Again, a pox upon those whom would USE children for political gain. This is just immoral, and no good can come from it for anyone involved.

Shoot all of them including the photographers then dump them in a big hole and cover it up.

Teaching Kids to Hate is wrong in every instance and should not be tolerated.

Clearly these "people" acting in front of the cameras and making fools of themselves are far inferior, in both moral constitution and intelligence, to the brave, righteous soldiers of the IDF. Only a weak minded, naive or antisemitic person could ever believe the *lies told by this evil cabal of "palestinians", if there even is such a thing.

Joris Luyendijk - They're just like people (2006)

"
In People Like Us, which became a bestseller in Holland, Joris Luyendijk tells the story of his five years as a correspondent in the Middle East. Extremely young for a correspondent but fluent in Arabic, he spoke with stone throwers and terrorists, taxi drivers and professors, victims and aggressors, and all of their families. He chronicles first-hand experiences of dictatorship, occupation, terror, and war. His stories cast light on a number of major crises, from the Iraq War to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, along with less-reported issues such as underage orphan trash-collectors in Cairo.

The more he witnessed, the less he understood, and he became increasingly aware of the yawning gap between what he saw on the ground and what was later reported in the media. As a correspondent, he was privy to a multitude of narratives with conflicting implications, and he saw over and over again that the media favored the stories that would be sure to confirm the popularly held, oversimplified beliefs of westerners. In People Like Us, Luyendijk deploys powerful examples, leavened with humor, to demonstrate the ways in which the media gives us a filtered, altered, and manipulated image of reality in the Middle East." -- amazon

I have no affiliation with the book, except to say I've read it and its amazing. Its brilliant at describing both the Palestinian and Israeli media extravaganza and what both sides do to get on the cover of time magazine. You'll be ashamed of the way our media forms us about the conflict and about the entire region and how wrong we all are.

You're joking right? Sarcasm Button?

Maybe to be fair we could show some videos of the IDF killing their neighbors or occupying their territory. I'll bet if Canada was occupying America we wouldn't teach our children that Canadians are sweet, gracious people who should be respected.

Seriously have none of you people seen the videos of Israeli children being used to stage a fake trauma when they were ordered out of the West Bank? If you don't know anything about what's going on their, maybe you should study up first.

These kids and their parents are not Palestinians. They are Israeli sympathisers protesting in support of Palestinians.

Still abhorrent.

Wow that's amazing...no one could look this up before posting? Lying idiots.

This is the truth about this video that was shot in the small Palestinian village of Nabi Saleh on November 2nd:

This is the original unedited 6min video, posted on YouTube on November 2nd:

So ask yourself the question; WHO is using these children for political gain?

The residents of Nabi Saleh and their supporters who are international activists.

It cannot be disputed that Palestinians do and have used children for political gain. Nor can it be disputed that Israelis have used excessive and lethal force against.

In this particular instance they are protesting about the expansion of the Israeli settlement of Halamish. Halamish is not a border settlement like we are led to believe most settlements are. It is 10 miles from the Israel border.

It has the constant protection, and therefore tacit approval, of the Israeli government and violates a multitude of international agreements and laws regarding occupation. Each week there are protests which are met with a military presence against an unarmed mob. These protests are monitored by Amnesty International. Unfortunately their site is down at the moment and I can't find any reliable links to this other than the BBC which says little. However you can read the following if you want to know more.

I guess the crux of my argument is this: To what extend does the use of children for political purposes compare to the often brutal and expanding occupation of a homeland? What is the right thing for these villagers to do under the circumstances?

Here's a link to the Amnesty article

In response to another comment, kids can learn to hate something without anyone actively teaching them to do so. All life responds to and is sculpted by its environment.

Who would have thought that those 12 year olds that bitch over the mic in FPS are actually adding realism to my game.
