I mean, maybe. Or maybe they figured he was part of Hamas. Tell me how you would react if, after an organisation sworn to kill you simply because of who you were born had recently killed 1,200 of your fellow citizens, had just launched an attack on you. This is what is so colossally fucked up- in the UK, in most countries around the world if a child behaved that way, you wouldn’t really suspect them of murderous intent. But Hamas recruit and use children, generally from the age of 14 but reports say they have used younger. Which means where you would ordinarily in line with every human instinct protect a child, have to override that instinct because children that young had killed your fellow soldiers. The psychological trauma of having to train soldiers to see children as enemy combatants, when probably most of them aren’t, must be horrific. But if your enemy use children, then how else do you protect your soldiers from them?
Theres a reason child soldiers are still classed enemy combatants. Why on earth are people not frothing at the mouth at the absolutely scummy, low down tactics Hamas use? Because the result is yes, you train your military to kill enemy combatants, which means children. If you were in the same position you would do the same thing. Everyone would, because all armies are trained to kill enemy combatants.
Even worse, there’s a decent chance the boy wasn’t even a Hamas fighter, but how the fuck do you tell the difference? Don’t wear uniforms- now you can’t tell the difference between civilians and soldiers. Use women and children? Now they are people you have to train your military to kill. That’s not because the IDF think “oh great let’s pop some kids” but because child soldiers have resulted in the deaths of IDF infantry. So you train your soldiers to not get killed.
its so far beyond fucked up- the twisted things being done which force the hand of the soldiers who have to fight in those circumstances. There’s no honour, no courage. There’s just terror and sick abuse of civilians. And yet, when Hamas swear that they will not abide a 2-state solution, that Israel must be wiped from the map, when more than a thousand ACTUAL civilians (because the IDF wear uniforms) are murdered kidnapped and raped, and people say they shouldn’t fight back because look at the children and civilians dying.
Doesnt that strike you as so utterly fucked up? Doesn’t that make you think that Hamas MUST have engineered it, because why else would you choose this course of action? How utterly psychopathic you would have to be to design this? I can’t see this being accidental. I can’t see this being anything but very intentional. Get the filthy Jews any way you can, and if you can get them to kill kids see if you can get it on camera, cause that’d be fucking super. It’s revolting.
