Let’s Raise Our Voice Against the Oppression of the Israeli Government!

Brothers and sisters,

Today, the world is witnessing a painful reality that turning a blind eye to it is equal to siding with oppression. For decades, the innocent people of Palestine have lived under the brutal occupation, oppression, and massacres of the Israeli government. Children, women, the elderly, and innocent civilians are suffering daily, yet much of the world remains silent.

We — you and I — as voices for truth and humanity, must break this silence. Let us inform every human being around the world just how cruel the Israeli government is, how many injustices it has committed, and continues to commit to this day. This is not just a political issue — it is a moral, human, and spiritual responsibility to stand against oppression and stand with the oppressed.

Listen to the cries of Palestinian children, mothers, and fathers. This is not just a Muslim or Arab cause — it is a cause of humanity!

Raise your voice. Share the truth. Stand against oppression!

The Atrocities of the Israeli Government in Palestine

A Humanitarian Catastrophe: Women and Children Under the Shadow of War

The people of Palestine have long endured the harsh reality of occupation, injustice, and oppression. In this prolonged conflict, the most vulnerable are women and children — the defenseless population whose lives have been turned into a constant state of fear due to war, blockades, bombings, and siege.

1. Children Under the Shadow of War

In Gaza and the West Bank, Palestinian children face daily threats from the Israeli military. Airstrikes, bombings, home raids, and even the simple act of going to school can endanger their lives.

• Bombings and Killings: According to reports from the United Nations and other international organizations, thousands of Palestinian children have been killed or injured in Israeli attacks.

• Psychological Trauma: Due to the ongoing conflict, many children suffer from psychological disorders, depression, insomnia, and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).

• Barriers to Education: Schools have been bombed or closed due to fear of military assaults. This disruption in education greatly limits their future.

2. Violence and Deprivation Faced by Women

Palestinian women endure double the hardship under Israeli occupation. Not only do they suffer from war and bombings, but they also bear the responsibilities of caring for their families, providing food, protecting their children, and keeping life going.

• Women Killed in Bombings: During airstrikes, women and girls are often among the casualties.

• Physical and Psychological Harm: Ongoing war stress, the loss of family members, displacement, and the lack of basic necessities have placed women in extremely harsh conditions.

• Lack of Access to Healthcare: Due to destroyed hospitals, blockades, and a shortage of medicine, women face life-threatening risks during childbirth and lack access to basic medical care.

3. International Reaction and the Demand for Justice

While many international organizations have documented Israeli violations, the global response has often remained limited. Though the United Nations and various human rights organizations have issued resolutions against Israel, actual enforcement or consequences have been minimal.

4. A Call for Justice and Peace

The people of Palestine — especially women and children — are calling for peace, freedom, and dignity. This war must come to an end, and Israeli crimes must be held accountable. International justice, human rights, and the conscience of the world must awaken.

🚨 Attacks on Hospitals and the Killing of Children

1. Kamal Adwan Hospital, Beit Lahia

In northern Gaza, the only functioning hospital — Kamal Adwan — was bombed by Israeli forces, resulting in the death of children and injuries to medical staff. The hospital’s director, Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, stated: “Instead of receiving aid, we’re met with tanks… attacking the hospital.”

2. Al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza City

An Israeli airstrike on one of the buildings of Al-Shifa Hospital killed a child and injured five others, including a woman. The building was sheltering patients, medical staff, and displaced civilians.

3. European Hospital, Khan Younis

On May 13, 2025, Israeli air forces dropped at least 50 bombs on the grounds and surrounding areas of the European Hospital, killing 28 people and injuring dozens more. This hospital is one of Gaza’s main medical centers, housing patients, medical personnel, and displaced families.

4. Al-Wafa Hospital, Gaza City

On December 29, 2024, an Israeli airstrike on the upper floors of Al-Wafa Hospital killed at least seven people and wounded several others. The Israeli military claimed the building was a Hamas command center, a claim Palestinian officials have denied.

🧒 A Direct Threat to Children’s Lives

These attacks on hospitals pose a direct threat to the lives of children. Children who should be receiving treatment in the safe environment of hospitals are now exposed to bombings, gunfire, and severe psychological stress. According to United Nations reports, thousands of children have been killed in Gaza since the beginning of the conflict, with tens of thousands more injured.

🌍 International Reaction

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Tom Fletcher, described the Israeli government’s actions as “deliberate choices” that have deprived Palestinians of essential needs. He emphasized that these attacks must be condemned by the international community.

✊ Conclusion

Attacks on hospitals and medical centers in Palestine, where children are being killed, constitute crimes against humanity. These actions not only violate international law but also test the moral conscience of humankind. The international community must denounce these atrocities and take urgent steps to protect the lives of children, patients, and vulnerable people.

🕯️ *The Funeral of Childhood: The Israeli Government and the Genocide of Palestinian Children*

Around the world, childhood symbolizes joy, play, education, and peace. But in Palestine, all these values have been destroyed. Here, childhood grows under bombs, bullets, and fear — because children’s lives are crushed under the brutality of the Israeli army.

🟥 *Children Killed Under Israeli Bombs*

Israeli airstrikes and shelling on Gaza and other Palestinian areas continue relentlessly. These attacks deliberately target civilian places such as:

- Homes

- Schools

- Hospitals

- Refugee camps

Children are the primary victims of these bombings. They are not fighters, they don’t carry weapons, and they aren’t part of politics — they are just children. But for the Israeli military, that makes no difference.

📊 *Statistics That Shake Conscience*

According to the UN and other international organizations:

- Thousands of Palestinian children were killed in just 2023–2024.

- In Gaza, more than half of the casualties were children.

- Hundreds of children were orphaned or pulled the bodies of their parents from under rubble.

This is not just a tragedy — it is a deliberate genocide, aimed at wiping out a people’s future.

🎓 *A Childhood Buried Instead of Educated*

While children around the world go to school, tell stories, and dream of the future, Palestinian children:

- Cannot attend school due to the threat of mines and bullets

- Fall asleep to the sound of airstrikes

- See planes, fire, and destruction through their windows

How can a child grow with a piece of bomb between their books?

🧠 *Psychological Wounds More Dangerous Than Blood*

Even the children who survive grow up surrounded by trauma — bombings, bullets, death of family, and displacement. These children:

- Cannot sleep peacefully

- Panic from loud noises

- Draw pictures of tanks, corpses, and explosions

This is not childhood. It’s psychological torture that destroys generations.

🌍 *The World Is Silent, Humanity Is Dead?*

While the world celebrates Children’s Rights Day, Palestinian children are bombed. Global statements are often just empty words, with no real action. This silence is a shame on human conscience — a complicity in oppression.

✊ *Our Responsibility*

We must write, speak, and share these truths. These children are part of our world. This is not just a Palestinian issue — it is a human issue. As long as we stay silent, the sound of bombs will dominate. But if we speak, the voice of truth will shatter the walls of oppression.

✅ *Conclusion:*

Palestinian children are among the most helpless, yet the most oppressed people in the world. Their targeted killing by the Israeli government is not just war — it’s a crime against children. This crime must be recognized, condemned, and stopped. Our silence is their death — our voice is their life.
