Palestinians Recruit Minors as Terrorists, Then Condemn Israel for Shooting 'Innocent Children'

Palestinian terror groups are recruiting minors to carry out terrorist attacks while Palestinian leaders and international organizations are screaming that "innocent children are being killed."
The Palestinian Authority... glorifies terrorists and rewards them and their families with monthly stipends -- essentially a "jobs program" that solicits murder....
Those who send minors to carry out terror attacks should be held responsible for committing a crime against the Palestinians, for deliberately placing their children in danger, and not only Israel.
Ayyad, who was killed during violent clashes with Israeli soldiers, had even written a will expressing his desire to die as a "martyr."
"I'm happy that God has fulfilled one of my dreams: martyrdom." So much for being an "innocent child."
Palestinian children are brainwashed against Israel from the cradle and are deliberately placed in harm's way, while the UN and the rest of the world look the other way.
The UN members who held an emergency session to discuss the visit by a Jew to the Temple Mount are the biggest hypocrites of all. These supposed purveyors of virtue do not want to acknowledge that the Palestinian recruitment of children as soldiers is the real threat to peace and security, and not a Jew walking on the grounds of a holy site in Jerusalem.
It would have been better for the UN and all those who rushed to condemn Ben-Gvir's visit had they called an emergency session to see why Palestinian children are being sent by their own people to die in clashes with the Israeli army.
It would also have been better had the UN held a special session to discuss the Palestinian leadership's responsibility for its ongoing incitement against Israel and encouraging minors to seek death as "martyrs."
The blood of the next Palestinian child killed in battle will be on the hands of the liars in the corridors of the UN and the offices of major newspapers around the world, which continue to ignore Palestinian atrocities against their own people.
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) was quick to hold an emergency session on January 5 because a Jew dared to walk on the holiest site in Judaism, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Two days earlier, that Jew, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's National Security Minister, had made a quiet, 13-minute tour of the site.
Although Jews visiting the Temple Mount are often harassed, threatened and sometimes physically attacked by Muslims, Ben-Gvir's brief tour ended peacefully and no violent incidents were reported by either Muslims or Jews. Still, the Palestinians and some countries, dubbing the visit a "dangerous and unprecedented provocation," continued to condemn Israel over it.
