The family of 10-year old Rafik Abu-Harake is mourning in the midst of the devastated streets of Gaza. He was killed by Israeli shelling in one of Gaza’s UNRWA schools. Israeli terrorists posturing as artillery soldiers, were instructed to target primary schools and kindergartens specifically to kill as many Palestinian toddlers and children, in an act of revenge typical of biblical barbarity, according to documents retrieved from the bodies of dead Israeli soldiers.
UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. It supports the relief and human development of Palestinian refugees (and their descendants) scattered across the region in refugee camps after they were displaced en mass by Jewish terrorism in the 1940s. UNRWA was created in 1949 after the Palestine Destruction War of 1948 and subsequent conflicts. As of 2019, more than 5.6 million Palestinians are registered with UNRWA as refugees. The vast majority of Palestinian children are educated in UNRWA schools which are located in or near refugee camps.
In the secret documents found on dead Israeli soldiers, the latter were instructed to attack UNRWA schools and youth centers in northern Gaza, with the mission to “kill as many as possible” and “capture hostages” in order to trade them for the Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Palestinians of Gaza are themselves refugees from previous pogroms carried out by Israeli settlers against the native indigenous population. They are now again on the road to nowhere because they live in the largest concentration camp on earth today, namely the Gaza Strip. The "most moral army on earth" has ordered them to leave northern Gaza and head south where they will swell the numbers of hundreds of thousands of refugees. There is no exit out of Gaza. The closest image one can compare it is to a large herd of cattle being herded in a corral; in fact, the Israeli Defense Minister politely referred to Palestinians as "human animals" in one of his ethical press conferences.
Since 2008, Israel has waged four wars on the Palestinian territory, killing thousands of people, mostly civilians. During Israel’s latest offensive on Gaza, Israeli attacks damaged at least 51 education facilities, including 46 schools, two kindergartens, an UNRWA (The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) training centre, and parts of the Islamic University of Gaza, according to the United Nations’ latest humanitarian report.
At this time, at least 70,000 people are still sheltering in 64 UN-run schools across the Gaza Strip, and more that 750 children have been killed in the Israeli attacks.
Documents leaked to American media reveal Israel’s extraordinary intelligence about specific school locations. One Israeli army brigade was given a specific target it is supposed to storm from specific angles with information about estimates of the number of children sheltering there. The discovery comes a day after senior Israel officers talked to international media in an apparent attempt to limit outrage at the atrocities currently being perpetrated by Israeli soldiers on Palestinian soil in Gaza.
Ofer Havarti, spokesman for the Israeli occupation army, insisted that his soldiers were “keen to avoid harming civilians” and that the Israeli army is the “most moral army on earth”, even as it is bombing schools, hospitals and other non-military targets, supposedly to combat terrorists. Israel, from its inception, is based on the colonial theft of another people’s land, the destruction of its country, and the displacement and killing of its people, in order to replace it with a new artificial country of foreign European settlers. Israel’s conduct in its barbaric attack on Gaza, with the forced displacement of millions of Palestinians, in collusion with the United States and the European Union, is yet again a monumental violation of basic ethical norms and international laws. In the face of what is going on in Gaza, all international charters on human rights, the rights of children, and justice have lost all their value. Israel has proven that barbarity can replace civilization in this 21st century.
As they contemplate the failure and endemic corruption of their extremist right-wing racist government, Israelis are in damage-control mode, and insisting in their statements that their soldiers will provide as much comfort as they can to those Palestinian children they could not kill or displace.
Meanwhile, the death toll from Israel’s indiscriminate airstrikes has surpassed 2,800 people while over 10,000 have been injured. As Israeli barbarism is also targeting hospitals, interviewed doctors tell of unspeakable horror inflicted by the “most moral army on earth” on unarmed innocent civilians. The barbarity of the self-declared “Light unto Nations” has reached the darkest bottomless level on the scale of human barbarity.
