To mark International Children’s Day, Palestinian children were taught that Israel deliberately targets and murders them, Palestinian Media Watch reported on Tuesday.

In the Nov. 21 episode of the children’s program “The Best Home,” which airs on official P.A. television, host Walaa al-Battat said: “Unfortunately—and this is a very painful thing that I want to tell you about—a number of friends have lost their right to live because the occupation is deliberately killing the Palestinian children, and this is a very painful thing.”

The same claim was made during an official P.A. TV news broadcast the day before by a reporter stating that Israel murders Palestinian children in “random summary executions,” according to PMW.

“There is no security for their [Palestinian children’s] lives that are threatened by danger at every moment. Every one of them—on the road or at home—is a candidate to be the next martyr,” said the reporter.

Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said: “After years in which sites were neglected or looted, Israel is making historical corrections.”
Using this phrase against Israel is no less absurd than labeling sport-hooliganism and violence at mass demonstrations in the West as officially sponsored, government-sanctioned violence.
“Nearly eight years after the shooting, our gratitude and admiration for the heroic bravery and selfless dedication of the first responders that day endures,” said U.S. Attorney Troy Rivetti.
Yitzhak Ben-Hebron escaped Arab riots as a child and later returned to rebuild the Jewish community in the city.
Army Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers III said that future conflicts will require allied special operations forces to integrate quickly and operate with compatible systems.
“The strength and resilience you and your families demonstrate throughout the recovery and rehabilitation process inspire the entire nation of Israel,” the IDF chief said.
