If all of this is about Hamas then why are Israel killing children in the West Bank? Israel

Exactly

Throwing stones [rocks] is very dangerous and the soldiers shouldn't have to tolerate that

Shooting people is very dangerous to be fair.

Everyone else is just fucking horrified at it all. The fact you’d even start this thread tells me very clearly which group you fall into

The latter presumably 🙄

Well I mean some of them were just shot dead in the street but yes in general shooting to kill wasn't the punishment for throwing stones or rioting. Sometimes it was though.

I can't believe you're even asking us this. If you don't want the Israeli army to bomb small children, then that sounds pretty antisemitic to me.

This

Read the article it is nothing about Hamas. These 14 year olds were throwing stones at armed soldiers who were allowing their homes to be destroyed

Hamas may be happy to see Palestinians martyred but if the Israelis government/military are happy to wipe civilians out without a care then it looks like they’re being played for fools.

I realise shooting civilians at will is probably not (well hopefully not) official IDF policy but if they don’t reprimand the perpetrators then they are essentially condoning the crime.

I'm Irish so would in no way want to gloss over that number but I was referring to shooting them dead like the IDF do, when they were throwing things at them such as stones and petrol bombs.

Let's be real, the British army killed plenty of children during the Troubles.

A quick Google suggests they killed 61 children in total which is a good bit better than 3500 in less than a month.

There is never a good enough reason to kill an innocent child

Dumbfounded at the pps trying to justify killing children 😡
The irony is that this is Mumsnet which is primarily -not solely, I know- used by mums!
A child is a child and should be offlimits.
But the IDF have always had a predilection for targeting them. 😡😡😡

Throwing stones? Teenagers in Northern Ireland threw petrol bombs at soldiers and they still managed not to murder any children. No excuse IDF

There's a war on, it's leaking into the West Bank. War is horrendous.

This is bloody awful and totally unacceptable. The IDF response is shit, yet they responded and apologised. Hamas would say yes we did it and it was great, death to all Jews. That’s why hamas is a designated terrorist organisation and the IDF isn’t.

In your self righteous fug, you might have missed the bit where I said “ the settler expansion into the West Bank is outrageous”.

No, it’s definitely Hamas, co-ordinated from the West Bank, sometimes collaborating with other terrorist groups such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade. They’re happy to use Palestinians in the West Bank as martyrs, they don’t care how many die in pursuit of their ideology. 15 years of suicide attacks in Israel, killing 733 people.

or maybe it’s not Hamas. Maybe it’s the illegal occupying violent settlers

Nothing new, they've been killing children in the West Bank for years. The only new thing is that Western media are now reporting it.

So the answer to IDF murdering children is still Hamas even in situations that have absolutely nothing to do with Hamas. Good to know.

That was a difficult article to read OP but nothing surprises me in this conflict anymore. Such beautiful young children murdered in cold blood, what a waste it all is.

Three year old boy killed. Initially IDF tried to blame Palestinians

Then they said "The statement went on to say that the only action that would be taken was reprimanding the soldier who had fired into the air “in violation of orders” and that the army would “continue to learn and improve”."

The only people trying to justify anything is old men wielding whatever power they have or the people unabashedly cheering them on from the sidelines (which ever flag they’re holding) and parroting whatever they’ve heard from the old man’s mouths.

Everyone else is just fucking horrified at it all. The fact you’d even start this thread tells me very clearly which group you fall into.

Why don't they taser them?
