At this point they would probably grow up to do so though.

I think you got downvoted because people assumed you meant “kill them early”. I take it as Israel is making it so these children will grow up with a fanatical hatred.

And the only way to break this cycle of hate is with compassion and mercy.

The best way to stop this cycle is to glass Israel at this point.

I'm not saying kill them. That's horrible. The whole thing is horrible. It's still important to empathize even with your enemies doing horrible things to understand what's driving them, what's motivating them.

What I'm saying is Israel is motivated to kill them all early. Compassion and mercy unfortunately are NOT the only way to break a cycle.
