You are using your admittedly strong powers of deduction to reach a predetermined conclusion that might or might not be true. Huh? I am not deducing anything. I have read many reports in Israeli papers (and in some Arab papers too) which say that boys are taking part in the battles, and are sent to the front too, in hopes of getting some of them killed to score victories on the PR front. I showed you two of these stories. I believe them. The immense glorification of martyrdom in Palestinian schools, media and society has a great deal to do with supplying the willing boys. Many, many stories, have been written in the Western media about the mindset of would-be martyrs and the leadership that inculcates them, both boys and adults. Did you ever read Jeff Goldberg's article Suicide as Strategy in the New Yorker?
