Even if we assume that number is accurate.
Dead children dont neccesarily equal a war crime, it depends on context. E.g. if the children are combatants, not a war crime. If it was collateral damage, not a war crime (assuming that it wasnt reckless, there was a porportional military advantage, etc. lots of details here).
To be a war crime requires a bunch of stuff beyond just children dying.
To be clear, its still a tragedy.
> More than in any other recent war
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yemeni_civil_war_(2014%E2%80%9... says more than 85,000 children have died in the yemen civil war, so that's obviously untrue that its more than any other recent war. And that was the first war i checked.

The Yemen civil war is 9 years. So on average 1300 kids a month?
If the Israeli military has killed 8000 kids, that's in two months, so way more than even the dirtiest of other wars, and really the west should be held to higher standards.
I tried to check and multiple NGO's have confirmed that 6000-8000 dead kids is the real number and the death tolls have usually been correct from the palestinian side even if it sounds weird.
Talking about this makes me sick though.

I dont think extrapolating to average rate makes sense in a conflict. By that logic you could say that this conflict has really been going on for 75 years making the average rate really low.
More than in any other recent war. It's a grotesque display of war actual war crimes now excused by a torrent of fake stories that keeps getting debunked later like the one with "40 dead babies! Absolutely vile and inexcusable!
Don't spread misinformation that it's "just Hamas" that's targeted. It's everyone because they wan't to annex the whole region Risk style, it's bloody classic geopolitics backed by the worlds most powerful military.
Let that sink in, the worlds most powerful militaries have murdered over 8000 kids in the span of 2 months. The west is the moral low ground. We'll do anything for power, resources and money like so many wars before, like so many coups, death squads, and dictators propped up by us.
Hardliner Israeli settlers have been stealing private property for decades before oktober 7. while murdering youth on the borders of Palestine while cheering from luxurious well kept gardens.
I feel bad for all jews getting spearheaded in this very geopolitical conflict. Many if not most do no stand with the military regime currently at war with their neighbours.
