12 YEAR OLDS IN THE FRONTLINE...



The interception by Israeli defence forces of a 15 year old boy seeking to achieve manhood by blowing himself to pieces whilst killing as many Jews as possible demonstrates how sick Palestinian society has become. That is not really any surprise. What has been shocking is the manner in which this story has been handled by the UK media. In essence, it has chosen to cast doubt on the authenticity of the story. Frequent implied slurs on the IDF abound, and instead of honestly reporting events captured on camera, the media instead seeks to imply that the boy concerned was the victim..not of the Palestinians that set him up for his planned visit to paradise, but of big bad Israel. Anti-Semitism is never far from the surface when it comes to reporting of events in Israel.
