Three Children Shot Dead by Tank

Three children are playing an innocent children's game and get blown to hell. Is that right?

In a word: NO!

Fuck it. Stop all these atrocities. Get your fucking acts together and figure out how to end this bloodshed. K?

The US and Israel both employ assassination as a tool in combating terror. The vast majority of those killed under this policy are innocent bystanders. Despite the fact that extrajudicial killings violate the right of all suspects to remain innocent until proven guilty or that the policy has shown to increase terrorism rather than eliminate it, the lives of the innocent always seem to be an acceptable loss to countries supposedly battling terrorism. Earlier this week, three innocent children become the latest in a long line of civilian Palestinian victims.

Three cousins, a 10-year-old boy and 12-year-old boy and girl, were playing tag outside of the Gaza town of Beit Hanun near some rocket launchers. The Israeli army detected movement in the area, then used aerial surveillance to direct tank fire at the children. “They were playing right next to the launchers, including touching them,” the army statement said. “At the very last second, it was apparent that they were children, but it was impossible to stop the explosion.”

And I'm ashamed no other lefty bloggers I read picked up on this shocking discovery. And very few media outlets did too.

Children are dying when playing children's games? This it totally convoluted. I have to check with the Queen of Herarts.
