npub1yq6fen8cm3m7lusjm2ulyjz30kd5ymz3mv0cq5mc0c0957lml9psvn3w8k (npub1yq6…3w8k) If a child dies, that's bad. If Russian soldiers were to shoot this child, we'd think that that's horrible. Western framing would be that this child was simply protecting their home and had no affiliation with any military and I'd agree. I find it horrible that children need to take arms, or that there are situations in which they're forced to.
However, if a Palestinian child had a rifle or gun, they'd immediately be deemed a child soldier with no further explanation or research, and their deaths would be justified.
The case for “muslim warlords” (a phrase that has only been used in the context of a specific Chinese family) is nowhere to be found, at least not in this conflict.
A child dying is wrong and bad, no matter what side. Glorifying or justifying that fact, as well as the involvement of children at all, is wrong.
