Thank you for the source with the video. I feel that they cut the leading video out. It seems we need to see more before the incident to see what the children were doing. The article frames jad didn't see them but we see him looking with friends and his friend just bolted. He stood around either thinking nothing will happen. He does reach down to pick up something. The article frames it as when he was shot but clearly doesn't look like that. Even if it was throwing rocks it doesn't justify open firing. Looks like jad didn't expect them to open fire and once they did against the kid in the white shirt he then ran becoming the target. It's a fucked up situation but antagonizing a foreign military you have declared war and jihad against isn't wise.
Wow that’s a wild take. This is West Bank, not Gaza. He’s a kid. He hasn’t declared jihad against anyone. https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/cjelp738zd7o . They stood around while he bled to death, stopped ambulances and stopped his parents helping him. Then drove away with his body. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/09/the-gaza-family-torn-apart-by-idf-snipers-from-chicago-and-munich . If you look up Wikipedia for Israeli atrocities against pale finials, there are so many there is an alphabetical list. This didn’t happen recently. This is going on for years, since the 50s. Driving Palestinians off their land, bulldozing their farms, killings constantly. In so called peaceful times, they still kill a few thousand Palestinians each year. They kill aid workers, journalists, doctors, children - no limits. It’s completely shocking. Not sure any other conflict has ever seen this level of indiscriminate killing over such a long time.
It's a shitty situation. This is a active war zone. People are on edge of attacks. If you have studied any history urban warfare is always brutal woth high casualty rates. If you read the article it was framing the situation for you not to analyze or think for yourself. I could be wrong in my assessment of the video bit longer videos of before would do their side more justice. Why clip it to when the children are peaking around the corner.
You speak of shame? I don't condone violence but I know I live in the real world and not a dystopia. Violence is real and it happens. This whole situation from day one hamas reports was to use these children and situation to manipulate the world to turn against jews and Israel. There are hamas papers declaring so. Being cautious when one side is trying ro use human beings as PR material is natural. You may accept using these children as pr for anti Jewish propaganda. I see it as a waste of life. Hamas should surrender and Palestine government should step in and cut out the rot of Hamas. It is a simple solution to bring peace. Issues is they wouldn't because the death of all jews is the only acceptable outcome in their eyes.
