IMPACT OF HOSTILITIES ON CHILDREN IN GAZA
BACKGROUND
Gaza witnessed a large military operation during the period of 14-21 November 2012. This
offensive followed several weeks of intermittent escalations in violence between Palestinian
armed groups and the Israeli military.
The impact of this latest round of violence on the civilian population in both Gaza and
southern Israel raises serious concerns. The uninterrupted waves of airstrikes and rocket
fire have triggered widespread fear among the civilian population in Gaza, particularly
among children. Dozens had to be treated for shock.
As of 5 December, 103 people had been killed in Gaza, including 33 children. A total of
1,399 people were injured, including more than 250 children. A total of 450 houses were
destroyed or severely damaged, and 105 schools and kindergartens were damaged. Of
these, 100 facilities sustained minor damage and 5 sustained heavy damage.
1
This crisis has compounded an already precarious humanitarian situation, the result of the
Israeli military Operation ‘Cast Lead’ since 2008 and the on-going restrictions on movement
of people and goods across borders, which have exposed children to violence in their daily
lives.
........
Children reported the following physical symptoms:
97 per cent reported clinging to their parents;
94 per cent reported sleeping with their parents;
91 per cent reported having increased sleep disturbances;
85 per cent reported an appetite change (increase or decrease);
84 per cent looked stunned or dazed;
77 per cent reported crying more;
76 per cent reported aches and feeling ill; and
47 per cent reported biting their nails.
........
However, a strong association was noted between physical symptoms and witnessing of the six
violent events reported above (shelling or destruction of their own home, destruction of a
neighbour’s home, airstrikes hitting homes or immediate surroundings, dead bodies and injured
people on television, bombs falling near the home, and killing of people by airstrikes). One third
of children (34 per cent) who witnessed all six violent events reported eight physical symptoms
compared to 18 per cent of children who witnessed up to three violent events.
Likewise, 32 per cent of children who witnessed all six violent events reported all seven
emotional symptoms, compared to 18 per cent of children who witnessed up to three violent
events. There were no differences between witnessing violent events and the fear scale,
perhaps indicating that fear was widespread, especially among children.
Fears and insecurity
Participants were asked questions related to changes in fear levels from the start of the
hostilities up to the time of the assessment. Fear of ‘loud sounds always’ ranked highest (80
per cent of children). It was followed by fear of death, with 63 per cent of children reporting
‘fearing death always’ and 19 per cent ‘fearing death usually’. Other signs of insecurity
included 62 per cent of children reporting ‘fear of being alone always’, 59 per cent reporting
‘fear of injury always’ and 57 per cent reporting ‘fear of going out of the house always’.
These questions combined were developed into a scale with good internal consistency
(alpha=0.759) for further analysis. Compared with their feelings of fear prior to the hostilities,
Emotional symptoms
The questionnaire included several questions that could be combined to assess the
emotional status of children. Of those, seven were chosen for grouping and building a scale
called emotional symptoms, with good internal consistency (alpha=0.736). In comparison
with the period prior to the hostilities, the findings showed that 97 per cent of children
reported feeling insecure; 85 per cent reported difficulty in concentrating; 84 per cent
reported feeling dazed or stunned; 82 per cent reported feelings of anger and symptoms of
mental strain; 81 per cent reported an increase in excessive nervousness
; and 38 per cent reported feeling guilty.

What did some of you think when the God of Israel commanded king Saul to utterly destroy the Amalekites in 1Samuel 15 and he did not?
What did you also think of the young man (youth), who was a Amalekite, who upon Saul's own request helped him fall upon his sword until he was dead, yet when David heard of it he had the youth put to death for touching God's anointed in 2 Samuel 1?
Did you consider these kings of Israel to be cruel and did you find the commandments of God to utterly destroy unnecessary and a bit harsh? Do you feel the same about the people of Sodom and Gomorrah (children included) and how they were destroyed?

rachel.
The Jewish State was always intended to be for Jews.
even though the overwhelming majority never came from there to begin with.
they took the place through deceit, terrorism, and murder and ethnic cleansing.
the facts are the facts. Jewish Historians tell the truth! why don't we?
i don't care how anybody packages this thing.
that's why the checkpoints are there.
when you move into a place and there are people there who you don't consider your group, you move them out or force them out, then you set up systems to keep them out and the sickening part is....the Jews created for themselves the world's largest ghetto. walls to keep Jews IN - not arabs OUT....same thing the Rabbis have always done.
it's prison for jews and unnecessary suffering for everyone.
have it your way.
this unspeakable idea that what business do the kids have near checkpoints is unbelievable.
if those people can not get along WITH THEIR NEIGHBOURS without giant walls and barbed wire and checkpoints and sanctions and blockades theres something really really wrong.
what's this paranoia that the goyim have some inherent hatred for jews?
it comes from Rabbinic CONTROL....tell the kids from day one everybody hates them (because they are chosen - a recipe for disaster...if you don't know how this is how it works, please talk to jews who left it all).
its all rubbish.

