#1 What loving parents to give their child a plastic toy that closely resembles a weapon in a conflict zone.

#3 Who says it was a TOY gun? 13 is plenty old to be dangerous. At that age squirrels lived in mortal fear of me.

#4 LGF runs pictures of Paleo kiddies with lethal-looking plastic weapons all the time.

The kid was deliberately deployed to draw Israeli fire.

Allahu akbar.

#5 So, how much money a shahid who didn't kill any Jews nets to his family?

#7 My armchair analysis is that the Gaza coup interrupted the Paleo anti-Israel operational capabilities as the Gaza warlords have to rearm, reload, restock and train up more gunnies and boomers with less resources, while the West Bank politicians are still in shock over the loss of their seaside dachas. (And where *is* Yasser's Nobel prize, anyway?)

And while Hamas' and Fatah's cooperation was tenuous, they could at least triangulate effectively with PIJ to kill a Jooo or three from time to time.

Now, the tenuous bonds are (probably? it's hard to tell with Paleos) shattered, and the Western nations are elbowing each other to be first in line to throw cash and guns at Fatah.

In order to keep the international press happy, and to keep the populace seething in Israel's direction, they are causing the deaths of their own children.

#8 Good. Kill more.

I realize this is an unenlightened and arguably unhelpful thought. But it is far less so than pushing a child out to be martyred for the benefit of the soft-headed and weak-kneed viewing public of the West. They want a death cult? Give it to them.

#9 I call bullshit on the whole story. We have already seen what the media did with Mohamed al Dura.

#10 And in Part II of this epic story, the Israelis stomp a cute fluffy bunny to death and devour the dripping carcass uncooked.

Yeah, but was it because of the gun?

They want a death cult? Give it to them.

As an unknown commentator once remarked: "Islam is a creed fixated upon martyrdom. Why should we in the West be so churlish as to deny them their wish?"

The time has come for Muslims must learn for once and all time that they must be very, very careful of what they wish for.
