If you're going to make that claim, perhaps cite to a source isn't run by former Israeli intelligence that creates a lot of propaganda and has been doing so for decades.
I don't trust MEMRI translations, but there is no translation needed to understand what is happening in the above footage. I'm interested in any sources that dispute the authenticity of the above, which your link does not. If you provide a credible one I will edit my post accordingly. It seems to me that this is very real.
That's fair. Without getting too in the weeds on the issue, apparently the video is authentic and it's something Israelis do as well, so isn't really telling about either side of the conflict except to note that extremists will use children to push their views anywhere.
I wasn't aware of that, thanks for the link. It would be interesting to know how prevalent indoctrination/militarization of youth is in each of these nations. It can be hard to accurately judge magnitude in this conflict, it is so heavily propagandized.
There is absolutely no amount of data that could convince you otherwise. You’ve made it very clear you’ve made up your mind.
Maybe try presenting some rather than complaining about what you imagine I'd do, random internet stranger.
Oh is that why I followed up by saying the video is probably authentic?
