[Herschel]

Since the beginning of the violence in 2000, 29 suicide attacks were carried out by youth under the age of 18.


Since May 2001, 22 shootings attacks and attacks using explosive devices were carried out by youth under the age of 18.


Since the beginning of 2001, more than 40 youth under the age of 18 were involved in attempted suicide bombings that were thwarted (of them, three during 2004).

There has been some discussion in this forum regarding the necessity of killing of Palestinian children. This provides possible explanations.

1. LOL.

Herschel, remember when a two year old boy and his mother were shot dead by the IDF when the IDF mistakenly thought a mine was planted on the road? It seems the IDF tank threw a tread, and the brave and valiant IDF decided to shoot the mother and child in a grove as "mine planters." An IDF investigation determined the tank did not run over a mine. The tread broke on its own.

2. Sharon with the help

of his out-of-control IDF are in the business of sowing seeds of hatred. This appears to be the grand plan. IDF actions are deliberate and calculated. Keep stirring the pot and sowing those seeds and maybe the world will come to the conclusion that Palestinians are not worth their own lives.

4. Believe it.

Do a search on the thread starter's posts. Then you may want to leave DU in disgust.

5. Yeah well I probably won't

I see enough of that already. Boy they sure did a turn for the right wing when they assassinated Barak, didn't they? (Is that right, Barak... memory's fuzzy?)

Who executed him again?

7. It was Rabin, not Barak.

And a right wing Israeli student assasinated him because Rabin had the audacity to attempt to make peace.

12. Thanks, that's who I meant

And it figures that it was a right winger who killed him.

:grr:

9. Begging your pardon

While some of us have more pragmatic views, we are all progressives.

11. So all will know

I stand behind this quote. I will leave it at that.

13. That's a matter of opinion, Sir

And it's one I don't share.

Sharon = Right wing
Sharon's tactics = Right wing
Support for Sharon or his tactics = Right wing

At least that's the view from my perspective.

6. "There has been some discussion in this forum regarding ...

... the necessity of killing of Palestinian children."

That's one discussion I'm glad I missed.

[Evil_Dewers]

8. The thread starter is the only one I know of

who advocated the "necessity of killing children."
