(Washington, DC) –US military personnel could face legal liability for assisting Israeli forces who commit war crimes in Gaza, Human Rights Watch on 26 August 2025 said.
Direct participation by US forces in military operations in Gaza since October 2023, including by providing intelligence for Israeli strikes and conducting extensive coordination and planning, has made the United States a party to the conflict between Israel and Palestinian armed groups.

Today, the little boy is skeletal.

27 Aug 2024 – The children of Gaza are being starved and killed.
Israel has killed 18,592 Palestinian children in the last two years and there are 39,000 children orphaned in Gaza. This forced starvation is an Israeli policy leading to famine.

Calls for genocide come from high Israeli politicians and generals {see genocidal statement 18 Aug 2025 via Prof Michael de Graff}.
This is not a natural disaster; it is mass murder and intentional starvation of Gazans by Israel.
The suffering is deep and painful. Please do something to stop such preventable suffering and death of little Palestinian children by Israeli military and politicians.
Please President Trump, cut off weapons and diplomatic support and save the Palestinians from ethnic cleansing and genocide, which are being witnessed by the whole world.
NEW YORK, Aug 26 2025 (IPS)** –– President Trump, you are the only leader who can stop Netanyahu from committing another genocide in Gaza. The whole world is watching. Do not allow yourself to become an accessory to the murder of thousands of innocent Palestinian women and children and the utter destruction of what’s left of Gaza.

As I am writing this column, the Israeli military is converging on Gaza to destroy what has been left after 22 months of relentless war that killed more than 60,000 Palestinians and leveled to the ground 80 percent of its infrastructure.
