NFL star Azeez Al-Shaair has been fined nearly $12,000 (£8,933) for wearing the name of murdered Palestinian girl, Hind Rajab, on his ‘eye black’.

Then, the Houston Texans linebacker did it again.

During last weekend’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Al-Shaair wore the name of Wafaa Akila. Israel murdered eight-year-old Wafaa in Gaza on 7 September, alongside her father, in a drone strike on their vehicle as he drove her to her first day of school.

In January 2024, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) murdered Hind, age five, and her family members in a hail of more than 350 bullets fired from a tank just a few metres away.

They then murdered paramedics Israel had authorised to attend the scene and spent years trying to deny and cover up the murder.

In August 2026, the colony’s authorities finally admitted its troops killed her and set up a sham investigation.

Israel has murdered — at least — tens of thousands of Palestinian children in Gaza, many of them targeted deliberately. Expert estimates put that figure far higher, around half a million. It continues to slaughter children daily, despite a supposed ‘ceasefire’.

The child-murder cult permeates Israeli society. Israel’s politicians have advocated murdering Palestinian children since well before 7 October 2023.

Footage is circulating of Israeli model Sarai Givati justifying the slaughter of children in case they grow up to be ‘terrorists’, but she is anything but an exception.
