2023 JAN 28 Palestinian 13-year-old Boy attempts to murder Jewish Worshippers as they leave a synagogue Saturday Evening

FATHER & SON, "moderate to serious condition"

Saturday's attack was in Silwan neighbourhood, just outside Jerusalem's Old City.

Two people were wounded in a shooting attack in Jerusalem on Saturday, emergency services say, the day after a gunman killed at least seven people near a synagogue in the city.

The two men injured in the City of David area of Jerusalem on Saturday, one aged 22 and one in his 40s, are father and son, according to police. A 13-year-old who police say shot and wounded the pair was “neutralized and injured” by “two passers-by carrying licensed weapons.”1

OPINIONS:

Amir Tsarfati: (Best Selling Author, Bible Teacher, Middle East News Correspondent and President of Behold Israel) said: “The moment when a, 13-year-old Palestinian terrorists awaits a group of Jewish worshippers at the city of David in Jerusalem and opens fire before being neutralized. This is less than 24 hours after 21 years old massacred 7 Jews in a synagogue in Jerusalem2

Gal Rudich: (Israeli Diplomat. Deputy Chief of Mission at #Israel's Embassy in #Latvia) said: “Today, a 13-yr-old terrorist shot Israeli civilians, A Father & Son, both Severely Injured. With Palestinian public celebrations of the spilling of Jewish blood, these murderous attacks come as a result of incitement by Palestinian terrorist orgs.3

Arsen Ostrovsky: (International Human Rights Lawyer), said: “Harrowing scenes from #Jerusalem terror attack this morning. The 13-yr-old Palestinian terrorist hides behind car, then shoots at kids & worshippers coming out of prayers. But then see incredibly fast thinking security officer, who even while hit, take out the shooter! HERO!4

TERRORIST or FREEDOM FIGHTER


PeaceThruJustice TrojanBlade: (A fellow human desiring peace and justice for all and submission to the One true Creator) Replying to IsraelMFA said:

He is a Freedom Fighter, just like the world will call a 13-yr-old Ukrainian. And @israel’s occupation & genocide is creating more of them. But of course, he is terrorist cuz he is Palestinian. Hypocrites! When u murder families, destroy their homes, imprison them, expect resistance!5


ISRAEL FOREIGN MINISTRY: (Israel government organization) said: “A 13-year-old Palestinian terrorist is a clear result of incitement to hatred and murder by the Palestinian Authority and Hamas. Glorifying martyrdom should be clearly condemned by @UNICEF and #SRSG for Children in Armed Conflict.” And, also, said: “Have you ever asked yourself what a 13-year-old terrorist looks like? Take; a look at this VIDEO from today's terror attack in #Jerusalem. This 13-year-old terrorist is a brainwashed victim of systematic Palestinian incitement for hatred and violence. This is despicable!6  

Shahar Azani (Author, Speaker, Political Aficionado, Lover of Israel, diplomat.) said: Crash course on the #Israeli - #Palestinian conflict:

Left: 13 (!) yr-old #Palestinian terrorist who shot a father & son in #Jerusalem on Saturday.

Right: 14yr old Asher Natan z”l, of blessed memory, murdered at the #Jerusalem synagogue attack on Friday.

Cult of Death Vs. Life7  


Israeli police said the gunman in Saturday's attack was a 13-year-old boy. They said he had been "neutralised", but; did not give further details.8


MY THOUGHTS & OPINION:

I’m of the opinion this is not likely come to an end; when you read this kind of reasoning purported by @TrojanBlade his opinion on this attempted murder of Jewish Worshipers.

The suggestion “The World” would call a 13-yr-old Ukrainian murdering Peaceful Russian Citizens living in Ukraine “A FREEDOM FIGHTER” is pure twisted psychopathic fantasy unless you come from → Afghanistan (in Central Asia) → Central African Republic (CAR). → Colombia (in South America) → Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). → Lebanon (in the Middle East) → Mali. → Myanmar (in Southeast Asia) → Somalia. → South Sudan. → Sudan (in Africa) → Syria. → Yemen (in Western Asia)

CHILD SOLDIERS STILL EXIST.9

Training and weaponizing 13-yr-olds is child abuse of the worst kind:

Sadly, child soldiers still exist. Thousands of children are serving as soldiers in armed conflicts around the world. These boys and girls, some as young as 8 years old, serve in government forces and armed opposition groups. They may fight on the front lines, participate in suicide missions, and act as spies, messengers, or lookouts.

STATE ARMED CHILDREN GROUPS.10

The adoption in 2000 of the Optional Protocol on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict (OPAC) committed states who ratified it to "take all feasible measures" to ensure that no child takes a direct part in hostilities and to cease recruitment below the age of 16. As most states have now opted into OPAC, the global trend has been towards reserving military recruitment to adulthood, known as the Straight-18 standard.

Nonetheless, as of 2018, children aged under 18 were still being recruited and trained for military purposes in 46 countries, which is approximately one quarter of all countries.

Most of these states recruit from age 17, fewer than 20 recruit from age 16, and an unknown, smaller number, recruit younger children.

As of 2022, the United Nations (UN) verified that nine state armed forces were using children in hostilities:

→ Afghanistan (in Central Asia)

→ Central African Republic (CAR).

→ Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

→ Mali.

→ Myanmar (in Southeast Asia)

→ Somalia.

→ South Sudan (in Africa)

→ Syria.

→ Yemen (in Western Asia)

The United Nations (UN) Committee on the Rights of the Child and others have called for an end to the recruitment of children by state armed forces, arguing that military training, the military environment, and a binding contract of service are not compatible with children's rights and jeopardize healthy development.

NON-STATE ARMED CHILDREN GROUPS.11

These include non-state armed paramilitary organisations such as militias, insurgents, terrorist organizations, guerrilla movements, armed liberation movements, and other types of quasi-military organisation.

As of 2022, the UN identified 12 countries where children were widely used by such groups:

→ Afghanistan (in Central Asia)

→ Central African Republic (CAR).

→ Colombia (in South America)

→ Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

→ Lebanon (in the Middle East)

→ Mali.

→ Myanmar (in Southeast Asia)

→ Somalia.

→ South Sudan.

→ Sudan (in Africa)

→ Syria.

→ Yemen (in Western Asia)

Not all armed groups use children and approximately 60 have entered agreements to reduce or end the practice since 1999. For example, by 2017, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in the Philippines had released nearly 2,000 children from its ranks, and in 2016, the FARC-EP guerrilla movement in Colombia agreed to stop recruiting children. Other countries have seen the reverse trend, particularly Afghanistan and Syria, where Islamist militants and groups opposing them have intensified their recruitment, training, and use of children.  

GIRLS ARE EXPECTED TO MAKE UP OVER 40% OF THE CHILD SOLDIER POPULATION.12

In 2017, Child Soldiers International estimated that several tens of thousands of children, possibly more than 100,000, were in state- and non-state military organisations around the world, and in 2018 the organisation reported that children were being used to participate in at least 18 armed conflicts.  

IMPACT ON CHILDREN.13

Child soldiers who survive armed conflict face a markedly elevated risk of debilitating psychiatric illness, poor literacy and numeracy, and behavioural problems. Research in Palestine and Uganda, for example, has found that more than half of former child soldiers showed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and nearly nine in ten in Uganda screened positive for depressed mood. Researchers in Palestine also found that children exposed to high levels of violence in armed conflict were substantially more likely than other children to exhibit aggression and anti-social behaviour. The combined impact of these effects typically includes a high risk of poverty and lasting unemployment in adulthood.
