I was meant to talk about Palestinian kids at the UN. Israel forced me out
Belgium caved into Israeli pressure to disinvite me from the Security Council. In doing so, they helped undermine human rights work for Palestinian children.

Permanent victims of war: Who remembers Gaza’s children?
The Israeli public’s indifference to the effects of war on Palestinian children does not result in passivity — it is an integral component of the violence Gaza’s population faces. Ali al-Awour (pictured above on the left) was a 10-year-old boy from Gaza who loved to play soccer. On June 11, 2014, Ali was riding on…

UN details violence against Palestinian kids, leaves Israel off ‘blacklist’
The number of Palestinian children killed in 2014 was the third-highest of all situations the UN monitored — after Afghanistan and Iraq. Israel and Hamas are left off a list of rights-violating states and groups, allegedly as a result of political pressure. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon took a last-minute decision to leave Israel off the UN’s…

Anticipating sirens and contractions: Bringing a baby into this reality
Nothing about life here is ‘normal.’ How could it be? And neither will my birthing experience – and maybe that’s for the best, so that things have a chance to actually change. Thursday was my “due date.” I began my 40th week of pregnancy yesterday and am due to go into labor any day now.…

Details of Palestinian deaths jeopardize a system of denial
The news says, ‘the IDF doesn’t kill children in vain.’ And everyone here nods with a serious ‘moral gaze.’ By Nir Baram While mourning the horrific murder of the three Israeli boys by despicable murderers, yet again we hear the familiar calls of, “in times like these there is no Left and Right. We are…

‘If you hear the bombs, you’re still alive’
This Father’s Day, as the Israeli military is once again operating throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Samer Badawi reflects on loss, fatherhood and the last major Israeli assault on Gaza.

WATCH: Gaza children prohibited from visiting imprisoned fathers
This past month, for the first time since 2007, Palestinian children under the age of eight granted permission to visit their parents in Israeli prisons. The decision to allow family visits to Palestinians in Israeli prisons was made last summer, following a six-week hunger strike by some 2,000 prisoners. Palestinian kids from Gaza above the age of…

Young Israeli boy, non-citizen mother arrested ahead of deportation
We wrote in January [Hebrew] about Supreme Court Justice Yoram Denzinger permitting the deportation of an Israeli boy and his Polish mother. Yesterday at 5 a.m., the mother and her son were arrested ahead of their deportation. This time again, Justice Denzinger refused to get involved. The boy was born in Israel in 2005 to…

In the West Bank, there is no justice, even for children
Hundreds of Palestinian minors were arrested for weeks and even months by Israel in the last five years. Those children – including 34 of them under the age of 14 – were tried in military courts. Only one was acquitted. A new report by human rights NGO B’tselem shed light on one of the occupation’s…

Seven houses demolished, 50 children thrown out into the rain
This picture, taken an hour ago in Lod by Amnesty Israel, pretty much says it all: The bulldozers are not digging out people from under the rubble – they’re burying people’s lives under it. They’re not clearing the wreckage of the storm – they’re unleashing the storm onto the bare heads of 50 (fifty!!) children…
