UNICEF:
- 400 000 (FYRAHUNDRATUSEN) BARN I GAZA HAR FÅTT PSYKISKA MEN
*** - 429 (FYRAHUNDRATJUGONIO) BARN I GAZA HAR DÖDATS
*** - 2 744 (TVÅTUSENSJUHUNDRAFYRTIOFYRA) BARN I GAZA HAR SKADATS FYSISKT
Runt 400 000 barn visar symptom på ångest, vilket kan yttra sig som sängvätning, mardrömmar eller att de klänger sig fast vid sina föräldrar.
Dessa barn, som har traumatiska upplevelser bakom sig, är i stort behov av psykosocialt stöd. UNICEF-stödda katastrofteam har under konflikten inlett detta arbete, och har hittills nått ut till 1 870 barn på Gazaremsan.
Hälften av Gazas befolkning på 1,8 miljoner människor, är barn under 18 år.

Mainstreammedia räddar barnen i Gaza...

Someone recently asked me, "If my neighbor next door shoots my neighbor across the street, does that give my neighbor across the street the right to come shoot me?"If someone's corrupt government does something horrible, are all of its citizens, right down to the infants, to be held responsible? Votes seem to matter very little in the modern world. How would you feel if another country invaded and tried to kill you and everyone you know — all because of what your horrible government does?
You aren't in charge of those rockets. You aren't in charge of those decisions.
Back when Occupy protesters rallied, they chanted, "The whole world is watching. The whole world is watching."
When Palestinians rally, they chant "Where is the world?"
This question is seemingly rhetorical.
- The mainstream media knows the answer.

--U.S. Only Country of 47 to Vote against Investigating Possible Human Rights Violations during Israeli Occupation of Gaza--
SvaraRaderaAll Gov - Monday, July 28, 2014
The United States has once again demonstrated its steadfast loyalty to Israel, this time casting the lone “no” vote on a United Nations resolution authorizing an investigation into alleged human rights abuses in Gaza.
American support for Israel has been tested during the recent military invasion of the Palestinian territory, which has seen hundreds of civilians—including many children—killed in the fighting.
But the Obama administration stuck by the Israeli government when Palestine called for a UN probe of reported violations of international humanitarian and human rights laws in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. The resolution passed the UN
Human Rights Council with 29 nations in favor and 17 abstentions. The only country to oppose the plan was the U.S.
In addition to condemning the “widespread, systematic and gross violations of international human rights and fundamental freedoms” caused by Israeli military operations, the measure “condemned all violence against civilians wherever it occurred, including the killing of two Israeli civilians as a result of rocket fire.”
The resolution further calls for an immediate ceasefire, for Israel to immediately reopen the Gaza Strip, and for nations to provide humanitarian aide to the Palestinian people.
More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and thousands injured since the invasion began on July 7, along with 45 Israelis, according to news reports.
“In Gaza, 443 or 74 per cent of the killed are civilians,” Kyung-Wha Kang, assistant secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and UN deputy emergency relief coordinator, said in a statement. “One third of civilians killed so far are children.
One child has been killed each hour in Gaza over the past two days.”

--Israel Gives Jews a Bad Name--
SvaraRaderaBy Danny Schechter - Global Research, August 08, 2014
When I was growing up in a Jewish community in New York in the late fifties, there was a predictable collective response to news events that expressed itself in one question:
“Is it good for the Jews?”
Many persecuted minorities made up largely of immigrants operate in an inward looking culture characterized by a fear of persecution, and a desire to keep a low profile for fear of stirring up anti-semitism or just “trouble.”
Jews who have been victimized throughout history tend to look at the world though the prism of that victimization, even when their own community is being viewed by others as victimizers.
Their fears are easily manipulated with appeals to a collective memory.
Back in my youth, every time some big crook’s picture was splashed in the tabloids, I was reassured by being told, at least he isn’t Jewish.’ Although later, I learned about Jewish gangsters like Meyer Lansky who practically ran the Mafia. If you want proof, rent one of those Godfather movies. [...]
