It's the Palestinian leadership who treats kids like this as cannon fodder. Do you think Arafat gives a rat's ass that innocent Palestinians suffer? Does Arafat ever miss a meal? Never mind his Swiss bank accounts. I'm afraid Israel plays right into Palestinian hands with these tactics. The last thing the corrupt Palestinian leadership wants is a well-fed, thoughtful, contented population. Such people don't need violent thugs to lead them, and make poor slaves.

The terrorists WANT these two kids to suffer, and be angry. The more crap that falls on their little heads, the more they become useful tools. Every dead kid is another bloody shirt they can wave. As this photo proves, every suffering child is a new weapon in their propaganda arsenal. And in their actual arsenal. Or maybe you don't think talking little Ali and Fatima into wrapping high explosives around their skinny little bodies and going to kill other kids says anything about how they value children?

The current Palestinian leadership doesn't want peace. There are nonviolent tactics that would have gotten them where they wanted to be, if all they want is their own piece of land and independence. They want Israel dead, and until that changes, nothing else will.
