Child Abuse in Gaza

update I didn't swipe this from LGF, though this is a recurring theme on their site.

Look at all those young kids ... just feet away from this scumbag. I guess, so soon after Beslan, it's stupid for me to think terrorists care about the lives of innocent children. But these kids are there voluntarily and are not an explicit target of the bomb. I guess they're just expendable to the terrorist, to the parents and to that culture, and in some ways, I think that's even worse.

Palestinian terrorist, surrounded by children

A Palestinian militant of Hamas wires a makeshift explosive device as children stand near him, in a narrow alleyway of the refugee camp of Jebaliya, outside Gaza City, Thursday Sept. 9, 2004. Israel troops entered the Jebaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip and took positions in houses in what the army said was an effort to stop Palestinians firing Qassam rockets into Israel. One Palestinian gunman was killed and three were wounded when an Israeli attack helicopter fired two missiles toward the area. (AP Photo/Hatem Moussa)

And this, on the same day where a 9-year-old was allegedly killed by Israelis. You'd think Palestinian parents would be more concerned with their childrens' safety. I just don't get it.

I think the point is for the kids to get some 'hands on' experience for what they will be doing in the future, especially if these guys become more popular:

Marvelous. Kach, part 2. Sad, but not surprising.
