Yesterday a six month old baby died at the Gaza border with Israel due to inhaling tear gas fired by Israeli troops; at least that is the story that Hamas is putting out and the media is running. There's no way of knowing if this news story is true, but let's assume it is. It gives rise to a simple question: what sort of parents take a six month old baby to a riot?
Think about it. For the last six weeks, there have been a series of "protests" at the border between Gaza and Israel. At each one of those protests, groups have massed near the border fence and then tried to destroy that fence and attack the Israelis. In each case, the Israeli soldiers on the other side of the border fence have fired tear gas and used other means to disperse the crowds. The Israelis have also used live fire to stop the people who approach the fence, try to pull it down, or who use weapons to attack the Israelis on the other side. That is not a secret. That means that the parents of this baby took the kid to a site where there was going to be a riot, tear gas, shooting and total chaos. Then after bringing their child to this incredibly dangerous site, the parents act surprised that their child was injured and died.
What sort of parents do that?
