Islamic Jihad invites thousands of children to pick up AK-47, fight summer ennui in activities ranging from shooting practice, fire jumping, and Zio-Nazi army outpost attack
ed note–2 things worth mentioning here–
(a) the obvious angle in ynet reporting this is to paint Palestinians and Muslims in general as dangerous, fanatical killers, but the real question that needs asking is this–WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THESE CHILDREN BY ISRAEL AND THE WEST THAT THIS IS CONSIDERED ‘PLAY’ FOR THEM?
(b) Israel does the same thing–invites Jews from all over the world to come there and ‘train’ with the IDF, which shoots Palestinian children in the head ‘for sport’ as journalist Christopher Hedges wrote in his piece ‘A Gaza Diary’.
Ynet
In a somewhat unorthodox summer camp in the Gaza Strip, children aged between six and 16 picked up AK-47s and engaged in a series of quasi-military drills, including a lively game of “kidnap an Israeli soldier” in the sand dunes of Rafah.
An AFP correspondent listed some of the activities the Islamic Jihad summer camp offers its enrollees: Weapons use, jumping over fire and crawling under barbed wire, all performed to the tune of exploding charges.
Several photographs released on Wednesday show a young khaki-clad vacationer, his face colored in camouflage, dragged by two gun-toting tykes from an “outpost” adorned with an Israeli flag, in what appeared to be a reenactment of the Gilad Shalit kidnapping.
AFP reported that the summer camp organizers expect the participation of thousands between the ages of six and 16.
