How to break a child's spirits - Gaza

I always wince whenever the Israeli government justifies its 'Palestinian Holocaust' and other campaigns against civilians by "the trauma caused to the children of Sderot by the constant fear of bombs falling on their heads".

I wince because the real trauma is precisely what the Israelis are causing. How does it feel to be a child who has lost everything, from their toys to their mothers?

Watch this 1 minute excerpt. The little girl from Gaza is candidly talking about the "bomb that entered from the ceiling.. everything was destroyed. We had to throw away everything. Even my clothes, we had to throw them away. They smelled so bad! Tell them to come smell our clothes!"
It's cute, isn't it.
And it's heartbreaking. Talk about robbing childhood, traumatising children? Welcome to Gaza.
