    I’m not excusing it but you’re way oversimplifying it. How could you blame a kid for demonizing all Israelis with all that he’s seen?

    This is the most depressing part in some ways. Hamas indoctrinates the kids and teaches them to hate all Jewish people and that all are to blame. How do you deprogram them from that, especially when they see so many people dying in airstrikes?

    Here’s an example of it that seems credible from a decade ago.

    The members of Hamas who killed and butchered and kidnapped innocent people grew up being taught to gleefully shoot their enemy and that their enemy was everyone.

    I can’t think of a feasible solution, and I problem solve for a living. It really upsets me that there’s just no real path to peace.

      You think a kids cartoon was what caused them to hate Israel, and not witnessing the IDF killing their friends and family as they grew up?

      You have to be taking the piss.
