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.
No I’m sure the rocket hit exactly where it was intended to. I’m just not cynical enough to think murdering 11 children was the goal there. It takes an exceptionally evil individual to be able to do something like that. There’s plenty to criticize Israel for but I think this kind of claim is taking it too far and I think it’s the least likely explanation for this (but not impossible either)
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.
Because what they’re doing right now isn’t unpopular on the global stage?
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.

They could do that in a weekend if they wanted to. They have the recources to do so but they haven’t. Why? Because that’s not what they want.

Well if they weren’t intending to kill the children they really painted themselves into a corner by using a precise munition to do it.
We have absolutely zero evidence that they were doing anything other than killing the kids. Just their word. At this point, why believe them?
Anyway, as always, we will never really know. We can throw it on the pile. With Hind and the thousands of others
