    The Gaza-based Community Training Center for Crisis Management, supported by War Child Alliance, surveyed more than 500 Palestinian children in Gaza last June and found that 96% of them fear imminent death, 92% are not accepting of reality, 79% suffer from nightmares, 77% avoid discussing traumatic events, 73% display signs of aggression, 49% wish to die because of the war, and many more “show signs of withdrawal and severe anxiety, alongside a pervasive sense of hopelessness.”

    Children aren’t stupid. And any who survive will have a long road toward healing, both physical and mental.

    And this is how “terrorists” (freedom fighters) are made.

    Tell me more, establishment power structures, how celebrating the vigilante killing of a mass murderer in a suit is demonstrating the deep moral rot in our society.
