Is there no reporting of dead Palestinian children by Israeli forces in the Jerusalem Post? I think Israel's citizens have a right to know what happens during their country's military movements.
I personally don't consider Pew Research as a valid source of information. It is frequently an outliar statistically. Pew is driven a lot by US Republican propaganda.

Pew's results iclick here) are inconsistent with previous studies in a country that see its Arab minority as proof of commitment to democratic values and diversity.
JTA - In a survey that spanned politics, religion and interfaith relations, one statistic stood out: nearly half of Israel's Jews support expelling the country's Arabs.
The Pew Research Center’s study of Israelis’ attitudes, which had its findings released Tuesday, had asked respondents whether they agreed that “Arabs should be expelled or transferred from Israel.” Forty-eight percent of Israeli Jews agreed, while 46 percent did not. Among self-described right-wing Jews, 72 percent agreed, along with 71 percent of religious Zionists.
The figure was inconsistent with the findings of previous studies and provoked strong reactions in a country that sees its Arab minority as proof of its commitment to democratic values and respect for diversity. It has also shone a spotlight on what has been seen previously as a fringe proposal. No party in the Israeli Knesset advocates mass population transfer, and it has never been seriously discussed as a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict....

Just because Pew is in the USA doesn't mean it should carry any brevity. Any study that is obviously an outliar has to be identified exactly the way Haaretz has placed this Pew study into context. Related research should be included when evaluating any statistics available, but, there has to be an accounting of the bizarre differences. Applause to Haaretz. Well done.
The very last thing Israel should be doing is expelling Arabs that live and work in Israel. The rights of school children have to be returned, too. Prime Minister Netanyahu should be reining in his extremist members of government.

Palestinian refugees as an example of what not to do (click here) in its current refugee crisis, MK Tzipi Livni said at the Global Baku Forum in Azerbaijan on Friday.
Speaking at the international conference on security matters, Livni (Zionist Union) compared the absorption of Jewish refugees from Arab states to the situation of Palestinian refugees, saying that the latter are “used as bargaining chips” by their own leaders.
“Refugee status is inherited, and the issue makes it difficult to solve the conflict. They’re waiting for a solution that will never be,” she stated.
The world can only learn from Palestinian refugees how to create a problem, Livni added, emphasizing that they are the only refugee population in the world in which the status is conferred to later generations.
Former Lebanese prime minister Fuad Seniora, who held his post during the Second Lebanon War, when Livni was foreign minister, was present at the conference....
