This is not just about the strikes, read the fucking article.
minors in the Palestinian territories have endured systematic violence for decades. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), 1,434 Palestinian children have been killed between 2008 and August 31 of this year, with most deaths attributed to Israeli forces. The UN Office for Children and Armed Conflicts (CAAC) documented 1,679 cases of maimed minors between 2019 and 2022. Defense for Children International, citing UNICEF data, reported that 3,000 Palestinian children have been detained, interrogated, tried and imprisoned since 2000. A significant number of these minors (1,598 in the past decade) needed medical attention while under arrest, suggesting possible mistreatment.
There are cases of this even in the West bank. Should I copy the whole article for you?
Is that you, buying into the white supremacist "human shields" propaganda used by other white supremacists to justify the actions of a white supremacist settler-colonialist state?
That's also a cover for the IDF violence. Hamas bombed their own hospital, used children for cover, AND IDF bought the bait and bombs civilians. Kids as bait wins, every time, don't take the bait. People are smarter and better than that. Terrorist takes cover behind a child, they won the argument, hands down. No way we hurt kids. And that's not the philosophy observed
I have three kids and feel wrong saying this - harming and killing kids is acceptable in war.
It is illegal to deliberately target kids/civilians, respond in a non-proportinal way, and not take actions to minimize civilian casualties in the conduct of warfare.
The other option is that any state that uses human shields has impunity to do what the want... which is also a war crime. I can tell you right now, if Hamas is using non-legal sites as bases civilians will die.
