(3,676 posts)Before anyone tells me that children are children (as are Palestinian children), it's an important fact to know for anyone interested in pursuing the truth of what happened.
I see lots of folks here an elsewhere saying this was an intentional attack on civilians. Can someone explain to me why Hezbollah would intentionally target Druze children whose parents have obviously resisted Israel's offer of citizenship? Remember that these Druze are remnants of a once-thriving Druze community of well over a hundred thousand people prior to Israel's occupation, when they were forced to flee their homeland and made into refugees just like Palestinians. It would seem odd then for animosity towards these Druze by Hezbollah or Hamas, but perhaps someone knows better?
Until someone can provide that answer or some reasonable explanation for why Hezbollah would carry out a deliberate attack on these Syrian Druze children, I am going with the theory that it was a tragic accident or misfire.
The EU has called for a tri-partite investigation. I hope it is allowed to proceed.
