Israel: Profile of a Rogue State
Rogue states spurn international law, treaties, conventions, and in Israel's case its own laws and Supreme Court decisions.
Over a million Palestinian children "live and suffer every moment of their lives under the painful reality of occupation."
Growing numbers are killed, injured, maimed, handicapped, arrested, imprisoned, and tortured. Most are impoverished and many hungry.
"What about those who have lost their parents, friends, brothers and sisters due to" continuous Israeli oppression?
"What about the children who live in fear and who suffer distress or cannot sleep, who feel unprotected in the face of a ruthless and arrogant Israeli occupation?"
They're Palestine's children, out of sight and mind to most people everywhere. Who outside Palestine understands their suffering?
Who can imagine the indifference of world leaders, supporting a ruthless, racist occupier, disdainful of human and civil rights?
Who understands enduring daily assaults, police state justice, and fear of being bombed, shot, or otherwise harmed? How do you comfort young children to hold up in the face of what adults can't tolerate?
