ABC News Australia have published a report entitled Israeli authorities killed seven Palestinian children last year. Their parents are calling for justice. The title says it all - it is a one-sided report that places the blame for the children's deaths squarely on Israel.
But it was actually even worse. ABC News shared the report on Facebook earlier yesterday, before deleting it after complaints from readers. The post reveals the original title of the report.
Shameful.
B'tselem has a list of the palestinian children killed by the IDF in 2020:

Ali was the seventh Palestinian child killed by Israeli forces in 2020, according to Israeli human rights group B'Tselem.you can see they have only listed six child fatalities.
But more than that, note the parts in bold. Even according to B'tselem (who do not waste any opportunity to blame Israel), these children were either involved directly in the commission of violent acts or in close proximity to those doing so. Funny how the ABC News report makes no mention of this.
Also of note: the children not mentioned on the B'tselem list. Like 4-year-old Rafif Mohammed Karin - who the haters claimed was killed by an IDF sniper - and 17-year-old Amer Snobar - who the haters claim was bludgeoned to death by IDF soldiers.
