The men implicated aren’t leaders or legends — they’re perpetrators of sexual crimes against girls and young women.
Are we really a nation that lets their crimes against 1,000 victims go unpunished?
We better not be.

<p>The UN agency said that at least 67 children had been killed since 10 October.</p>
<p>“Yesterday morning, a baby girl was reportedly killed in Khan Younis by an air strike, while the day before, seven children were killed in Gaza City and the south,” said Ricardo Pires, spokesperson for the UN children’s fund. </p>
<p>“There's only one party to the conflict in Gaza with the firepower to do air strikes,” Pires also told journalists.</p>
<p>Children's lives continue to remain under threat in Gaza from inadequate healthcare and a lack of food. </p>
