“During an eight-day Israeli onslaught on the blockaded Gaza Strip in Mid November Israeli forces killed and injured many Palestinians in the tiny coastal enclave. Children who make up more than fifty five percent of the territory’s population were the hardest hit. Many children were killed or injured during the recent Israeli attacks.”

The previous article I posted was written on June 26, 2012; I am posting this video as a follow-up and proof that these actions against Palestinian children are still continuing as of November 26, 2012. Hopefully the knowledge that the problem is still prevalent will spark action against injustices against the globe’s most innocent individuals, children.
