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

Children are being killed in the west bank. Why?

Are they collateral damage from Hamas (that doesn't exist in the west bank) too? It sounds like they are trying to get a reaction from the Palestinians in the West Bank.

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

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.

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.

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.

This

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.

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.

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 🙄

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

Shooting people is very dangerous to be fair.

Exactly
