Incorrect.
Muslim Palestinians in Gaza (and the West Bank, to a lesser extent) kill children...
They kill children when they conduct suicide bombings of Israeli population centers...
They kill children when they launch rocket barrages against Israeli population centers...
They kill children - their own - when they...
1. establish their command and operations centers inside of their own civilian population zones, and the IDF hits those
2. establish weapons caches and ammunition depots inside of their own civilian population centers, and the IDF hits those
3. launch rocket barrages from within or in close proximity to their own civilian population centers, and the IDF hits those
4. engage in combat operations while sheltered within schools and mosques and hospitals, and the IDF hits those
5. use their TV and radio programming to encourage their youngsters to become martyrs
6. teach their children to hate Jews and then those children are harmed trying to do violence to Jews
7. conduct demonstrations and riots amidst or in close proximity to civilian population centers, and Israeli police and the IDF suppress such outburts
8. use impressionable young people for suicide missions
...so, although in many cases, an Israeli is behind the trigger, there is another side to the story; one that can be summed-up in the several bullet-points, above.
And, of the 1500-ish Muslim-Palestinian children that have supposedly been killed since 2000...
All we have is a soft-and-fuzzy guess-timate based upon various sources of varying reliability; entirely one-sided accounts and declarations of cause-and-effect.
One-sided story-telling can work as a propaganda tool, but only if left unchallenged.
The second somebody mentions varying cause-and-effect, the eyebrows start to go up, and the desired propaganda effect is greatly diluted - as it should be with one-sided scenarios.
Even if 1500 poor kids have been killed since 2000, how many of those may rightfully be attributed to accidental collateral damage rather than intentionally?
We'll never know, because the one-sided stories we hear do not address why combat operations were occurring in the vicinity of those kids in the first place.
It is a tragedy when a child dies.
It is an even bigger tragedy when a child's death is portrayed as entirely the fault of Side A when Side B is just as much to blame - due to 'embedded war assets'.
Nobody respects a warrior who hides behind the skirts of his women and children.
And then squeals like a whiney little bitch when the requisite military counterstrike occurs.
Don't want your women and children hit?
Stop firing from behind their skirts (stop embedding war assets and ops centers within your civilian population centers).
