At least 20,179 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, according to the UN's latest reports.
Children should be playing, learning & laughing - not part of a casualty list.
They've been forced to grow up in unrelenting violence & suffering during Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Before the route to Argentina was opened for Nazis, the country had seen the arrival of thousands of Jews (and also Germans) fleeing Nazism. Soon after 1941, that path was (unofficially but very really) closed up for Jews. Cartoons like the one here prepared the ground.

Passage from a text discussing Peron's personal involvement in the 'ratlines' that brought Nazis to Latin America. Apparently two routes were used: Franco's Spain and Italy. In the latter case, Catholic clergy were instrumental.
