THE PROBLEM WITH WAR – Children Die

 


War must always be avoided, and fighting should only ever be for defence.

Each time I watch a video of a place being bombed, my first fear is this: innocent children are dying. In Gaza, thousands have died or are wounded for life, not just since October 7th, but for decades. At the start of the illegal war the US and Israel imposed on Iran, 66 boys and 54 girls aged 7 to 12 perished. Since then, we can be sure many more have. Innocent children in Iran, Lebanon and Israel. Yes, Israel too.

As far as I am concerned, the children of Israel are innocent. We cannot blame them for the amathia and distorted beliefs of their adults. These children are moulded into what they later become by the Zionist regime. They began innocent. They are shaped, conditioned, and taught to see ideas like Amalek as a God-given right.

We must remember that this is not new. It is a wicked approach used by many. Take Idi Amin in Uganda. Power was sustained not just by force, but by shaping the minds of those who carried it out. He drew in young, vulnerable recruits, cut them off from moral anchors, and made loyalty to him their only compass.

Brutality was not always formally taught as a “right,” but it was clearly rewarded and protected. Over time, this eroded all sense of right and wrong, turning violence into a tool of belonging and survival. When authority removes accountability and reshapes values, ordinary people can be conditioned to commit extraordinary harm.

War is for the uncivilised. Benjamin Netanyahu and his comrades are barbaric savages, especially those who go as far as invoking Amalek, are acting with a dangerous moral blindness. Coupled with a “bodoh sombong” US President Donald Trump, who appears to act from misguided certainty or willful ignorance, we have a potent formula for senseless war, needless destruction, and catastrophic loss of human life.

The problem with war is simple.

Children die.

Peace.
