Kids too young to go to protests are virtually marching for Palestine

Children too young to protest are taking to the popular online game Roblox to show their solidarity with Palestine.

Israel has vowed again to destroy Hamas, rejecting calls from the United Nations chief, the Palestinians and many countries at a high-level UN meeting for a ceasefire, and declaring that the war in Gaza is not only its war but “the war of the free world”.

Foreign minister Eli Cohen also dismissed calls for “proportionality” in the country’s response to Hamas’s surprise attacks on Israel on October 7 which killed 1,400 people and has since led to more than 5,700 Palestinian deaths in the Gaza Strip, according to its Health Ministry.

It has prompted protests across the world, with tens of thousands turning out in UK cities last weekend.

Children too young to join the marches have taken to Roblox, with footage shared on social media.
