    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Israel has murdered over 10,000 kids in Gaza. Snipers aside. It’s absolutely inexcusable.

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/02/gaza-palestinian-children-killed-idf-israel-war

    “Children account for more than one in three of the more than 32,000 people killed in Israel’s months-long assault on Gaza, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Tens of thousands more young people have suffered severe injuries, including amputations.”

    And, again, not new. Israel has been doing this for DECADES.

    “Israeli and foreign human rights groups have documented a long history of snipers firing on unarmed Palestinians, including children, in Gaza and the West Bank.”

          Doing what for decades? You provided like seven links. I looked at five, the first four of them were entirely bullshit that failed to support your claim. The fifth one proved half your claim and not the controversial half.

          If you start sorting through all the bullshit instead of reposting it, it’s very obvious who wants the violence to continue and who does not.

              Yeah, sometimes. Kids die in a warzones, especially at this unprecedented level where the non-uniformed fighting force of a criminal enterprise masquerading as a government uses entire cities as human shields, those co-lateral deaths are different in kind to trained sharpshooters of a uniformed army wantonly shooting children, directly (and getting away with it). Blame for every kid rests with Gaza’s leadership, who put their own people and families in harms way, even the aid truck. What was October 7 if not an invitation to food aid trucks and their crews to come on out to a warzone, where negligence and war crimes–as well as the how-ever-many years of martial law the Hamas holdouts force upon Gaza during reconstruction and reconstitution–are exactly the sort of foreseeable harm and casualty that make starting or prolonging war so atrocious for humanity in the first place?

              And I don’t give Israel one pass on legit war crime just because atrocity is foreseeable, but like c’mon: 4.5 out of your first 5 pieces of evidence for your claim of Israel sniping kids utterly fell apart under a level of scrutiny mundane to basic media literacy. Doesn’t that give you pause to think maybe some of the other views that Qatari state media keep validating for you might be equally misinformed?
