Whether the child is Protestant or Catholic makes no difference to the grief that the parents feel....same visa vi Arab/Jewish

Only one side pressures the parents to rejoice in the glorious martyrdom of their child, and to throw a party, not a funeral, to say how happy and proud they are of their dead son. How they feel inside, who can tell? Only one side teaches small impressionable children that martyrdom is the ultimate glory, and urges small boys to run to the front of the battlefield. If you look at the casualties, you'll see that by far the most of the dead Palestinian children have been boys throwing stones or molotov cocktails, often in the midst of a larger battle. The dead Israeli children have been riding buses or eating at pizzerias.
