Could you describe that moment when you saw just how many?

Feroz published an op-ed in the New York Times with the results of the survey. A group of the doctors wrote two letters to then-President Biden outlining what they saw. Froese thought that would mean two things. They'd get a call from the White House and there'd be an investigation.

I talked with three people who worked at the U.S. State Department and reviewed allegations like this, including the person who until recently was the Ambassador-at-Large for Global Criminal Justice, a position that used to be called the War Crimes Ambassador. They all agreed the doctor's report sounded credible and significant enough to investigate.

Each of them said the next step should be asking Israel for answers. One who was involved in vetting U.S. weapons transfers told me if this had been another country other than Israel, this is what would have happened. A few years ago, a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee received reports that Mexican Marine units were executing and disappearing people. The U.S.

stopped a shipment of machine guns for more than two years while they investigated the allegations. Eventually, Mexico agreed that American weapons wouldn't go to those units. But that isn't what happened here. The Biden administration never met with Rosenmark. They didn't investigate these claims or make any public statements asking Israel to stop shooting kids in Gaza.

They didn't try to get to the bottom of these allegations. I read these doctors' accounts and had the same question they asked in one of their letters to President Biden. How could this be a series of accidents, such widespread shooting of so many young children over the course of an entire year? But I've also reported on war crimes before.

And I know that cases that seem, to a bystander or even a doctor on the ground, like clear acts of atrocity, they can be explained as a tragic but expected part of war, allowable under the rules of war. The Gaza Strip is a small, densely populated place. It's nearly 50% children. Hamas is hiding inside that population.
