Kids brandish guns to test IDF vigilance
2006-06-01
A group of Palestinian children were sent towards the Gaza Strip border fence holding toy guns on Thursday in order to test the vigilance of the soldiers on duty.

From a distance, troops noticed four apparently armed Palestinians approaching the border north of the Kissufim crossing.

When the four were some 400 meters from the fence, the soldiers realized that they were children, who looked to be about 13 years of age, and that their guns were toys.

The Gaza security fence has become the scene of almost daily incidences of would-be infiltrations from the Gaza Strip, attempted terror attacks, and occasionally exchanges of fire. Earlier Thursday, IDF forces arrested two unarmed Palestinians who breached the fence in order to cross into Israel.

And only Monday, a Palestinian was shot and killed by IDF soldiers after they identified three men near the fence and fired at them, suspecting they intended to carry out an attack.

#16  In a way, I am impressed. Previously, I would have thought that nothing could further increase my contempt for this group of people. Do we give an award for the Most Morally Depraved Act o' the Day?

#15  The children were sent. They were to appear armed and attacking. These sick, sick dregs of beasts must be killed, exterminated, not "recognized" or given a land.

#14  Paleostinian equivalent of "go play in traffic"?

#13  Brave Lions of Islam sending out kiddies in the hopes the IDF will shot them. Very thoughtful, caring, very Islamic.

#12  I think the Joos should just strap bombs to the Paleo kids and send them back home.

#11  That kind of thing would take more than 48 hours.

Start out with the tittys and beer and they will forget all about alan. Make them question and wonder why the people where they are from have decided to live in such a self inflected shite hole. That might work.

Sending the kids out for "martyrdom operations" is an allen approved tactic. Like German National Sociaism this sect needs to be curtailed.

#10  The Israelis should open a small, well-covered gap in the fence for the kids to come through. Then if the kids ever do come through, catch them.

Once you have them, it's 'Alice in Wonderland' time for them. Take 48-72 hours and reprogram their asses, then turn them loose with a boring and dull cover story.

Since the Israelis are so squeamish about playing dirty, reprogram the kids to be "wet blankets", to convince their friends that attacking Israelis isn't worth it, isn't fun, and doesn't work. Train them to just automatically reject violence and disapprove of those who do. To be bringdowns to the enthusiasm to hurt others.

#9  Why isn't this kind of shit videotaped?

Or is it and the MSM simply ignores it unless some kids blood is spilled?

#8  Wait, are they sure they were toy guns? The photo of the AK-47 I saw in the hands of the paleo 3 year old in Ramallah Ramah (I Sam 7:15-17) sure looked real to me.

Real guns are for propaganda pics ("see how ferocious we are? We'll fight until the very last drop of our children's blood, our kiddies just want to kill some jews, arrrr") shooted by paleo photographers aimed at arab/muslim consumption, toy guns are for propaganda pics ("innocent kids playing around murdered by childkillers nazionist jackbooted soldiers") shooted by paleo stringers working for western news agencies aimed at international consumption???

#6  Cheap effective way (if one's society sees humans as disposable) to initiate an international firestorm of criticism. Foolproof, to: virtually ignored by MSM if no Israeli armed reaction...

#5  Tear gas, in increasing amounts, until the kiddies leave.

#2  Another typical trait of the lions of islam as well as well as males in the animal kingdom: Send out the young, and the females to verify safety.
