For the children...

Bill Crawford at All Things Conservative makes a good point (and the mainstream media doesn't talk about this nearly enough): can you imagine the shouts of outrage there would be around the world if the Israelis used child soldiers in their battles against terrorists? Of course, they don't. But look who does. Quote: "IDF troops killed two Palestinian children along the Gaza-Israel border on Tuesday, Palestinian medical officials said. The two dead were 10 and 12 years old, according to Dr. Muawiya Hassanin of the Palestinian Health Ministry. A third child, 10, was seriously wounded and six other people were lightly hurt, he said.. ...An IDF spokesperson told The Jerusalem Post that terror organizations in the Gaza Strip often send children to retrieve launchers from the field after Kassam rockets have been fired, and it appeared that this is what happened on this occasion. "
