Here’s a CNN interview from almost 5 months ago (Nov. 6th) with a Doctors Without Borders US Nurse “who gives a harrowing description of what she witnessed in Gaza as she was attempting to get out of the area.” In that news piece the UN Secretary General is quoted as saying that Gaza is becoming “a graveyard for children”, which proved prophetic. Medical professionals have been talking about the horrific violence affecting children and other civilians since just a few weeks into the war.
None of this is new information. Israel broke the rules of war regarding collective punishment and avoiding civilian casualties immediately. In the first month they dropped hundreds of 2000lb bombs capable of killing people over 1,000 feet away. The USA dropped a 2000lb only ONCE during their years of fighting ISIS. The world’s leaders have known how terrible this was for half a year now. They’ve simply chosen to look the other way or in many cases fully support it.
