Tariq Kenney-Shawa, Al-Shabaka’s U.S. policy fellow, said: “This is among the worst footage I’ve seen. Not only were these boys clearly unarmed and present no threat whatsoever, but they were struck multiple times even after stumbling/crawling away. There is no way they could have been considered combatants. This is unreal.”
Assal Rad, an author with a Ph.D. in Middle East history, said: “Have we ever seen so many war crimes take place right before our eyes? Any country still providing weapons and aid to Israel is complicit in these crimes.”

I guess so, but what I meant is that this isn’t a case of people being misrepresented by their government. The government is following the majority (which is growing, by the way) position of “let’s genocide the Palestinians for Lebensraum”, setting aside why that’s the minority position. This mess won’t end with Netanyahu and his ilk leaving.
