Palestinian children: detained, dead, forgotten (2 short articles)

from Middle East Monitor and IMEMC

Between 2000 and 2014, Israel killed a Palestinian child every 3 days on average, for 14 years; in 2018 at least 56 children died, and over 900 were detained. Israel faces no serious obstacles and acts with impunity - with financial backing of the same regime that is allowing children to be separated from their parents and die on the border with Mexico.
