US congressman 'inciting violence' and stirring wide outrage, say experts

China Daily  

A US congressman who said "we should kill 'em all" in response to activists who questioned the use of American taxpayers' money being used to bomb children in Gaza of Palestine, could be classified as inciting violence, experts said. "By using the statement 'we should kill 'em all' – and using 'we' by this official – means that the US is directly engaged in the crimes against civilians in the Gaza Strip," he added. The congressman's remarks prompted the Nashville-based American Muslim Advisory Council to issue a statement which "unequivocally" denounced Ogles, saying his actions were tantamount to advocating for "the extermination of the Palestinian people". Meanwhile, on Feb 19, the United Nations' child agency UNICEF warned a steep rise in malnutrition among children and pregnant and breastfeeding women in the Gaza Strip poses grave threats to their health, as it released a report "Nutrition Vulnerability and Situation Analysis – Gaza". "The Gaza Strip is poised to witness an explosion in preventable child deaths which would compound the already unbearable level of child deaths in Gaza," said UNICEF Deputy Executive Director for Humanitarian Action and Supply Operations, Ted Chaiban.
