Again, the material is all archived in the major newspaper sites. I have read it in papers like the Post, but cannot easily give it to you in that form. But if you believe that all the citations in the links I gave you are a lie, I cannot stop you........

the only places where such tactics re Palestinian children are claimed are Israeli websites

That's must mean all of those photos were staged by Israeli propagandists??

I showed you a site called Reporter with Borders, where they protested against a Palestinian restriction against photographing palestinian children marching in uniform with weapons... That's not Israeli.....

I've met a number of photographers and journalists who have spent time both in Israel and the PA.. They typically cite fault lying with both sides politically speaking, but they told me that they always had to worry about what they reported related to the Palestinians because they might be denied a future opportunity to work there...

I just have to ask why we don't see western media sources reporting on the mid-east?? Is it because most of don't speak Arabic, but the Israelis treat that language as co-equal with Hebrew??

And I guess the real question is how will it change your perspective on Arafat and the Palestinians if someone DOES find sources other than Israeli news...

Like maybe the Italians?? Remember the brutal mob that tore those two unarmed Israeli reservists apart in a Palestinian poliice station they sought shelter in?? The photos were taken by an Italian and included a video. The video has not be widely distributed because the cameraman was threatened with death, as I recall.

zonder,

Thank you for the effort, but still, the point remains - the only places where such tactics re Palestinian children are claimed are Israeli websites.

The last article I posted on the Palestinian recruitment of child martyrs came from the Toronto Globe and Mail, a mainstream and well-respected newspaper.

Furthermore, two of the previous sources I posted were from Arab newspapers, one of which was Palestinian.

Excuse me, but this skepticism is disingenuous.
