We started seeing a series of children, preteens mostly, who’d been shot in the head. They’d go on to slowly die, only to be replaced by new victims who’d also been shot in the head, and who would also go on to slowly die. Their families told us one of two stories: the children were playing inside when they were shot by Israeli forces, or they were playing in the street when they were shot by Israeli forces.

Fighting the urge to throw up because the article brought back vivid memories of things I've seen and experienced isnt, "Oh, you're uncomfortable; agree to disagree!" content. Don't minimize people's lived experience.
Bad take, lots of people have trauma here. What's the point of harming innocent people? Plus all it does is drive people with trauma to the fringes, they will leave places they don't consider safe.
