A reminder that Israel has been repeatedly offered the opportunity to end the violence that it started with police brutality a week ago, violence that it escalated, and that it chooses to continue. Behind these doors is what was Palestinian children living in a refugee camp.

Arabic reports I found on this Israeli bombing of a refugee camp say the medics tried to save as many limbs as possible for these children - not as in "make sure they can keep the limbs" but as in "making sure the children are buried as complete as possible".

If Israel hadn't tried to steal Palestinian houses on Palestinian land, these kids would be alive.

If Israel hadn't violently brutalized Palestinian protestors, these kids would be alive.

If Israel hadn't attacked innocent worshippers at a holy mosque, these kids would be alive

If Israel hadn't supported settler violence against the Palestinians, including land burnings and car trashings and gunfire at Palestinians, these kids would be alive.

If Israel had lifted the violent blockade of Al Aqsa when they were warned to, these kids would be alive

If Israel had taken the repeated offers of a cease-fire, these kids would be alive.

If Israel hadn't targeted residential buildings, these kids would be alive.

If Israel hadn't targeted a refugee camp, these kids would be alive.

If the leaders of the world had held the Israeli government and military and settlers accountable, these kids would be alive.

The amount of times Israel chose violence and the world chose silence for these kids to be dead right now is uncountable.
