"Gaza | American doctor Mark Perlmutter is not the only foreigner to enter the Gaza Strip during the war, as he was preceded by dozens of Arab medical delegations that worked diligently in a number of hospitals in the north and south of the Strip, and closely observed the crimes committed by the occupation army and the weapons it used against children and women. And civilians. However, the indisputable reality is that the testimonies of American and Western doctors in general have greater impact and credibility in the media. Perhaps Perlmutter's Jewish religion contributed to the popularity of his testimonies, which he left Gaza carrying, despite the fact that incidents such as the sniping of children and their killing by American shells and bombs were broadcast in audio and video dozens of times on television. Perlmutter expresses his shock, because he had never seen dismembered children in his life. And wounded, as he saw in the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to an Israeli war for 291 days. He confirmed, in statements to the American CBS network, that the Israeli army deliberately targeted children, saying: “We have documents proving cases of systematic targeting of children and committing war crimes against them.” In the same context, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Observatory states, in reports published last March, that it documented the execution of 13 children by the occupation army by shooting them directly in the Al-Shifa Medical Complex. According to the Observatory, its field team received statements and testimonies that it described as identical regarding executions and murders against Palestinian children between the ages of 4 and 16 years, some of them while the occupation besieged them and their families inside their homes, in addition to others while they were trying to flee along paths that the Israeli army had previously determined for them.
It is worth noting, in this regard, that the percentage of children among the total victims of the war that has been going on for about ten months has reached one-third, as their number reached 14,405 children out of 40,156 martyrs. In statements proving the credibility of these statistics, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child confirmed that the war in Gaza claimed the lives of children with unprecedented brutality, while the Commissioner-General of UNRWA announced that the number of children killed as a result of the war in Gaza exceeded the number of those killed during The last four years all over the world.
But why so much impact on Perlmutter's testimonies?
The statements of the American Jewish doctor had a remarkable impact, exceeding the echoes of thousands of photos and recorded clips documenting those massacres. Because of this impact that the statements and images have on the Western eye and hand, the enemy army has imposed a media siege on Gaza since the beginning of the war, preventing, since October 7, the entry of any foreign journalists and activists in the field of human rights to cover the war, and even instructed international missions and institutions that were Operating in the sector, they were required to leave immediately, to which all these institutions responded, and evacuated their employees, some of whom could have been the authoritative voice of the West on the ground.
In the end, the enemy army was able to carry out all its crimes in the dark, while none of the forms of genocide, which in any case contributed to forming a public opinion supportive of the Palestinians, were able to influence the course, extent, and violence of this war.Youssef Fares"
