LOL! Durka durka!
Break the teeth in their mouths, O God;
tear out, O LORD, the fangs of the lions!
Let them vanish like water that flows away;
when they draw the bow, let their arrows be blunted.
Psalm 58: 6-7
I agree with you. These kids seem too young. After their bar or bat mitzvah, ok. But let kids be kids.
"This missile's name is 'Pork'"
Actually I agree with the other poster. This really doesn't seem like a healthy thing for Israeli children to be doing.
While I see your point, I'm just not sure how I'd react if I was having to drag my children into bomb shelters 3-4 times a day and night. I'd probably want to do something to help them fight the fear.
SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!
Good one.
During WW2, young girls younger than this assembled STEN guns and hand grenades....what a nation of wimps we are raising.
HEAD ON, APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD!
You gotta say it 3 times.....
"Well, as much as I support Israel in this conflict, I oppose what these children are doing. I don't believe children should be involved in this way."
I was born during World War II, so I was too young to participate in the way our neighborhood kids did. They collected papers, collected pots and pans, collected grease, went door to door with war bond fliers and collected pennies for penny drives.
Without a couple of years, some of those kids were Marines, soldiers, sailors and a couple of them were shooting at Nazi fights from B-17 gun positions.
And I think, without exception, they would laugh at you for your stand.
"Shalom from my daddy, raghead."
"Thanks to this, I'll never have to wear a burqa."
"Ever heard of Amalek?"
"Dirka dirka Mohammed jihad."
"When I grow up, I'm going to shoot one of these at you."

You are darn right, children were a critical part of the industrial labor force in Britain and later Germany and Russia, and lastly Japan. People today think America was terrible for bombing entire cities, but it was a TOTAL WAR in which everyone, and I mean everyone pitched in.
As a Jew, I can tell you that the Jewish people have been defending themselves for centuries. These children are no longer children. When your lives are threatened and your homeland marked for annihilation, you grow up fast. I doubt there were children who remained children in the Warsaw Ghetto. All fought until the end. If the United States were attacked with rockets, like Israel is being attacked, our children would grow up quickly as well. Pray that never happens.
IMO, we can thank Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton for their helping create this disgrace.

Whoa! 4 out of 5! Not Bad! Durka Dirka already taken by "Got a Rope"
Not a good idea; it further dehumanizes the children in Arab eyes unnecessarily
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
". . .and I mean everyone pitched in."
Yup. Everyone.
