You look at that 18year old and realize someone did not love and value his life....therefore he is turned into a murderer of innocents.This a a terrible culture.

MEG I was looking at some yahoo pictures of the crowd in the streets chanting their Palestinian sprew and noticed that it was a crowd of young teenage looking boys. It is so depressing. But then it was also depressing to me when I went to see my son ship out to Kuwait and when I got to the base and saw all of the young American males and females, 18 and 19 year olds that were shipping out also. I questioned some because they looked so young and so small, they had not really considered having to go to war, some had joined the military in order to further their education, and some to better their economical situation. Some had only been in the military a short time. Boy did they get a surprise. My son has been in the Army for 12 years, he did 2 peacekeeping tours in Bosnia, but had never been involved during a battle until now.

But I really feel sorrow for those Palestinian children because they have never had the opportunity to know any other way. They have been taught hate since the beginning of their lives.

Agreed. I see an impressionable, idealistic, adolescent who was easy pickings for hardened Hamas leadership. Convenient that the higher-ups in Hamas have teenagers to do the dirty work, eh?
