When searching for an image for the header to this piece, Rebel Voice typed into Google Free Images, ‘Palestinian boy goes to school with one leg’. No images of the scores of Palestinian children shot recently in Gaza emerged. Instead, one image popped up repeatedly of an Israeli boy who lost one of his legs […]
The scandal of the Magdalene Laundries and the orphanages of Ireland run by the Catholic Church is surely one of the most sickening episodes of history on the Emerald Isle. The Church was all-powerful and the children were its greatest victims. Members of the public may have suspected that there were serious problems, but few […]
As unpleasant as war is for adults, it is much worse for children. The young rely on grown-ups to protect them. They seek reassurance from the older members of their families and wider society. When war hits, children are left feeling even more vulnerable as there is no one to keep them safe. Parents can’t […]
The occurrence of child abuse is without doubt the greatest crime that can be perpetrated by one person against another. Children are the most trusting and vulnerable of our species. When inhumans deliberately harm them, it stands as a terrible act of inhumanity. India is a vast nation with a huge population, many of them […]
This is a great program that has been started in India by those who care about children’s welfare. Martial arts classes are being provided for all the young, including those who might not be able to access them otherwise, due to financial constraints. Training children in this way is beneficial in many ways. It creates […]
The policies of the rogue state of Israel are well known by this time. Apartheid, ethnic cleansing, intimidation, abductions and state-sponsored murder are all tactics warmly embraced by the Zionist regime as it moves to annex all of Palestine. Yet there is one more strategy that Israel uses in it supremacist approach to Middle East […]
The genocide being perpetrated against the Rohingya minority of Myanmar is known but was not as well shared as it should have been. Although the most serious abuse has petered out, there is still the not inconsequential matter of how the Rohingya refugees are being treated. Foremost among these victims of Myanmar oppression and brutality […]
When Rebel Voice reads about children that have died from avoidable causes, a wave of despair washes over this site. In Ireland, children are becoming obese because their (often financially strapped) parents feed them cheap processed crap, and don’t take the time to go outside to enjoy nature and partake in exercise. Additionally, food products […]
Child abduction. Child slave labour. Child exploitation. As you read this it is still going on across the world today. Progress? What’s that? We eat our buns, our burgers, our consciences as children suffer at the hands of merciless, inhuman animals. Apathy is killing them, and us. They work in mines for food. They work […]
The numbers quoted in this article, if accurate, are truly shocking. If even one child dies from drowning, it is one too many. But to speak in the thousands is gut-wrenchingly bad. Conditions for many children, perhaps even most children, around our world are tough and dangerous. They live at the mercy of adults. Adults […]
Of all of the innocent Palestinian victims of Israeli aggression, none tear at the heart so terribly as those who are children. There have been so many. Some are teenagers, some not. Some are toddlers, some babies. All should still be with us. Sometimes there are no words strong enough to describe the monsters who […]
Naftali Bennett is Israeli Minister of Education and Minister of Diaspora Affairs. He is also a Major in the Israeli military reserve, having previously served in the Israeli Forces of Occupation.
