Palestinian Father Tries to Get Son Killed
2016-08-01
h/t Instapundit
In this video of a weekly demonstration near Modiin Illit, shot yesterday, you see a Palestinian father urging his young son toward a group of IDF soldiers, yelling at them to shoot him, as explained here. What greater honor for a four-year-old boy than to be on the evening news as a "martyr"? The soldiers don’t take the bait; I interpret their reaction as one of disbelief. One of them shakes hands with the boy. The father yells at his son to throw rocks at the soldiers, but he can’t throw hard enough to do any damage.
Happened to me in intifada I. Except it was an older sister, not a father. That was the day I stopped being a Libertarian.

#4  That is seriously sick. Poor kid.

And if he was sent back to his father - he probably beat the kid...
