Thanks for showing your biases against Israelis with your thread title. See, they're the ones who save innocents, not the like the terrorists who use them for bombs that they're too cowardly to bring themselves. Yes, the Tanzim (Arafat is in charge of them) sent a mentally challenged boy who didn't want to die, to his death.

And multi billion dollar state supported isreali terrorism fuled daily by everyday americans such as yourself is cool, right? I don't take sides friend, I just observe the black comedy of truth.

If it were 'truth' you were on about, you'd notice that Israel isn't state-supported terrorism. It is locked in a war it did not start, against the same radical extremist mindset that fuels terrorists in Spain, in France, in Iraq, in Saudi Arabia, and those who attacked America not so many years ago.

no offense, vmarks, but you're hardly non-biased on this issue.

a little balance would help.

vmarks is right.

There's your balance.

It's extremely disgusting to abuse children for this.

I agree that it's disgusting to use a mentally ill 14 year old to do this sort of thing. Equally disgusting is the way the Israelis had him pose for the cameras and used him as a marketing tool.

Without responding in detail to this whole issue though, I just wonder why you say the IDF saved innocents here. I thought this kid's "mission" was to take out IDF members at the checkpoint. Are members of Israel's military "innocents"? When we had terrorism in South Africa, we always thought the National Defence Force was fair game.

If the IDF are "innocents", then are there any legitimate Israeli targets in your opinion? Would there be any kind of attack on Israeli targets that you would not have a problem with? How 'bout sabotage by Palestinians? Or are you saying that any application of force by Palestinians is illegitimate?

'Moral equivalence' from the left reaches new spectacularly bizarre lows every day now.

Taking photographs of a person now = moral equivalent to strapping a bomb to a mentally ill person you’ve taken gross advantage of, and not only trying to murder the person, but any innocent bystanders they get near as well. Riiiiiight.

Notice that NO MATTER WHAT radical Palestinians do, the 'moral equivalence' knee-jerkers rather than condemn the action and leave it at that (if they condemn it at all) nearly ALWAYS have to add in some ridiculous moral equivalent stretch along the lines of : "Oh yeah? Well the Israelis did...!"
