toddler suicide bomber
http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/meast/...oto/index.html
The IDF says they found this picture of a toddler dressed up as a suicide attacker.
The family of the baby says that it was a joke done during a party:
[quote]
"The photograph was taken some time ago at a party when someone dressed up the cutest baby as a suicide bomber," a relative said.[\quote]
Is this for real or is the photo a fake like the PA claim?
If the family is telling the truth, then the Pals have hit a new low.
Who in their right mind dresses up a baby as suicide attacker as a joke or a game during a party?

There is no reason to doubt this picture. We all know what education Palestinians get.

It's comments like that, Eli, that make peace impossible. You assume that all Palestinians hate you and your people personally. And that's not true.
You assume that every Palestinian teaches their children that murder is a good thing. That's not true.
Both sides must trust the other before peace can be achieved. You have to stop making assumptions. The Israelis and Palestinians cannot hate each other just because the other hates them back.
Never ending death!
But that is a pretty tasteless joke...
I hope you were being sarcastic, Eli.

Call me cynical, but the words "Israeli propaganda" spring to mind...

Are Pals not allowed to have humor nowadays? I, for one, think it's ingeniously funny.

It might of cource be propaganda but I wouldn't doubt that it could or have happend. There's a lot of stupid parents on this globe that does this kind of thing. I've seen pictures of children i every damn uniform one can think of by know. Some more disgusting than the rest.
I've seen children around my block dressed in T-shirts with a policeuniform-print on lately. Not good for my paranoia.

There is nothing funny about that picture! Dressing up your baby as a murderer is not good humor. That pic is absolutely revolting, if you ask me.

I have an odd sense of humor. Plus I'm pretty cold and heartless. You just don't like the idea of people having different views than you.

I have no problem with people with different views. You'll just forgive me for not accepting views that involve the indiscriminate killing of civilians.

The diplomat, these views are totally involuntary though.
Klesh, the problem is that most people have forgotten what the unibomber looks like. It wouldn't really produce the desired result.

Apoc.
We'll find out wont we? That is my garb for this year. The hooded sweatshirt I will be using is in fact my Apolyton hoody!  Got me the glasses, and an old US Army field jacket. Grow my Beard out good and scraggly for it, and I am the spitting image. Heh.

Maybe it will work. Make sure you take a picture before you go out.

In case any of our resident "all Euros are anti Israel/pro Hamas" are reading this, I'll reassure them that today's BBC reporting has been the most damning of the Palestinians that I've seen in years. The militia schools got slammed.

From that BBC article:
|
Quote:
|
Some opinion polls conducted in Palestinian areas show a majority of people favour suicide bombings against Israeli civilians as a tactic to liberate land occupied by Israel.
But recently a group of Palestinian intellectuals took out an advertisement in Palestinian newspapers condemning suicide attacks as counter-productive, but their call has been widely ignored.

Oh, what a lovely war.

Tasteless, but not an issue
The Picture is very tasteless and in horrible spirit. I don't think it was forged by the IDF, which is a pretty outrageous and stupid idea, but I also think its a non-issue and a waste of time. We already know most Palestinians support suicide bombers though in these threads we certainly disagree on why.
This picture changes no minds, except those of the ignorant or uninterested, who will be horrified until the next news about Britney Spears come out, and then they will forget it.

You didn't hear??? Justin dumped her for not putting out!!! Kimberlie is slowly recovering from her amnesia, though, and Todd's pact with Satan is starting to finally pay off!
