Just when you that that PLO Arabs’ cynical (ab)use of children could get no worse, it gets worse.
Israeli security forces arrested three Palestinian youths who planned to carry out a suicide attack out of anger over Israel’s West Bank barrier, relatives said Sunday.
The youths, ages 13 and 14, were among the youngest ever arrested for planning suicide attacks.
Even the parents of the children are outraged.
The 13-year-olds claimed to be members of Islamic Jihad, while Suafta said he belonged to the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, a militant group linked to Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement, family members said. The boys were arrested last Thursday.
“I want to carry out an attack against (Prime Minister Ariel) Sharon’s fence. This fence, we will blow it up also, the Islamic Jihad youth movement,” Tarek wrote in the letter.
“We want you to give out candies and don’t cry for us and hold a big demonstration,” he added, referring to traditional salutes given to “martyrs” who die for the Palestinian cause.
Tarek’s parents were outraged and criticized Islamic Jihad for conscripting such young boys to their ranks.
“My son doesn’t know how to write such a letter and never belonged to any groups. Someone older wrote this letter for him,” said his mother, Amira Abu Mahsen.
Mohammed Abu Mahsen said two men in their mid-20s looked for his young son last week and he didn’t know why.
“Now I know why they were looking for my young son,” Abu Mahsen said. “I will complain to the Palestinian intelligence to find whoever wanted to send my son … I have to find out who these people are who wanted to send my son, my young son.”
We are now at a point that women and children are being used for attacks. Heck, so are animals. Don’t the PLO Arabs have any limits?
