Maalot Massacre, why kill children ?? ?

Question

The Maalot massacre was a terrorist attack in Maalot, Israel, that occurred on May 15th, 1974. On this date, which corresponds with the 26th anniversary of Israeli independence, Palestinian terrorists broke into the high school in Maalot, a community in northern Israel. The terrorists immediately killed a security guard and some of the children, the remaining children and teachers were held as hostages.

In the morning, the terrorists were identified as members of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) who had infiltrated into Israel from Lebanon. They presented their demands: release Arab terrorists from Israeli prisons, or they would kill the children. The deadline was set at 6:00 p.m. the same day.

The Knesset, the Israeli parliment, met in an emergency session, and by 3:00PM a decision was reached to negotiate, but the terrorists refused a request for more time.

At 5:45 p.m., a unit of the elite Golani brigade stormed the building. All of the terrorists were killed in the assault, but not before they used firearms and explosives to kill 21 children that afternoon. All told, 26 people were killed and 66 wounded (not including the terrorists), including several people murdered by the terrorists on their way to the school the night before.

Answer 1

They call themselves "freedom fighters".

But these "palestinians" always have and always kill target Jewish babies and civilians.

Look at the town of Sderot and others- rockets from Arabs kill and wound Jewish children in daycare centers and schools.

Answer 2

To provoke fear and uncontrolled hate.  As it did lasting into the 21st century.  Where you just brought it.

Post like this is just as much a reward for terrorist effectiveness as a recrimination of brutality.

All that stuff back then isn't going to help today.

Let's us fight over today.

Answer 3

I read about this.  Apparently it was a false flag operation by mossad.
