MS NOW's The Weekend: Primetime March 15, 2026 AYMAN MOHYELDIN: Now, this indifference that you heard there to the suffering of children isn't really exclusive to Iran.

We've seen it in Gaza, where Republicans like Congressman Randy Fine told Palestinian children to, quote, starve away amid reports of an ongoing famine.

And we've seen it closer to home with the Trump administration's cruel treatment of hundreds of detained migrant children.

It's also evident in the indifference towards the Epstein survivors, many of whom were minors, when they were abused by the late sex offender and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Their fight for justice continues to fall on deaf ears in the Republican-controlled White House and Congress.

Republicans like to pretend that they care about the children.

But whether it's Iran, Gaza, ICE or Epstein, for them, children are merely collateral damage.

MOHYELDIN: You survived a tragedy, and we were talking about tragedies that children have suffered around the world and here at home -- certainly school shootings probably on top of that list where we -- all we hear at the end of them are thoughts and prayers.

But what do you make of how Republicans have reacted to this school shooting [sic] and to the suffering of children, whether it's at ICE, Iran, Gaza or school shootings? CAMERON KASKY, HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST: Well, my classmates and I learned the hard way years ago how indifferent American lawmakers can be when children are dying.

But there is a very important distinction to make here, which is that the shooter who killed 17 people at my high school was apprehended by law enforcement and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Over 105 children have been murdered by Israeli forces in Lebanon in just the past 10 days alone.

And while people marched in the streets for my classmates, who is speaking for these children in Lebanon? Who -- where is their voice? Where is the outrage about those deaths? In this country, a certain type of child dying is a tragedy, but, elsewhere in the world, if it's brown Muslim children, it means nothing -- it's negligible -- people just kind of shrug it off.

Look, I survived the Parkland shooting -- I was there.

I was also in Palestine, and I can promise you something: The feeling my classmates and I had of uncertainty of maybe the next person we see is going to be the person who's going to shoot us dead, that is all the children in Palestine know.

That is all they've known for their entire lives.

And in America, the Parkland shooter is looked at as a villain, but, in the state of Israel, the people who are killing these innocents are brave, heroic warriors.

And frankly, I think that that is disgusting.

ANTONIA HYLTON: Cameron, can I ask you for you personally and then also just for young people of your generation, what has it done to you to grow up experiencing these things -- to see these images -- to understand war, I think, in a way that's different from previous generations? KASKY: Well, violence is one of the only things that America is capable of manufacturing anymore.

And that is something my classmates and I saw our entire lives.

We were born right after Columbine -- Sandy Hook shooting happened when we were fairly young.

The Aurora shooting....
