Washington Post lists names of 18,500 Palestinian children said killed in Gaza war
2025-07-31
Out of claimed 60,000 dead.
[IsraelTimes] The Washington Post publishes the names and ages of 18,500 Palestinian children who have been killed in Gaza since Hamas’s October 7 onslaught almost 22 months ago.

The Post takes the numbers from Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, which says that it relies on hospital and morgue records, vetted reports from victims’ families and reliable media outlets to document each death. The ministry also presents the ID numbers of every single Palestinian it says has been killed in the war.

Israel argues that the ministry is an arm of Hamas that disseminates propaganda that can’t be trusted, though it has not provided alternative figures for Gaza deaths, beyond rough estimates for how many terror operatives it says it has killed. The current figure, released in January, is 20,000. Hamas says 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in total.

“Some were killed in their beds. Others, while playing. Many were buried before they learned to walk. Gaza is the most dangerous place in the world to be a child, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF),” the Post writes.

The Post lists those up to age 17.

A breakdown of the figures indicates that 915 of the Palestinian children documented were killed before their first birthday. Each age year between 0 and 12 had at least 800 children who were killed. There were roughly 1,000 children killed for each of the ages between 13 and 17.

#10  What I don't get is given the months that it took to prepare for Oct 7, why didn't Mossad detect it and break it up?
They're the best intelligence agency on planet Earth, and they missed fucking PARAGLIDERS?

#9  These are the same people who when up talking a rage of gun violence, they include in the victim sheet suicides, accidents, and self defense incidents.

#8  #6 In 2021, Greene entered Congress with an estimated net worth of $700,000.
By April 2025, her net worth had ballooned to $22 million, driven largely by stock market investments that consistently outperformed even seasoned Lower Manhattan pros.

#7  Many of these 'children' were probably active militants and most of the rest were being used as human shields.

Maybe WaPo's advertisers need to be asked the Big question.

"Given your company advertises in the WaPo, do you support WaPo's Anti-Jewish reporting agenda?"

Would the WaPo also take the time to list the 50+ years of constant attacks, murders, kidnappings, launched from Gaza/Palestine on Israel?

That Gaza/Palestine knowingly allowed these terrorist groups to build-up, launch and hid among around their civilian centers, schools, hospitals and yes even in the cellars of their family homes?

Simply put, just looking at just the Oct 7th attack build-up and the months it would have taken prepare.
Gaza remain quiet.

So as long as Gaza/Palestine civilians are open and willing supporters, that hide Anti-Israel terrorists.
They are no more than Terrorist Support Staff Personnel and are the ones placing their own family members in danger.
