One of them, 15 year old Adam Ayyad, was killed throwing Molotov cocktails.
It might be thought that he was just like a stone thrower, play-acting at being a hero, and Israel shot him for no legitimate reason. But Arab media sites have been showing that not only was Ayyad an active fighter - but he planned to die that day.
He had a note in his pocket, written in his handwriting, with a message he intended to be seen after his death.
“I am very happy that our Lord fulfilled one of my dreams, martyrdom..and I tell you that martyrdom is not just a martyrdom death, but pride in yourself and pride in the whole world.”
He continued: “Martyrdom is a real victory. Your life is over, but it's over and you're happy."
He ended the note with, “Do not forget me, I do not want to say goodbye to you, we have a meeting in paradise.”
This was "suicide by Zionist."
Ayyad had been brainwashed to want to die a martyr's death. This is the child abuse that every single Palestinian child is exposed to - they are taught this in schools, indoctrinated with music videos, inundated with martyr posters glorifying death.
Where is the world outrage over a generation of Palestinian kids who are told by adults that they should want to die?
Perhaps there is none left over after it was expended over a man taking a walk on a hilltop.
In fact, these kids are dying because the world doesn't want to criticize this cult of death. Whether it is because of baseless fears of being accused of Islamophobia, or because they want to shore up the false narrative of Israel as evil and Palestinians as oppressed victims, the world's refusal to get involved is what allows Palestinian leaders to think it is OK to raise children this way.
