A few of the extreme elements of the Knesset have actually supported targeting and killing children , perhaps to counter any chance of a near future generation seeking revenge . https://youtu.be/JBkNDNj05XA?si=EqXg3Jf2Gc5CZzLA https://www.timesofisrael.com/far-right-coaliton-mk-calls-israeli-killer-...
