    There is no question that many children were brutally killed by Hamas, and you arguing that it is despicable that some have repeated unconfirmed claim that some children were killed by beheading, which happens by the way in Middle East. The travesty! The children where purposefully gunned down, not beheaded!

      It makes a difference. Both sides have killed a lot of children but for some reason people get a lot more upset about children being beheaded than they do about children being bombed, shot, or starved.

        That’s the difference between terrorism vs murder. Public and violent carnage on a small scale can cause terror if highly visible, and if the objective is to make it visible by the attacker.

        It’s horrific. But also, if people are being killed indiscriminately, it would be weird if most victims weren’t either women or children.

        Most people aren’t adult men.

          Especially in Gaza, where the median age is 18 years.

        Please also list casualties that Nazi Germany had during WW2. That of course would make allies monsters.
