In memory of

RACHEL CORRIE, 23, OF OLYMPIA,WASHINGTON, U.S.A., killed by an IDF bulldozer March 16, 2003, as she nonviolently tried to prevent it from demolishing the home of a Palestinian doctor in Rafah refugee camp, Gaza.

“

I really can’t believe that something like this can happen in the world without a bigger outcry about it.... This has to stop. I think it is a good idea for us all to drop

”

everything and devote our lives to making this stop.

— Rachel Corrie, an International Solidarity Movement volunteer, in a February 7, 2003 e-mail message from Rafah to her parents, Craig and Cindy Corrie.

DEFINITION OF TERMS IDF: Israel Defense Forces, the overarching name for Israel’s state military branches, including the army, navy and air force.

SETTLEMENT: A colony for Jews only built in Palestinian lands occupied by Israel since 1967, and declared illegal by United Nations resolutions.

SETTLER: A resident of an Israeli settlement.

REFUGEE CAMP: A United Nations-administered camp for registered Palestinian refugees from the 1947-8 and 1967 wars.

INCURSION: An Israeli military operation into Palestinian-administered areas designated as Area A under the 1993 Oslo accords.

CHILDREN’S NAMES: Sources generally report an Israeli child’s given and family name, while Palestinian children fre-

quently are reported with four names due to the significance of these names in Arab culture.

Because Palestinian names indicate a child’s paternal lineage, four names are reported here, whenever possible, for each Palestinian child: the first is the child’s given name, the second the father’s name, and the third the paternal grandfather’s name. The fourth, when reported, is usually the family name, but in some cases may be the name of the child’s paternal greatgrandfather. These four names not only locate the child historically, and many times physically, but also indicate that the reporting source is a more reliable one.

PLACE NAMES: Unless otherwise specified, cities, towns and settlements are located in the West Bank. Gaza refers to the Gaza Strip.

IN ANY CONFLICT, the death of innocent noncombatants is deplorable, and lamented by all. It is the death of children, however, that troubles us the most, for children are seen to be innocent in a way adults are not.

From September 29, 2000, when the current Palestinian intifada erupted, through March 27, 2007, at least 927 Palestinian and 118 Israeli youths under the age of 18 were killed in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. Thousands more have been injured, many permanently.

Remember These Children lists each of these 1,045 deaths. Arranged chronologically by date of death, each entry includes the child’s name, hometown, how the child was killed and, where available, the nature of the fatal injury. The documentation, though painful, conveys the personal reality of these terrible statistics. The waste of human life— of hope and future promise — is almost too great to contemplate.

Too many of these children died in the course of what should have been normal childhood pleasures—playing soccer, eating pizza, shopping for candy, or going to or from school. Others were at home, looking out their window, eating dinner or playing in their front yard.

Even infants and the unborn have not been spared. In two days in February 2002, three pregnant women were shot: two Palestinian women trying to pass the same Israeli checkpoint to reach the hospital in Nablus, and an Israeli woman in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc. According to a September 2005 report by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), UNRWA and the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 68 pregnant Palestinian women had to give birth at Israeli checkpoints since the beginning of the current intifada, leading to 34 miscarriages and the deaths of four women.

Few of the children on these pages presented a danger to their killers, whether the latter were Israeli soldiers or Palestinian mil-

INTRODUCTION

POTTED FLOWERS and a portrait adorn the desk of Shaima Said Hamad at her school in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. Israeli soldiers in the Rafah refugee camp near the Egyptian border shot the 11-year-old girl in the head and she died of her wounds March 17, 2002. itants. We extend our deepest sympathy to the families of every child who has been killed.

While it is not possible to reclaim these lives lost to their families and to the world, it is all the more imperative to ensure that no more Palestinian and Israeli children meet a similar fate. Nor is it sufficient simply to keep these imperiled children alive. Many are suffering psychological trauma, and, according to Shafik Masalha, a clinical psychologist at Tel Aviv University, some 15 percent of Palestinian children say they want to become ‘martyrs.’ “I believe that the motives are the terrible lives that the children live daily,” Masalha said. “This should be a warning not only to Israeli but also to Palestinian society [about] what they are doing to the next generation.”

We ask you to add your voice to the call for an end to the killing of children, for a just peace in the region, for a fair resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. You might wish to call for an end to Israel’s illegal occupation since 1967 of land acquired by force.

Or you might invoke international law, U.N. resolutions or the Geneva Conventions. At the very least you might wish to support the de-

ployment of international observers in the region. We are confident that, in your own way, you will want to help save these children whom the world appears to have forsaken.

Death comes every day to Gaza—but it is not the death of the old and frail that makes the Palestinian refugee cemeteries such pitiful places. It is the death of young children.

I don’t know if many of the children here have ever existed without tank-shell holes in their walls and the towers of an occupying army surveying them constantly from the near horizons. I think, although I’m not entirely sure, that even the smallest of these children understand that life is not like this everywhere.

PALESTINIAN GIRLS walk home from school in front of an Israeli tank stationed on a street in the West Bank town of Nablus November 9, 2002. The Israeli military reoccupied most of the towns in the autonomous Palestinian West Bank that June, in an effort to curb Palestinian militant attacks.

ISRAELI CHILDREN play on the beach at the seaside resort of Netanya, north of Tel Aviv, July 11, 2002. The city’s white sandy beach is now a world away from the sunbaked West Bank hills of the Palestinian self-rule town of Tulkarm. Before the intifada erupted 21 months earlier, Tulkarm residents not only swam or shopped in Netanya, they worked or did business there, and Israelis went to Tulkarm to buy food like hummus, meet employees or traders, and get their cars repaired.

A YOUNG GIRL retrieves what is left of her belongings after Israeli F-16s bombed her home and others in southern Gaza’s Rafah refugee camp.

“

House demolitions have become the hallmark of the occupation. Indeed, since 1967 Israel has demolished almost 18,000 Palestinian homes, leaving more than 70,000 without shelter and traumatized. The systematic demolition of Palestinian homes is an attack on an entire people, an attempt to make the Palestinians submit to a mini-state or worse, an ‘autonomous’ set of islands—under Israeli control. We need to struggle against the occupation so that both our peoples will eventually enjoy the fruits of a just peace.

It depends on the security of others; it depends on mutual respect and trust.

Things You Can Do… Raise awareness. Help others to learn more about the nature of violence against children in Israel/Palestine — by inviting Palestinian or Israeli children’s rights, humanitarian or peace organizations to speak in your community, encouraging a local theater to show a documentary on the subject, or holding a memorial vigil at which the children’s names are read.

Voice your concerns.

Set aside some time each week to write your elected representatives (see contact information at right), asking your government to provide humanitarian funding to protect children caught in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to apply pressure on both sides to ensure that children are never targets of violence.

Write to Israeli and Palestinian officials in your country, urging that both the government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority act at all times in the best interests of children—especially in protecting them from violence. Write your newspaper and magazine editors, asking them to increase their coverage of the impacts this conflict has on Palestinian and Israeli children.

These letters are more important than you may realize in changing government policies and media approaches to the Middle East.
