Iranian children and youth theater artists condemned the genocide in Gaza
Iran Theater- The Secretariat of the 28th International Children and Youth Theater Festival and the Children and Youth Theater Association published a statement in support of the children of Gaza, calling for an end to the war and child killing.
It is written in this statement: Resolutions are not decisive; Where only the missile attack on the land of children's life. Contracts are broken; where in the sky of children's lives, missile fly instead of colorful kites. Slogans are useless as the candles of the birthday party are extinguished by the collapse of the roofs of the houses. United Nations are invalid because time stops when children die and tomorrow never comes. The Children's and youth Theater Association is the house of Iranian children's peace messenger to the whole world and demands an end to the false show of philanthropy of the powers. This is the moment for the end of war, the end of extravagance, the end of infanticide.
The conflict began after an October 7 attack on Israeli communities by the armed group Hamas. In response, Israel has incessantly shelled Gaza, targeting hospitals, schools and refugee camps and killing more than 13,000 people, many of them children, in violation of international laws.
Since then, millions of people across the world have marched for a “Free Palestine” and called for a ceasefire. Experts have accused the United States, United Kingdom and European Union of hypocrisy for claiming to be bastions of democracy and human rights .
