Sorry, what? Newborn babies can't shoot a gun and can't take care of themselves if their homes are bombed and their parents die. Not to mention that half of Gaza is already under 18 and probably won't be having babies any time soon, given that hospitals are being targeted. What the fuck is wrong with you?
