Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)
It wasn't hyperbole.
You call me pointing out a clear war crime as such 'propaganda' (and you still haven't explained why that is...) yet yourself repeat the 'human shields' line.
You're quite literally the pot here.
It was an unarmed teenager allegedly throwing rocks toward heavily armed IDF vehicles. You can play the 'he's a grown man' game all day and twice on Sunday - but in the end, you're just arguing semantics.
His name was Rayan Ibrahim Hasan Al-Sayed. Reports are that he was anywhere from 14-17 years of age.
To answer the question you asked - not a typical "little boy", sure. But clearly an adolescent. I mean - you jumped pretty quickly to discredit this story without knowing a thing about the kid.
But hold on, System Shock -- let's set this straight - you seem to wish to discredit the source because they used the term 'little boy' for a teenager?
Considering that Israel has time and again without remorse killed children (infants, toddlers, preteens) - and there's ample evidence right in front of your face - do you really want to die on this hill?
You sure?
NYT: 65 Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics - What we saw in Gaza
I've been more than happy to answer the simple question that you asked, as I did above.
It was answered.
Now - we going to delve into the fact that this incident was a clear war crime?
Opinion: I’m an American doctor who went to Gaza. What I saw wasn’t war — it was annihilation

For reference, I search for 6 year old Palestinian boy... that qualifies as a little boy, agree? and here is a picture of a little boy standing right next to 2 grown women.
Are you telling me the person in the background looks smaller to you than the person in the foreground? Are you saying that the person in the background indeed looks like a "little boy" to you?
