52. She pushed the boy into the soldier to provoke a reaction for the cameras....

And the soldiers are laughing because they're not buying the bait. They know they're being goaded into doing something that would embarass the IDF in headlines everywhere.

Putting kids into the front line is exactly what Palestinian leadership calls for, as the Arafat video above shows when he praises child martyrs. That video is not some "one-off" video either. There are literally hundreds that show Palestinians promoting a death cult; more than willing to sacrifice children, encouraging children to seek death, and praising those who die. One video after the next.

I know you're not interested in these videos.

Apparently none of this is happening in your view, because to even acknowledge this is racist. We cannot have a productive conversation here because one of us refuses to deal with reality. It's why our views are so dramatically different.

Why do you do it? Why can't you acknowledge what's happening?
