All wars are fought by the young.

But only the Palestinians have run recruiting campaigns aimed at young children. They showed Mohamed al Durra happy in heaven, inviting the boys of Palestine to join him as happy martyrs. Heaven looked very nice -- there were green fields, and kites flying, and games.

This crosses a line that Israel does not cross, nor any other Western country.

Finally something you've said that I completely agree with.

The young are always intent on trying to prove their "manhood", or win some kind of accolades for themselves...

But it's a bit extreme when they are having the kids drilling in their school courtyards and encouraging them to go up against armed soldiers.

And blowing up civilians on purpose is a far cry from their non-deliberate deaths as a result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
