...They are literally trained in school on how to be terrorists, yes. They are taught in class how to make and use explosives, wield and transport weapons, and explicitly told they should kill Jews. The indoctrination starts in kindergarten. There are recordings of kindergarteners practicing mock military operations and hostage-taking. That is the kind of world that Gaza is. The median age there is about 18 years old, and about 40% of the population is 14 or younger.
It's absolutely awful and completely unfair to judge the kids for this, but this is the explanation of why a soldier can look at a child there and fear for their life or question if the object they are holding is a bomb.
Again, proving the average person on this board has had their head in the sand for the last 30 years when it comes to this region.
