Okay, I’m waiting for the outcry. Remember, Israel wouldn’t have to act with this kind of force if Palestinians accepted israel right to exist. Instead, the regularly strap bombs to their kids and send them to “martyr” themselves.
Either don’t shoot children in the neck or do but don’t airlift them to the hospital. I don’t get Israel policy and I never will.
This can’t be spun the right way.
Sorry I have to say this, but, I can hardly feel bad for a Palestinian child who probably indoctrinated since his birth to hate Jews and that it’s a mitzva to die as a martyr by being a human bomb. All these children grow up hating Jews from their cradles so I can’t cry over a hurt or dead Palestinian child.
