...only this time, it's an Egyptian 7-year-old boy, in Egypt, pretending to be a Palestinian. And so it spreads.

They don't appear to be in a V. So what does THIS hand signal mean?

Isn't the Scouts salute thing something like this (y'know, dib dib dib and all that jibba jabba)...

It's happening so much that it's not worth starting a new thread.

Now, though, something new.

Summary: three 14-year-old Palestinian boys wrote suicide notes, and acting completely on their own, built rudimentary pipe bombs and caried them with knives and an axe, intent on attacking a Jewish settlement. They were shot dead by Israeli policemen guarding the settlement.

Messages from Hamas and other sections of society urge the end of using children in this way, risking a suicidal generation. They then blamed Israel for the deaths of these three... basically ensuring that the suicides will go on.

Let me guess; this incident will soon be on the list of Israeli massacres in another thread, right?
