We have the television on at work during lunch. Just now, MSNBC had a report about “militant” training camps in Palestinian areas. Training camps for children.
One scene showed kids throwing stones at a retreating tank. My thoughts were that that is a clever ploy for propaganda purposes. One of two things will happen. 1) The tank will shoot and kill the kids. 2) The tank will continue to retreat without shooting. Either way, the value of this footage in the Arab world is enormous. The first would allow them to show Israelis killing children. The second would allow them to show the Zionists in full retreat in the face of stiff resistance by Palestinian children.
My question is: What does the UN have to say about children being trained to fight? The silence is deafening.
Have you watched Seeds of Hatred? Scary…

Just watched it. Thanks for the link.
I also watched two hours on the topic on Discovery Times Channel today. An interesting point I hadn’t heard before was that the Muslims like to build mosques on any site Jews view as holy. I knew the Dome of the Rock was put up on the Temple Mount and hailed as the location of Mohammed’s ascent to Heaven, even though he never went to Jerusalem.
