    “Children” had to be included, else it wouldn’t be a good headline right?

      Name one instance in which it’s ever ok for a bomb of any kind to be fired anywhere near children.

      Give one fucking reason why it would make sense to exclude it.

      And no, the blood libel is not relevant when the actual army actually kills so indiscriminately that child deaths are so ridiculously high in absolute and relevant terms.

        I mean, why is this a story in the first place? To me this just sounds like collateral in a very bloody war. Including children in the title is on purpose to make a point and fuel a debate.

          When did very bloody wars stop being newsworthy stories?

          When did children’s safety in war stop being newsworthy?

          And if there is a debate to be fuelled, how is “too many children are dying in this very bloody war” not a point of view that is worth making a point for?

          Are you even human?

            It’s not newsworthy. Everybody knows what’s going on already.

      Or it’s because that’s the majority of the injured?

      Israeli-made weapons designed to spray high levels of shrapnel are causing horrific injuries to civilians in Gaza and disproportionately harming children, foreign surgeons who worked in the territory in recent months have told the Guardian.
