In September, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities reported that at least 21,000 Palestinian children had been disabled in Gaza since October 2023. Earlier this month, the Ministry of Health announced that over 6,000 amputation cases had been registered, with children comprising 25% of the total, making Gaza home to the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world.

    This has really started turning me into more of a conspiracy theorist. I’m a centre left Labour voter and Kier Starmer’s absolute refusal to engage with any criticism of Israel when children are being amputated… It’s very eye opening on who really pulls the strings of power in the west. The European Parliament has just blocked even debating the ongoing breaking of the ceasefire.

    Money talks.
