Please recommend where we can send funds that we raise specifically for children...

The official number of lives lost is tracking at 46000+ but once they start removing the rubble then the number can increase exponentially. This is beyond horrifying.

The unimaginable scope of this genocide will continue come into horrendous focus, with absolutely no change in the US policy.

Heart breaking and horrifying! It's likely that these children will grow up deeply traumatized and filled with hatred toward those who destroyed their families.

How do we send funds specifically for Palestinian orphans?

It was never a war, it was and still is a military operation,

A Genocide, resulting in a Holocaust.

Committed by Israel.

"Even before the current Israeli war, there were a staggering number of orphans in Gaza – 33,000 children – as a result of five previous wars since 2008.” From a Palestine spokesman in this report. US/Israel know this land grab has been going on in Palestine since 1948 and before. Politicians/media from Australia, UK, Canada, Europe etc have been taking propaganda trips to Israel for decades. Obviously blindfolded each time!! People like John Pilger the notable exceptions. Can a UN peacekeeping force representing all countries (a strong majority) that have voted for and to protect a Palestine state be sent to Gaza to protect that State? Israel is an aggressive military occupation force, it has no legal right to be there, or in the West Bank. Land and resources are the aim.

"We cannot allow a generation of children to become collateral damage to the world’s unchecked wars.” True!!! Abolish the duopoly to The Hague.

Agreed, however, we are too late. (Maybe not for the Hague part though.)

If Trump is indeed the "Peace President", he should have signed an executive order to immediately halt all arms sales to Israel.

I feel ill just reading this, there is no end to the deep dark depths of depravity the Israeli Zionists engage in

I feel for these Orphans in Gaza. How can someone be so insensitive and cruel and hateful. May God help the orphans to heal and prosper to become strong and loving individuals.

This is Trump's deal, or at least he believes it is. If the deal makes him happy, he'll want to see it continue. If he gets more good feelings from those supporting the ceasefire, than those who are unhappy with it, we can pretty much count on which side a narcissist will favor.

We need to encourage an on-going campaign to send praise, along with "thank yous" to Trump, on Inauguration Day and every day thereafter. Let him feel the love. He may decide he likes it. Encourage the idea of him deserving a Nobel Peace Prize, because he will have earned it, unlike Obama. We have turned out millions to protest this war. Can we turn out to save this ceasefire and the people of Gaza? It's a question with an unknown answer as of now.

Flattery has never had a higher calling. We owe it to Gaza, to humanity, and even possibly to Trump, to give it our best try.

The Hind Rajab Foundation has, among other things, filed a case with the ICC against 1,000 Israeli soldiers for war crimes in Gaza.

They have taken further steps in recent days, and vacations are becoming a lot more difficult for IDF soldiers, worldwide. The Foundation can use our help. Please join me in making a contribution. https://buy.stripe.com/cN228hbY5g7jaM84gg

Murder will out, they say, but at what cost? And these murders have been out since they began and still continue, and are transported to the West Bank. I just read a horrific account of a century-old lynching in the American south of a husband and wife and her unborn baby. Multiply this by tens of thousands and that's what we've witnessed in Gaza. The continuing brutalization of a global civilization headed nowhere. This is what passes for "political solutions" today.
