A day after Hamas attacked Israel, the BBC spoke to a British university professor and “expert” about what was going on. “Knowledgeable women” realized the horror of what was happening. But everything was “explained” by Israel’s policy towards the Palestinians, which brought suffering and anger. As for what needed to be done, the phraseology was the same: both demanded to bring the parties to the negotiating table. Negotiations between Israel and Hamas!

The example is surprising, because two “experts” spoke, and the presenter was the BBC. Otherwise, the mouths that justified the attack were countless throughout the world. It should be noted this large-scale surprise, with the participation of Harvard University. The Palestinian Solidarity student group at the famous citadel of the play released a statement saying: “We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime fully responsible for all the violence that is occurring.” A stunned reaction followed, the statement disappeared from the Internet, some students disavowed what they had signed. But here it was possible (here).

The culture of fury. Children are just tools

A week after the events, not only the scale of the massacre, but also its horror is well known. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my career, never in 40 years of service, and never imagined anything like this,” said the major general, who arrived at Kibbutz Kfar Az (here) on Oct. 12. Here is the title of the cited article: “Children are ‘killed’ in an Israeli kibbutz.” The attack by Hamas was directed against the civilian population, men, women, and the elderly were killed. But children also died: babies, schoolchildren and teenagers – many teenagers.

Nothing surpasses the quota of unhappiness than cruelty to children. Attacks on Israeli children have become a tradition. Only “spike” before 2002:

• May 22, 1970 – Palestinian terrorists stopped a school bus en route to Moshav Aviv near the Lebanese border and killed eight children and four adults;
• On May 15, 1974, Palestinian terrorists entered Netiv Meir Elementary School in Maalot and took 105 children hostage. When the army intervened, they threw grenades and used automatic weapons on the hostages, killing 22 children;
• On November 21, 2000, a roadside bomb waiting for a school bus killed a teacher and dismembered children on the bus;
• In 2002, terrorists threw a bomb into the cafeteria of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and killed teenagers.

  Child abuse occurs all over the world. These are unpredictable actions of some scoundrels. In the case of Hamas (ISIS, etc.) fighters, personal brutality is the result of a cultures of fury. Hamas soldiers are not only cruel to the children of Israel’s enemies. But also regarding Palestinian children. Hamas and Palestinian Authority militants regularly use them as human shields. They raise them to be terrorists. The main resource of the last Intifada was children, teenagers and young people. Two political and military organizations promote among children the cult of martyrs responsible for “wasting an entire generation”.[1] I quote Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Silberdik: “Palestinian children were taught to glorify martyrs (martyrs) during the Palestinian Authority’s 5-year campaign of terror (second intifada, 2000-2005). The Palestinian Authority announced at the time that children would learn the “Game of Martyrs,” where they would debate who would play the best role and die as a “martyr”; “A seven-year-old girl says to her friends: ‘Let’s play the Shahid (martyr) game!’ The kids … discuss who will play Shahid. Faiz, 6, says: “Yesterday you were Shahid, today is my turn! I am younger than you. I’ll be the one to die! “”. (Official PA Journal, Al-Hayat Al-Jadid, December 26, 2001.)

  These are amazing facts. You cannot negotiate with people who do such things. The only way out is to defeat them.

  The killing and deportation of Ukrainian children, the militarization of Russian children makes Putin one of the worst criminals in history

  In September 2023, the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office established that the Russian army had killed more than 500 children in Ukraine since the beginning of the invasion. During the same period, thousands of Ukrainian children were deported to the territory of Russia. In a document published under the auspices of the UN in August 2023, the number of children deported to Russia is estimated at 19,546 (here). One can imagine the terrible suffering the poor people suffered when they were separated from their parents.[2] Other millions of Ukrainian children who were traumatized by this irrational war can be called collateral victims. But at least 20,000 children were subjected to conditions bordering on torture.

  As in the case of the Palestinian rulers, the brutality of Putin and his mercenaries manifests itself not only on Ukrainians, but also on Russian children. They are subjected to a militarization designed to distort their being for life. In schools across Russia, kindergarten children are forced to wear uniforms and march. Seniors are taught to dig trenches, throw grenades and shoot live rounds. In some localities, seven- to eight-year-old children take part in exercises in using automatic weapons, assembling a machine gun and passing an obstacle course. Service in the armed forces is glorified. Putin’s United Russia party launched a program in Vladivostok where schoolchildren sew pants and caps for soldiers. Teenagers create volunteer companies. Today, there are about 10,000 “military-patriotic” clubs in Russian schools and colleges, in which about a quarter of a million teenagers are involved.

  History textbooks reinforce this whimsical tendency. In August 2023, Vladimir Putin signed the law on the introduction of the “Basics of Internal Security and Defense” discipline. The practical part involves trips to military units. There, high school students will be taught to shoot live cartridges. – Read the entire article and comment on Contributors.ro
