🟥 (WATCH) A few hours ago the onesie on that baby was white. Now it is soaked in blood.

Again, the ONLY reason you won't see this in The NY Times or on CNN is because they are Palestinian Muslims. If they were Europeans or Israelis it would be breaking news and you know it.

🩸 I’ve seen a lot of horror from Gaza. But this image won’t leave my head.

A little child — too young to speak, too small to run — lies wounded on the floor of the hospital.

He’s wearing what used to be a white onesie.
And it’s soaked in deep, dark red.
The kind of blood that means the wound was serious. The pain unbearable. You see him wailing in pain.

He’s still alive.
And I keep asking myself: What did he survive into? Are his parents even alive?


🏚️ These children were victims of a massacre — and they survived

The video was filmed by Brother Nahed Hajjaj, and we thank him for documenting what so many are too afraid to show.

Palestinian journalist Anas Al Sharif, who I consider a hero, confirmed that these children survived a horrific massacre at a home northwest of Gaza City. The house belonged to the Mushtaha family.

They lived through the bombing.
But every child in the video is in shock — blank, wide-eyed, stunned.
They likely suffered traumatic brain injuries.


😡 How is this still happening?

If these were Israeli children, there would be outrage around the world.
Emergency sessions. Headlines. Sanctions. Tributes.

But these are Palestinian children — so the world scrolls past.

No aid gets through.
No ceasefire holds.
No law is enforced.

There are no red lines left. Only red bodies.


📜 What happened here is a war crime

Make no mistake — this is not an accident.
This is not the fog of war.

  • Attacking civilian homes is illegal under the Fourth Geneva Convention

  • Injuring children in indiscriminate strikes violates international humanitarian law

  • Failing to evacuate or medically assist the wounded is a crime under the Rome Statute

But the bombs keep falling.
And the world keeps looking away.


💔 I am not okay after seeing this

I’ve seen burned babies.
I’ve seen families pulling limbs out of rubble.
I’ve seen children holding their own intestines in trembling hands.

But this — this little boy in the white onesie soaked in blood — broke something in me.

Because it was so gentle, so normal, so human — until it wasn’t.

And he lived. But into what?


🛡️ Help us name him. Help us name them all.

This child’s name is not yet known. But his blood is real. His pain is real. His survival is real.

And because of people like you, this platform will carry him.
