I have always wondered what Isreal can do to eliminate the threat of the terrorist organizations in Palastinian controlled areas using Children as weapons and/or the delivery of bombs.

This link will show that Palestinians care less about their children and in fact send them out to die, for what? 1 DOLLAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!

Soooo, how does one break the trend of Adults who are scared to die themselves send out kids to die for 'their cause'. I am sure the kids dunno what they are even fighting/dieing about other then what the adults there tell them.


Poor Kid, has to hold an automatic rifle instead of toys to play with because his 'Parents' choose to let their kid die for them. Unreal



This upsets me soo much I can not understand why the UN has not stepped in and stopped them from using kids as soldiers.

btw, by kids I mean 15 and younger. Any older they know what they are doing......


I also wonder how many kids the palastinians say Isreal killed was not just playing but actually attacking the Isreali soldiers.


EDIT:Forgot the link

what link?

okay i see the link now :)

well, i have a hard time believing that palestinean parents love their children any less than parents from other parts of the world. and there have been articles about how the families of suicide bombers did not even know their son was going to do it (and would have been against it). it's my opinion that these children probably did not have their parent's blessings... like they were just hanging out and playing and some guys were like "hey we'll give you some money to do this".

If someone is shooting at you (or throwing explosives at you), you have no choice but to shoot back or you will likely lose your life. That said, I believe that the people who are responsible for this particular strategy should be put before a firing squad.

Lastly, that link is direct from the IDF, and the content of the article smells like propaganda. (However, the various pictures around the web of babies with explosives belts strapped on, of kindergarteners wearing fatigues while holding machine guns.. those appear to be genuine.)

Very true.

Wish we could just go in and get all the kids from there.

I am sure it does look like propaganda, unless you have witnessed it first hand (I haven't).
