‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR AUGUST 28, 2026– UN Reports: Israel Continues to Commit Genocide by ‘Deliberately Targeting’ Palestinian Children

Israel has killed at least 22,000 Palestinian children, maimed and injured another 44,000, including hundreds killed or wounded since the so-called ceasefire in Gaza during October 2025. Two UN reports released recently document how Israel kills Palestinian children with impunity, including in the Occupied West Bank. This show includes complete June 23, 2026 press conference by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel, and the August 11 report delivered to the UN Security Council by Hannan Sulieman, deputy executive director of UNICEF.  The show is made possible only by our volunteer energy, our resolve to keep the people’s voices on the air, and by support from our listeners.
