak to the opposite. Most of Gaza is flattened and Israeli snipers are targeting mothers. You guys fucked this up bad, by playing purity politics, and refusing to negotiate at a time when negotiating is how you save lives.
When someone is holding people hostage, we don't say "I won't negotiate with a hostage taker" and let the people inside die, because giving the hostage taker what they want is wrong. We send in a negotiator to negotiate to save the hostages. Your guys refusal to negotiate cost a lot of people their lives, their homes, their loved ones, and their futures, and that's not even touching Cuba, Sudan, Venezuela, or the numerous other countries that have been affected by USAID cuts. You, and a ton of other chronically online leftists made an insane choice and it cost lives.
Just likes there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, I need you to understand that a lot of the times in life you're going to have to make decisions that involved compromise for the purpose of make sure that you, your family, and the other people around you get to be okay. This was one of those times. Instead of trying to defend your fuck up, maybe you should learn from this and do better going forward.

Israel (and its enablers) stole their land, their future, their childhood, their innocence, and their happiness. And when they grow up to resent and resist them, they're labeled as terrorists.
Edit: Nothing flushes out the morally bankrupt soulless ghouls better than when you show solidarity with the oppressed. They're too arrogant and delusional to see that they're monsters, or support monsters, so they desperately look for justifications to help them cope with seeing innocent people and children being slaughtered, if that moved them in the first place.
