The last time Mona Awda Talla saw her daughter Shahed alive, she was leaving the house to go buy her some cake, wearing pink pants. Moments later, she was dead.
This is the terrorist organization that snipes small children, mother with their children, and prefers to target family homes. The terrorist organization that creates famine and commits genocide in the name of land theft. The terrorists that fly drones around refugee camps to torture civilians. The terrorists that double tap aid convoys. It is in no way cynical to believe this was intentional targeting of children, in fact it is entirely consistent with their past actions and stated goals of genocide against the Palestinian people.
Or the more obvious explanation, genocide is unpopular on the global stage. A direct campaign of terror like the nakba would get them sanctioned to hell and back, and probably invaded by major non-western powers. That doesn’t diminish their desires and measurable progress.

I’m all for criticizing Israel for what they’ve done in the past and especially what’s going on now but once someone starts suggesting they’re intentionally targeting children because that’s how evil they are, then that’s where I step off the train.
