Juan Cole: Israeli Snipers and other Forces have killed 16 Palestinian children since start of 2019

writes that Middle East Monitor says Israeli Snipers and other Forces have killed 16 Palestinian children since start of 2019.

Israeli occupation forces have killed 16 Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank and besieged Gaza Strip since the start of 2019, Defence for Children International-Palestine (DCIP) said yesterday.

In a report, the rights group said 12 children were killed in Gaza and four in the occupied West Bank.

It accused the Israeli occupation forces of “using excessive force and explosive live ammunition against children aiming to kill or permanently maim them.”

Emphasis Mine

Thus, the Middle East Monitor will be accused of being antisemitic for reporting this. The Israeli supporters will probably say that Israelis are defending themselves. Any nation that justifies killing children does not deserve to exist.
