    True, but the 3000 Palestinian children don’t get a whole series of articles for each individual one. They’re just a number, and apparently a meaningless one, given the ferocity of attacks by the Israeli government that has no limit when it comes to “retaliation”.

      Because the number three thousand is probably made up by Hamas. Hamas also doesn’t have a register of the young people they draw into their cause.

      They also don’t first get the names of all the people living in an apartment complex before they start stockpiling guns there and start shooting rockets from there.

      Because they don’t care for their names. They care for the fact that they can control international support by having a high number of civilian deaths.
