A line of children's outfits laid along Santa Cruz County beaches. The line of clothes stretched along a three-mile-long line that started at Sea Cliff State Beach and ended at Seascape Park Beach.
The group behind the display consists of various community activists and organizations that support a ceasefire in Gaza. Organizers said the 13,000 outfits represent the number of children that have been killed in the conflict.
According to UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, Philippe Lazzarini, more than 12,300 children have died in Gaza between October 2023 and February 2024.
"We've had a lot of people come by and ask us questions about what we're trying to do here, and when they realize what we're doing, I think, you know, it's been very grounding for some people. It's been very emotional, but for some, it's been also a healing experience as well," said Nadine, a community activist and organizer for the ceasefire display.
Saturday's demonstration caught the attention of many beachgoers, some supporting Palestine and others supporting Israel. However, organizers said the display was not meant to cause conflict but rather to share the message of a ceasefire in Gaza.
Where are the bodies? Where are the graves? The high numbers are BS, totally made up by Hamas. They trot out staged pictures of arabs holding dead kids; and the pictures are proven to be recycled from many years prior. It is all a big lie. What is known is that Hamas kidnapped many Israelis including children, and they still hold them whether alive or dead.
Demand that Hamas release the Israeli hostages! Best way to end the war.
Those “marginalized community” members will be on the beach in a few hours and all the clothes will suddenly disappear.
PROBLEM SOLVED
ONLY 12,300, damn I thought the Israeli Air Force was better than that, they need to improve their accuracy.
Old Curtis LeMay killed a hell of a lot more in Tokyo with plain old gravity napalm bombs.
I recommend that the Israelis USE NAPALM IN MASS QUANTITIES!
Its all about the children ,just not the ones decapitated, burned alive and murdered in front of their parents on October 7th
