My son is about the same age as the boy in the thumbnail, being held by his father. They look pretty similar too.
I can’t even imagine the pain and anger that I would feel to see my boy injured, what to speak of being killed, by militant forces. I would be absolutely beside myself with rage. It’s really no wonder this conflict has continued for generations. There are thousands of people on both sides who have become absolutely fixated on revenge.
I’m aware of the difference in motivation. My point is that people on both sides become radicalized by violence and therefore the cycle repeats with every generation.
Please remember that innocent Israeli kids were also murdered, albeit in smaller numbers.
