I'll give the Israelis credit for "mendacious artfulness".

You still have not told us why we should believe the Palestinians instead of the Israelis.

It is part of a phenomenon raising fears among child experts and that a generation in the Palestinian territories has suffered serious psychological damage from Israeli violence directed against the Palestinian civilian population

I'm sure such damage exists, but you don't suppose it could have anything to do with the adults dressing up the kiddies with toy suicide belts and encouraging them to become "martyrs" when they get a little older, like 7 or 8?

In general kids are pretty resiliant to "tough times" in the external world. But when their own families are the source of the problem, often they do become well, deranged wouldn't be too extreme a word, would it?

[Tauzero]

Bump!

Even with that grainy videotape, I could see it was adults doing the fake funeral procession. If it was kids at play, how come most of the ran in terror when the "corpse" came to life.

[etcetera]

"I think the Israelis are engaged in a war of propaganda. "

I think that knife cuts both ways. The Arabs aren't innocent of that charge either.

[spqrzilla9]

Its too bad ( not ) that the American people are not fooled by the dishonesty of Palestinian terrorists and their accessories.
