Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

    The people of Gaza tried to protest in a non violent march in 2018. The IDF responded by shooting thousands of civilians including women, children, and journalists.

      non violent march in 2018 “Most of the demonstrators demonstrated peacefully far from the border fence… Nevertheless, groups consisting mainly of young men approached the fence and committed acts of violence directed towards the Israeli side” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018–2019_Gaza_border_protests)

      And they will need to keep approaching Nonviolence. It is the only solution that is viable for a long lasting peace

        Apartheid is maintained through violence. If you want a non-violent solution to the conflict then Israel has to stop violently enforcing its apartheid system. Palestinians have no say in that decision.

        We don’t even need a counterfactual to prove it. Gaza without Hamas would just be the West Bank. People in the West Bank are still suffering under the violence of Israeli occupation and have been for decades.
