If someone truly cares about children, they will care about the children suffering in all wars, not just the children and babies suffering from a war in which there is an agenda to further a demonizing narrative.
Millions of children, a far greater number than the number of children that live in all of Gaza, are suffering greatly from wars and genocides raging across the planet.
Few to no one gives a damn about the millions of children suffering in the wars and genocides in the Congo region, Darfur, other parts of Sudan, Yemen, Myanmar, North Nigeria, along with wars and terror in Ukraine, Mali, Burkina Fasso, Somalia, Mozambique, South Thailand, and in many other places.
Few to no one cares about these children because far too often compassion is about who can be blamed, and about how children can be exploited to further demonizing narratives, instead of being about real concern for the suffering of all children.
The children of Gaza are exploited by Hamas's many supporters to further Hamas's itself, including its murdering, its genocidal goals and beliefs. Hamas started a war when it mass murdered, sexually abused and committed other atrocities against defenseless people in Israel on October 7, 2023.
Hamas abuses children by brainwashing them to hate and to believe their lives must be devoted to murdering Jews. Hamas wages war and terror using children and civilians as their human shields to hide behind and beneath. Hamas built a vast multibillion dollar tunnel network to protect themselves and did not build a single bomb shelter for the children and civilians living above ground in the densely populated enclave.
Any normal, decent human being will not want the children of Gaza or anywhere else to suffer.
But that does not mean going along with false narratives that demonize Israel and glorifies Hamas or narratives that ignores or defends Hamas's murdering, including of babies and children.
War and murder are not the same, no matter how many people try to equate the two in order to legitimize murder. Murder is a grave crime against humanity. War is tragic, one of the worst things human beings do to one another. But war itself is not murder.
The effort to demonize Israel by falsely calling the war that took place in Gaza a genocide is nothing more than a ploy to legitimize the continuation of the murdering that Hamas and its supporters seek.
No one with even half of a heart and conscience would defend the murdering of babies and children on any side of any conflict and war even when accusations about genocide, real or not, are at play. That person would understand full well that casualties of war and murder are not the same and would not conflate the two in order to demonize one side or the other.
The word genocide is exploited by Hamas supporters to justify Hamas murdering. Hamas openly declares its genocidal ambitions and has proven time and time again that when given the opportunity will mass murder, sexually abuse, kidnap and commit other atrocities.
Anyone that truly cares about children will have concern for the lives of all children, including the children of a people they may or may not hate. Their concern would not be selective and based on bigotry or political or religious objectives.
They would never justify, defend or excuse murdering babies and children, not by deflection, denial or anything else, including the murdering Hamas and company did on October 7. When a mother, her baby and her small child were kidnapped by Hamas and later returned to Israel in coffins after having been murdered; there were those that defended even that.
Ask anyone that supports Hamas and also claims to care about children if resistance by any means, which means murdering babies and children is acceptable.
Many will say it is because their hatreds, their bigotries, their political or religious agendas, are more important than standing up against murder itself unequivocably.
The lives of babies and children are only of interest to them if they can be exploited. If there is nothing to be gained to further their biases, political or religious narratives, or their need to virtue signal and/or be part of the in-crowd, they could care less.
Hence, the worldwide silence as millions of children are being killed or are dying throughout the world not only in the many ongoing wars, genocides, terror attacks, but also from excruciating poverty and environmental destruction and poisoning.
