Many children have been killed during this Middle East conflict – both Israeli and PLO Arab children. However, while the IDF have gone to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties, our enemies are deliberately targeting civilians, including children. Which is obviously a heinous crime against humanity.
Try telling that to our “peace partners” the Egyptians.
“We have no argument regarding the question of the legitimacy of these operations….” the Egyptian newspaper continued, “[e]ven if during [a martyrdom operation] civilians or children are killed….”
“Ultimately, we should bless every Palestinian man or woman who goes calmly to carry out a martyrdom operation, in order to receive a reward in the Hereafter, sacrificing her life for her religion and her homeland and knowing that she will never return from this operation.” Thus expounded the editors of the Egyptian government daily Al-Masaa in a late January edition.
Which brings me back to the point about PLO Arab children being harmed, despite the IDF doing everything in their power to avoid it. There will always be “collateral damage” during war, but in the case of the PLO Arabs, they deliberately put their children in harm’s way. Exhibit A.
If that isn’t bad enough, they are feeding these children on a diet of hate and jihad; the result being that the children voluntarily put themselves in harm’s way.
Here are some examples of this “education”: Photos from the 2001 Graduation Ceremony of the “Islamic Association” Kindergartens.
It is thus clear to me that the PLO Arab terrorists and their financial supporters are responsible not only for the deaths of Israeli children, but also their “beloved” PLO Arab children.
