why do they continue to fight from places where children are playing... Where is the outrage of these fighters taking no account in the danger of the people around them. These parents should take a gun to the guys who fired the mortars. First of all, the Israeli military plants itself in Palestinian civilian areas. Are you suggesting that the Palestinians should evacuate every place the Israelis choose to place a tank? Secondly, you lied anyway: <<< . . . Defence for Children International, a Geneva-based human rights group, said that 463 Palestinians under the age of 18 have been killed by Israeli forces or Jewish settlers since the beginning of the Palestinian uprising almost three years ago. Speaking at a news conference in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Catherine Hunter, the research coordinator for DCI in the occupied territories, said, "Contrary to Israeli propaganda, DCI documentation shows that only a small percentage of children lose their lives in or around demonstrations or clashes, while most are killed in or around the home or on their way to somewhere." . . . >>> npr.org
