This shouldn’t need to be said, but: Opposing or even boycotting settlements does not translate into support for Hamas. Living in Gaza does not translate into being a Hamas terrorist. This is a reckless generalisation that feeds into anti-Palestinian racist narratives.

These children, aged 8-13, were detained for picking flowers. Despite being released, the older children are due to be interrogated on Sunday. For picking flowers. These children are not a security threat. Treating them as criminals causes trauma, instils fear and stirs hate.
