That's why I specified kids under 12. 1 - There has been at least one suicide bomber under 12, even if he was stopped and didn't go through with it. 2 - That's rather arbitrary isn't it? Whatever age the youngest suicide bomber was you can make the age one year lower and then ask "To what lengths will you go to make the Palestinians wrong?!" because there have been no suicide bombers under that age. So then, are you saying that it doesn't matter how many Palestinian children get killed because we don't know the youngest, documented age of a suicide bomber? In addition, does that mean you think its perfectly alright for the Israelis to kill as many children as they want since we don't the exact cutoff age for suicide bombers and therefore every child is a potential enemy? I3 - My original statement was "The Palestinian death totals include children killing themselves to kill Israelis, children killed by Israeli fire when the Palestinians set up a situation where the children will be caught in the crossfire, children attacking armed soldiers and getting killed, children killed by Palestinian bullets in crossfires, Palestinians killed as collaborators, ect." That hardly equals an assertion that waves of preteen suicide bombers where being sent after Israelis. No, it doesn't but your assertion suggests that the children are mostly at fault and that the Israelis are rarely if ever at fault. How is it that your perspective ends up putting almost the entire blame on the Palestinian children? ted
