Ongoing Palestinian terror attacks against Israel.

Apartheid, occupation, discrimination, subjugation, humiliation, collective punishment, land theft, becoming a refugee in your own country, having your house demolished, having babies burnt alive, and the list goes on.....

Are you seriously even going to try and defend this kind of behaviour?
You really want to go down on record as doing that?
A 12 year old child?

Are you sure you don't want to sit down first and have a good think over this?

The arcade or mall? I don't know? Why would you ask me that?

Because you said it is the same on both sides?
So you should be able to find some news stories of Jewish kids who were brainwashed attacking Muslims with knives?
 
Yep, I am fairly certain that Polish Jews didn't send their 12 year olds to go kill Nazis.

Not in the slightest, just that a country that is not occupied and has an overwhelmingly powerful military isn't the sort of environment that might encourage people to do desperate things. Children being involved in political activism, whether violent or non-violent is not unique to Palestine. Do I agree that children should be child soldiers? Of course not, but do you really think that children growing up around this kind of mayhem aren't going to be negatively affected by it? Affected enough that they may take it upon themselves to do silly things..? If Israel treated the Palestinians the way they treated their own citizens I am pretty sure that this kind of thing would not happen. If you keep treating people like savages and enemies then pretty soon that is how they will start to act..

The Polish Jews? You mean that event where 150,000 Polish people died in an uprising in Warsaw?
Brilliant strategy that proved to be. :confused:

Being wilfully obtuse?

You say you don't agree with it, but then you go on to defend it....
There is no excuse for this whatsoever... and the use of child soldiers in conflict zones won't stop until people stop thinking they can defend it or justify it.
Why not rather just condemn it, like a rational, peace loving person would.
You did know that you had that option, didn't you?

Why are you defending the violent oppression of people?

Show me one news article where Israel is using child soldiers?
Or are you also going to go on record as defending this?

So far we have a list of defenders who see the exploitation of children in a war zone as defensible....

I did condemn it, I said it was wrong, what more do you want? You just want a nice neat package to demonise Palestinians, yet you have zero proof that these kids didn't act on their own. You refuse to acknowledge that Israel share the blame for creating this kind of mentality by brutalising an entire population group and that exposing kids to horrifying violence is exactly the sort of thing that could turn them into child terrorists without any help from adult.

Oh great, are we done making schit up about other forumites' views?
 
Sick and tired of seeing the usual lot on this forum defending the vilest of terrorist actions.
Why can't you guys just come out and condemn it unequivocally for once?
Why does there always have to be a caveat with your pathetic "condemnation"?

Why not just say "yes, this was disgusting, I wish this would never happen?"
It's already happened several times in the last few weeks, so don't tell me this is isolated.
