The post title asks you to look at the "biggest bar," which seems to imply that the biggest bars - children - must be targeted. OccamsTeapot population graph is important context because, as war-crimey as indiscriminantly bombing civilian populations is, intentionally targeting children feels so much like comic-book villany that people dismiss it as propaganda.

Your biases, poor reasoning, &/or poor grammar are showing.

"Biggest bar" = "highest proportion of casualties are children" (e.g. the data be like it do); NOT "IDF is targeting children".

Your propagadized interpretation implies specific intent to murder children. The correct interpretation implies indiscriminate murder, as a Palestinian civilians likelihood of being bombed by the IDF is the same as any "Hamas combatant" (e.g. genocide).