[h=2]8 Palestinians arrested for near-fatal stoning[/h]March 15, 2013
(JTA) -- Israel arrested eight Palestinians suspected of causing a car accident that left an Israeli infant in critical condition.
The suspects, who were apprehended by Israeli soldiers, Shin Bet security agents and police, are suspected of causing several injuries to Israeli civilians by throwing rocks on Thursday at cars near the West Bank Jewish settlement of Ariel.
One of the cars collided with a truck as it came under a volley of rocks. In the crash, 3-year-old Adelle Biton sustained head injuries, which doctors at Schneider Children's Medical Center in Petach Tikvah termed “extremely serious,” according to Army Radio. Her mother and two of her sisters from the settlement of Yakir received minor injuries and also were hospitalized.
The suspects were arrested in Haris and Kifl Haris near Qalqilya and were transferred to security forces for further questioning, according to the IDF Spokesperson.

May I add this also in 2 Kings 2 concerning God's man Elisha.
19 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth : but the water is naught, and the ground barren . 20 And he said , Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. 21 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said , Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land. 22 So the waters were healed unto this day,according to the saying of Elisha which he spake . 23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up , thou bald head; go up , thou bald head. 24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. 25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.

let me put it this way...i don't have any children...but if i had a child...would i bring them places that necessitated walking them through a checkpoint that i believe to be dangerous?
no...if i have to go to through a dangerous checkpoint to get to work...then i am not bringing my children to work... if i have to go through a dangerous checkpoint to go to the store...then my children are not going to the store with me... if i have to go through a dangerous checkpoint to take my children to school...then my children are staying home from school... if i have to go through a dangerous checkpoint to bring my children to the playground...then no more playground for them...
i would not risk my children just because i am or feel that i am entitled to be somewhere...
maybe there is some parallel universe where it is good parenting when you believe a something to be dangerous so you choose to expose your children to it because you don't approve of its presence...but in civilized society we don't risk our children to protest something we don't like...
and you are right...there is something wrong with the palestinians that they cannot get along with their neighbors... the west bank and gaza strip are not the only places where palestinians have trouble getting along...they seem to have problems wherever are...lebanon and iraq and egypt and jordan...
if you research who the people calling themselves 'palestinians' actually are...you might find out why they have a reputation all across the middle east for being 'trouble'...
the hatred against jews is primarily based on religious disputes going back to the early days of islam...and arab nationalism that goes back to the soviet days...

in democracy your government is understood to represent you...if you elect terrorists to represent you then you should expect to be treated like terrorists...
if you elect representatives who run on a platform of starting trouble with the neighbors...then you shouldn't be surprised when you have trouble with the neighbors...
i don't know why so many people seem to think democracy means freedom from accountability...it is the same logic behind economically failing european countries thinking they are entitled to a 'bailout' just because they foolishly elected a government that stood for profligate spending...
in democracy you get to choose whoever you want to represent you and then -deal with the repercussions of your choice-

UN report says Israel could be prosecuted for war crimes over settlements
UN human rights investigators called on Israel on Thursday to halt settlement expansion and withdraw all half a million Jewish settlers from the occupied West Bank, saying that its practices could be subject to prosecution as possible war crimes.
"Israel must cease settlement activities and provide adequate, prompt and effective remedy to the victims of violations of human rights," Christine Chanet, a French judge who led the inquiry, told a news conference.
The settlements contravened the Fourth Geneva Convention forbidding the transfer of civilian populations into occupied territory and could amount to war crimes that fall under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the United Nations report said.
"To transfer its own population into an occupied territory is prohibited because it is an obstacle to the exercise of the right to self-determination," Chanet said.

Palestinian who died in Israeli jail 'was tortured'
A Palestinian prisoner who died in an Israeli jail was tortured to death, a Palestinian official has claimed, dismissing Israeli accounts of an apparent heart attack.
9:00PM GMT 24 Feb 2013
Arafat Jaradat's autopsy showed torture resulting from fractures in his body and skull while his heart was in good condition, said Issa Qaraqaa, the minister in charge of prisoner affairs, citing a Palestinian doctor who took part in the autopsy.
"These results prove Israel killed him," Mr Qaraqaa told a news conference.
Jaradat died on Saturday in an Israeli jail from what prison authorities initially said appeared to have been a heart attack.
The 30-year-old man from Sair near Hebron in the West Bank was arrested last Monday for alleged involvement in a November 2012 stone-throwing incident which injured an Israeli, according to Israel's Shin Bet domestic intelligence service.

“The People will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their food.” Someone asked, “Will that be because of our small numbers at that time?” He replied, “No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be froth and scum like that carried down by a torrent (of water), and Allah will take the fear of you from the breasts (hearts) of your enemy and cast al-wahn into your hearts.” Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allah, what is al-wahn?” He replied, “Love of the world and dislike of death.” [An authentic hadith recorded by Abu Dawud and Ahmad]
We have been warned it will happen. We have turned away from God during the good times and this is our punishment.
I believe in a judgement day so if those that commit war crimes don't meet justice here they will get far worse in the next life.
