Children rioters during Hong Kong independence movement

Should this article mention children fighters enlisted by the Hong Kong independence movement? ^[1]

In my opinion, no. These are child protesters, who may commit acts of violence but are not in the military or a military organisation. Fugitivedave (talk) 16:52, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Child Soldiers

If you are interested in child soldiers you should read the book called A Child Soldier by Emmanuel Jal. It has some very useful information in it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.38.6.228 (talk) 21:43, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bias, palestine

In the first paragraph on the Palestine section, a quote is used where palestintianian children who threw stones and molotov cocktails at IDF soldiers during the first intifada are misrepresented as child-soliders. the first intifada was not a war, but an uprising in response to decades of IDF military occupation of the palestinian terrories, and the second-class citizenship status of palestinians living in israel. The children were not soldiers, but rather part of the greater population who participated in the uprising (which, had far greater casualities on the palestinian side). The quote is therefore not realiable, and an appropriate human rights organization should instead be used as a source.
