That is sooo sick. The Palestinians missed the best chance they will get for a peace settlement. Wonder when the US will figure out they do not want peace at all. Fred

Even scarier to realize this is not a new development, children have been involved, at least peripherally, in the fighting for a long time. The Isreali's are culpable as well as the Palestinians, so many of their soldiers being so young. How can they justify this? I don't know anyone's God that approves of kids toting around weapons. What a poignant picture to think about on Memorial Day.

We've been pretty blessed in that war has not been fought on this soil in 135 years, other than social wars such as the Civil Rights Movement. As such, it is impossible to imagine what we'd be like if we grew up and lived in constant war zones such as Jerusalem or Dublin or the Sudan. However, as sad as it is to see young boys like these, largely innocents, prepped for coming struggles, I am no less saddened if the innocents are 18. Because there is no doubt that military recruiting pursues those at the prime of their patriotism and nationalism and idealism. Too often, their lives are then put at risk in ventures where private interests, not national ones, are at stake. May the powers bless those who serve, but may they lead us to a world that goes much further in its support of the sanctity of all life, which is short enough by nature.
