The Palestine-Global and the USA-Palestine Mental Health Networks are launching an urgent campaign to end U.S.-funding and support for Israeli atrocities against Palestinian children We ask that you sign our petition demanding that the US holds Israel accountable to the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which prioritizes the inherent right to life and ensures the best interests of all children.

Save the Children International, in its October 2024 report, has observed that one year of Israeli bombardment has shattered childhoods in Gaza. The occupied Palestinian territory, specifically Gaza, is the deadliest place on earth to be a child.  Every day, children face violence, fear, loss, displacement, hunger and devastation. 

Israel is killing Palestinian children with US-funded bombs and bullets at an unprecedented rate. They are dying because of forced hunger and disease. They have lost homes, loved ones, and the safety to which they have a right.  Those who survive live a life that no child should have to. The longer the war continues, the harder it’ll be to piece their lives back together.  

In the West Bank and East Jerusalem, Palestinian children face escalating violence and displacement due to Israeli attacks and brutal Israeli settler violence. Since October 2023,  Israel has killed three times as many Palestinian children compared to the year before. A Palestinian child is being killed by Israel every two days on average.

Sign our petition and demand protection for Palestinian children.

Please circulate it far and wide.
