The Al Tafawk Centre in Jenin was established in 2010 as a sanctuary providing food, education and recreation, to children aged 3–16It is the only kindergarten in the area. The centre has faced repeated raids, including destruction of its interior in 2021 and 2023, from the Israeli military

Why did Israel raid and wreck a children’s centre in Jenin? and

Palestinian children in the West Bank are also under attack

In 2025 the Al Tafawk Centre was destroyed along with Jenin Refugee Camp.  It has re-established itself in Jenin City and is now under constant attack from the IDF. Armed soldiers frequently enter the Centre and assault staff.

The One Year old Child Tortured with Cigarettes


We are holding this meeting in order to build political pressure on our complicit government  of war criminals who enable the Israeli state to murder and abuse Palestine’s children. We have a Labour Government that won't even impose sanctions on Israel for killing thousands of children yet it is happy to impose sanctions on Russia and Iran.

Even Israel cannot claim that its right to self-defence includes attacking young children.

On April 10 Defend Children International – Palestine also closed its doors. In 2021 Israel’s Defence Minister, Benny Gantz, a member of the anti-Netanyahu ‘change’ government, designated DCI-P a ‘terrorist’ organisation. The ‘Change’ government was no change for Palestinians.

Lisa Nandy, who believe it or not was Chair of Labour Friends of Palestine has turned out to be a virulent opportunist and racist. She attacked the BBC for briefly putting on the film Gaza:  How  To Survive a Warzone, narrated by children in Gaza because one of their fathers had been a Deputy Minister in Gaza's government.  The allegation of being a Hamas member was unsubstantiated but if so, so what?  Compared to the Israeli government Hamas are like virginal choirboys.


Speakers at the webinar which is chaired by Ghada Karmi, an author & Palestinian academic and refugee from the Nakba in 1948 include

Khaled Quzmar from DCI-Palestine;

Karen, a former Volunteer at the Al Tafawk Centre;

Samer Jaber, a former Child Prisoner of Israel,

Tony Greenstein of The Brighton Trust and

Naomi Wayne, trustee of the British Shalom-Salaam Trust

We have invited Zarah Sultana and Layla Moran MPs but we have heard nothing from either of them yet.

The Zionist Attitude to Palestinian Children Mirrors that of the Nazis to Jewish Children

Israel has historically been obsessed with demographic statistics. How many Jews and Arabs were born in the night. This is natural in a Jewish ethno-nationalist state. Israel isn’t culturally or spiritually or even religiously Jewish – it is racially Jewish.

It is inevitable that that turns into hatred of the other, i.e. the Palestinians. They are not Jewish, not ‘one of us’ they are therefore the enemy. This is as true of ‘liberal’ and ‘left’ Zionists as it is of the right-wing kind.

The same was true of South Africa which fretted about the lack of White immigrants. Christian nationalist states in Eastern Europe were the most enthusiastic participants in the holocaust because Jews rendered their states racially ‘impure’

The children of Jews in Germany and Europe were also seen as a threat to the Volksgemeinschaft, the racially pure community. The same applies in Israel today although, like in Germany, it is often disguised in ‘anti-terrorist’ rhetoric.

Himmler, the head of the SS explained this when he told senior SS Generals at Posnan on October 6 1943:

For I did not consider myself justified in exterminating the men... and then allowing their children to grow up to wreak vengeance on our children and grandchildren. The difficult decision had to be taken to make these people disappear from the face of the earth. For the organization that had to carry out this duty it was the most difficult that we have ever had to undertake.’

In July 2014 Ayelet Shaked of the Jewish Home party, who later became Israel’s Justice Minister in the ‘change’ government, posted a text on Facebook, written by Israeli writer, Uri Elitzur, which referred to Palestinian children as "little snakes." Not only must ‘terrorists die but so must

the mothers of the martyrs, who send them to hell with flowers and kisses. They must follow in the footsteps of their sons, there is nothing more just than that. They must go, and so must the physical house in which they raised the snake. Otherwise, more little snakes will grow there....

Ayelet Shaked's Original Facebook Post

In Israel it is the Rabbis who act as the legitimisers for the genocide and murder of children. There are a whole nest of these genocidal vipers who call themselves rabbis.

Rabbi Eliyahu Mali of Bnei Moshe Yeshiva in Jaffa openly advocated  the murder of Palestinian children. Like Himmler he saw Palestinian children as the future generation of fighters.

Today's terrorists are the children of the prior [military] operation that left them alive. The women are essentially the ones who are producing the terrorists,... It's not only the 14 or 16-year-old boy, the 20 or 30-year-old man who takes up a weapon against you but also the future generation. There's really no difference

Mali calledduring a conference on 8 March, for the Israeli army to kill ‘all residents of Gaza’. When asked whether this included babies he said:

“Those who create the terrorists” should also be killed, in reference to women in Gaza. Elderly people are also legitimate targets, according to Mali.

"There is no such thing called innocent creature. By the way, the elderly man is capable of carrying a rifle and shooting. Therefore, the Torah is very clear in the ruling."

Naturally the Israeli Police recommended that no charges be brought against Mali but if he had been an Israeli Palestinian they would have been arrested, beaten up and charged. 

This is the ideology that produces soldiers who set dogs on children and who snipe children in the head for fun in Gaza. This is the state that Starmer, Lammy, Badenoch et al justify, in addition to our own Chief Genocidal Rabbi Mirvis.

As Susan Abuhalwa explained in her speech to the Oxford Union, which that latter body censored,

“… and in the 1980s and ’90s, Israeli soldiers had left booby-trapped toys in southern Lebanon that exploded when excited children picked them up.”

This is a matter of public record, cited in the UK Parliament and multiple reports and periodicals at the time. It speaks volumes that the Oxford Union, which has historically platformed far-right speakers and racists in the name of ‘freedom of speech’ has nonetheless censored pro-Palestinian speech in the name of ‘anti-Semitism’ no doubt.
