67 Years of Murder and Still Going Strong

44 Palestinians have been killed, 1300 injured and 650 imprisoned so far this October. Most of the dead were around 20 years old. Here are the names of those under 18:

Amjad Hatem al-Jundi, 17
Bassem Bassam Sidr, 17
Mo’taz Ahmad ‘Oweisat, 16
Hassan Khalid Manassra, 15
Mohammad Hisham al-Roqab, 15
Khalil Omar Othman, 15
Ahmad Abedullah Sharakka, 13
Marwan Hisham Barbakh, 13
Abdul-Rahma Obeidallah, 11
Rahaf Yihiya Hassan, 2

I wonder if ”why” was among Rahaf’s first words.
