How would you keep women and children safe during conflicts?
January 13, 2009 - 05:41 PM

Israel has now massacred over 300
Palestinian children in Gaza
According to United Nations reports, the Zionist state of Israel has now slaughtered over 900 Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip since December 27, 2008 when the indiscriminate bombing of Palestinian homes, schools and mosques began. Most shocking is that more than 300 of these are babies, toddlers and young children (1500 injured). This war crime has got to be one of the most horrific in the history of humanity.

To add to the monstrous nature of the onslaught of the Gaza Strip, Israeli armed forces are utilizing white phosphorus bombs which causes human flesh to burn to the bone and often blinds its victims. The Red Crescent Society and Human Rights Watch are reporting that some children have lost their eyesight as the chemical white phosphorus burned through their eye sockets. As U.S. citizens view the mangled bodies of Palestinian children below, be sure that you are indirectly complicit in these murders for your tax dollars are being utilized to supply the brutal Zionists with F-16 jets, Apache helicopters and other lethal weapons. Approximately 5 billion dollars per year in USA military aid is being shipped to Israel. How can we keep women and children ( And innocent men ) out of harms way in conflicts such as these ?

this situation is very pathetic...i dont think there is way to keep innocent people from conflict zones because in any conflict innocent peoples are always the victims and they are always the majority of the population.we cannot talk about evacuation because it wont be possible to evacuate a whole nation and there will be lot of confussion
the solution is only in the hands of the politicians.they never think about innocent people before bombing shame shame shame israel
STOP THE KILLING

One way is to agree to the time and place of hostilities. Like in a battlefield, so that women and children are safe.
But that is not possible in a war. Even if terms are signed that women and children will not be harmed, there will be attacks on them. Its impossible to keep them safe. Because these aren't ancient times when people agreed to fight out their differences away from cities, on fields and grounds.

It's Ironic to note that in this case there was more civility and compassion in ancient times as compared to now. These days our governments love to say "collateral damage" is inevitable and the loss of innocent human life is a part of war. We really need an uninhabited island wher Warmongers can settle their differences without killing the rest of us.

Good point!
I think the best way to try to prevent civilians from being harmed during conflicts are treaties like Geneva Conventions. Althought they are like Human Rights - not mandatory, at least there's something written and signed that determines how the non-combatants should be treated. However when exist violations of these codes (as now in Palestine) it's up to us - the public opinion - to rise and make it clear that we are against it. Maybe if there were big demonstrations, the governments would feel pressured to condemn these actions.

The only problem with international agreements and civil society pressure on the politicians is that they're not going to listen to what people in other countries say.

For example, even with the UN disagreement in the Iraq war, the US troops entered the country and established chaos in there. Big nations are unlikely to listen to common people thoughts. Nevertheless, a good way to stop wars and innocent people killing is rather to establish an international embargo on the responsible nation for the attacks and accept refugees from the conflict areas.

Although it's not the best solution it will help alleviate the pain of those whose relatives often die in the battlefields as a "collateral damage" as the government of Israel would say for instance.

Hi Ana, Hi Diego, I agree with you both and would add one more idea. Because nations like the U.S, and Israel ignore UN resolutions when it is convenient for them. Ultimately it comes down to the people. We need to form a powerful worldwide Youth movement connected together by the internet. A movement that shares information and refuses to fight wars. If everybody joins together like a trade union. The youth of the world could determine its own destiny.

"One way is to agree to the time and place of hostilities. Like in a battlefield,"

That is the old fashioned way -

But lately gurilla warfare and asymetrical war has gained traction because it is seen to give weaker forces an advantage in fighting strong conventional armies.


Ironically it is precisely because of modern media and sensibilities - the geopolitical reaction of civilian deaths - that gurilla warfare has grown as a popular tactic - it is exactly why it behooves militants to hide among the civilian population -

If the stronger army restrains itself from chasing the militants they get a free hand to launch attacks with impunity -

if the stronger army goes after the militants and civilians are killed then there is a public relations coup for the militants cause.


it is a vexing problem - Iran has been pushing this strategy - having written military doctrine for both Hezbullah and Hamas.

Good point you have here. It is exactly because of that that civilians die in the battlefields. It is this point of view though that makes clear - at least for me - who's the weakest part in the Gaza conflict for example.

Israel President Shimon Peres has said in a interview a few weeks ago that Israel children were not harmed because they took good care of their innocents a.k.a. they have money and a proper place to hide, differently from the Palestine people, excluded from human rights and basic life conditions.

Ther is no way to keep children safe in a warzone. The Israeli war machine is using Adolf Hitler's Blitzkriek methodology to terrorise a largely civilian population into submission. If the UN were a real organisation and not a phony American front they would aggressively intervene.
