Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

Just one inaccuracy - there were no settlers in Gaza for nearly 20 years.

That's not inaccurate. He said Palestine. That's more than just Gaza, it's the West Bank+ as well. And they have been under absolutely relentless attacks (and murders) by settlers, especially since the 7th. Even though they are divided, they are one people. It's not like those kids in Gaza don't know that.

I was referring to "It’s small wonder that people support Hamas and children join the only force that seems to be fighting for them".

There's little love (and that's a huge understatement) between Hamas and the PLO and children in the west bank rarely join Hamas.

He literally never said anything about settlers in Gaza, which was what you said and are now shuffling around. I'll leave it there though because I think your agenda is quite clear now and he is more than capable of responding if he likes.
