What happens when Empire wages war directly or through proxies? Multitudes of children suddenly have no parents. What happens to those who survive the siege, the bombs, the bullets?
Some are taken hostage and used as props in false flag attacks. Vanessa Beeley reports that, according to Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem,
“the US Coalition-sponsored White Helmets had kidnapped 44 children in order to use them as ‘props’ in the staging of a chemical weapon attack in Idlib. The White Helmets have a history of providing the scenarios required to precipitate FUKUS aggression against Syria.”(1)
Some abductees are used for organ harvesting. Asia News reports,
“after archaeological items and oil, Syria’s extremists are getting rich with organ trafficking. Several cases of missing children in the villages of Idlib province have been reported. The children are moved across the border into Turkey. “(2)
The Director-General of the Syria Coroner’s Office Hossein Noufel confirmed in 2016, that
“the body organs of thousands of Syrian civilians have been sold in the international black markets over the past six years.” (3)
Many are sexually abused. Dr. Ewelina U. Ochab reports in “Sexual Violence As A Weapon Of War: The Story Of Daesh And Boko Haram” that,
“the use of rape and sexual violence is not a military strategy of the past – conversely, rape and sexual violence are widely used today in a number of conflicts, including by Daesh and Boko Haram, terrorist groups that are key parties to conflicts in Syria, Iraq, and Nigeria and West Africa. Daesh and Boko Haram fighters have committed sex and gender-based violence, including sexual slavery, rape, forced marriage, and forced pregnancies.“ (4)
Some are used as human shields. A report by Defense for Children International Palestine notes,
“During an Israeli military incursion into the Al-Tuffah area of Gaza City on December 27, 2023, Israeli forces detained at least eight Palestinian children and used several as human shields … ”(5)
Many are tortured. A report appropriately titled “Welcome to Hell” documents Zionist torture of civilians in a prison system that basically comprises torture camps. The report concludes that
“at the time of writing, more than 9,000 people – Palestinians classified as ‘security prisoners’ – are being held by Israel in a network of torture camps, subjected to the conditions and abuse described in this report. This reality is unacceptable and fills us, Israelis and Palestinians who believe in justice, freedom and human rights, with shame, anxiety and rage.”(6)
So when Gazan journalist Bisan Owda expresses concern over the possible fate of an 8-year-old Palestinian child named Doha, last seen with IDF soldiers, her fears are well-founded. Will she be adopted? Will she later serve in the IDF against Palestinians? Will her body be used for organ harvesting? Will she live? Nobody knows.
All victims of Western perpetrated war and genocide deserve justice.
