from a reporter ( and I am paraphrasing):
I have seen, in Bosnia and Kosovo, children being lined up and shot, in Africa I saw the brutal conditions of the child soldier-slaves, but I have yet to see anything like Israel where the children were baited into traps and shot for sport.

it may be true that children in the palestine are 'sent out' to fight but you really have to understand the way islam, especially arabs, view children before you can criticise. to a palestinian to stop a child fighting would be oppression. i'm not saying they're right to let them fight, but they are not being used as human shields and they're being 'let' to fight not made.

When is enough ...enough?

If you care at all about the mutilation, torture and murder of small children, who are so oppressed they have no choice but to risk throwing stones at armed troops, then join the protest outside the Israeli Embassy in London, at 1pm.

Enough


Americans are the child molesterers

In Central America, Americans threw babies into the air for target practice. In Somalia, Americans killed hundreds of children who stood outside the home of General Aideed. In Vietnam, Americans raped female children as young as eight.

Americans are child-molestorers and child-killers. Death to America!

END ISRAELI APARTHEID

Firstly, this is a deeply offensive picture, and
comment.
Palestinians have never used children as human shields.
However, it is important to answer the question, where
does the idea of a 'human shield' come from?
Quite simply it is one used by the forces of repression
(American, Israeli etc.).
Whenever for instance the American armed forces drop bombs on civilian targets they usually claim that the sites were used by terrorists. Likewise when Israeli troops go into villages & areas such as Bethlehem and kill civilians
they claim that they were being used as a cover by
terrorists.
I will leave a summary of the whole injustice of Israeli
occupation (they were ordered to evacuate the gaza strip
and golan heights by the UN in 1967) and apartheid to
others.

Could someone please post up on the indymedia
as a response to this picture, the famous picture of
a palestinian child being shot dead in his father's arms,
as his father tries to protect him from israeli troops

i'm offended deeply by this obvious zionist hate cartoon. This is not the place for shit like that and (in accordance with IMC editorail guidelines) should be hidden from view as not to cause any further offence.

and as for the fuck ups who commented afterwards? get a life brothers before it gets you
