The article about this kid says he was murdered at 14, and that his 17 year old brother was also murdered in his role as a policeman in a confrontation with Israeli troops. I just can't even.

I recall a (senator?) who was also saying that Palestinian kids who throw stones at tanks should be shot because they'll move on to doing worse if they believe they can even get away with this.

It's not just that Israel is evil, but this evil mentality is poisoning people back home as well; people who don't think like this are being made to see this kind of vicious brutality as being rational. I still recall a 'heckler' (I don't know if heckler is the right word here, but I think that's the word the video uploader used) at a stand up by a Palestinian comedian (Obeid I think his name was?) who while pretending to be neutral was criticizing Palestinians as having too many children.

Like, 1) Israelis kill Palestinian children; it sounds cold to say but having multiple children is one of the few ways you can guarantee you'll have any children who see adulthood over there, and 2) sentiments like this are genuinely genocidal; why should it bother you that another group of people are having so many kids? This sentiment reeks of hating that Gazans continue to exist and rather than just dwindle into non-existence, are increasing in number and continuing to exist as a nation of people.
