This overpowering violence amounts to what we may term childcide, which is the deliberate or systematic destruction of children, whether through direct violence, neglect, or the conditions of war and oppression that render them uniquely vulnerable. Of all those complicit, the Biden administration has the most blood on its hands. Even as Biden’s presidency comes to an end and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been declared a war criminal by the International Court of Justice, Biden refuses to end the U.S.’s complicity in Israel’s war crimes. As, Biden has turned “the U.S. military and federal budget over to Netanyahu for his disastrous wars … which have been an unmitigated disaster for the American people, bleeding the U.S.

The face of childcide was on full display for the world to see when news reports and videos circulated revealing a teenage boy, Sha’ban al-Dalou, burning alive in a tent in a refugee camp. The intertwined crises of scholasticide and childcide represent not merely a breakdown in politics and morality but a failure of ideas and critical consciousness. What is needed is an ongoing struggle over ideas — a battle for radical imagination and awareness as the foundation for mass resistance. The staggering inequalities of wealth and power must not only be named and addressed but systematically dismantled.
