As a father of a soon-to-be-4-year-old, that picture tears me up inside. I can’t fathom losing my son, especially not in this way. That goes for both sides of this fucking terrible thing.
Children. Are. Not. Acceptable. Collateral. Damage.
This is the exact intention of this picture though. Hamas is notorious for staging photos and videos like this. You shouldn’t trust terrorists.
You shouldn’t trust terrorists.
You’re right. No one should trust the IDF. War crime after war crime. They’re the worst plague on the planet since Isis, but actually have the backing of major world powers because they got their guys to weasel into the top of every nation’s government.
Anyone speaking out against their narrative, from the UN to newspapers are being cancelled.
These are Gazans. They’re not trained Hollywood actors dude. Look at the grief on their faces. That’s REAL. If it’s not real in this picture (for whatever reason), it’s real in thousands more. The stats alone show how many people have had to hold their dead children in their arms like this.
It’s disgusting. It’s Genocide. No people who suffered at the hands of Nazis in WWII, should ever perpetrate this kind of hell on someone else. Israel has forgotten everything. Their ancestors would be ashamed.

So they found something that works for them. It’s better than building nothing but rockets.

Oh. I’m sure both celebration of launching missiles and tears of receiving them back are sincere.

Palestinians should have not attacked Israel in the first place. They forget each time this happens that it only brings more tears. Their god is already sad by their attempts that only hurt themselves, and maybe doesn’t even approve.
Would you really like to exchange videos like that? I can drop you stuff with Palestinians being happy firing rockets, staging scenes for false victim reports etc.
In the end, it’s all about doing what’s better for your people or not, being terrorists or not. Hamas are very much below what anyone would call “adequate”. Israel is nothing like that.
Remove all context from that photo. That’s what I see. Whether staged or not, children on both sides are experiencing these things. Once you become a parent, providing you wanted to be one intentionally, you see all children, not just your own, as innocence and any perception of grief for the loss of that child as personally identifiable and deeply felt. We, as a species and society, have lost our humanity if we look at a picture like that, no matter the context, and don’t immediately feel sadness for the known innocence lost.
I say this unironically, but I pity you.
No need to lose humanity. But its better to not allow terrorist play with or use it to their advantage.
Like if there’s any doubt that children are among the victims of Israel im this very momemt. Some people have no shame.
These are victims of hamas and its actions in the first place. Israel’s attacks are not unprovoked. Even though it sucks to know people are dying, context is important to understand better why it happened and how similar stuff could be solved.
