ISRAELI MP: ‘GAZA KIDS TO BLAME FOR WAR!’

In any war - be it Sudan’s ongoing civil war or Israel’s campaign in Gaza - child deaths are the hardest to bear.

In the case of Gaza, the number of children killed has been astronomical - over 3,000 in the span of a few weeks. According to Save the Children, that’s more than the annual number of children killed across the world’s conflict zones since 2019.

All of this makes a recent remark by Israeli MP Meirav Ben-Ari all the more shocking. Watch as, during a heated Knesset session, she callously claims that the children of Gaza had “brought this on themselves.” It was too much for some fellow MPs, who reacted with outrage.
