"We the children, in small groups and in civilian clothes, are fulfilling missions of support for the [Hamas] Resistance fighters, by transmitting messages about the movements of the enemy forces, or by bringing them ammunition and food." A report from Palestinian Media Watch:
[...] The following is the description of the children's combat support roles, quoted in an Israeli Arab weekly:"[The newspaper] Kul Al-Arab called many Gaza Strip residents, to comprehend the situation of the people who are suffering for two weeks from the wild Israeli aggression...Khaled, from A-Rimal [in Gaza], said: 'We the children, in small groups and in civilian clothes, are fulfilling missions of support for the [Hamas] Resistance fighters, by transmitting messages about the movements of the enemy forces, or by bringing them ammunition and food. We ourselves are not aware of the movements of the Resistance fighters. We see them in one place, they suddenly disappear, and then reappear somewhere else. They are like ghosts, it is very hard to find them or hurt them.'"
[Kul-Al-Arab (Israeli Arab weekly), January 9, 2009]
The hammas using their children as soldiers, l guess in the videos of their parading children with toy guns, and now its paying off with real guns. lessons they learned from the hitler youths.

"“...all infidels are but one nation...This war must be considered purely a religious and national war. Let all the faithful, rich or poor, great or little, know, that to fight is a duty with us; let them then refrain from thinking of arrears, or of pay of any kind; far from such considerations, let us sacrifice our property and our persons; let us execute zealously the duties which the honor of Islamism imposes on us -- let us unite our efforts, and labor, body and soul, for the support of religion, until the day of judgment. Mussulmen have no other means of working out salvation in this world and the next.”"

They might have cell-phones, their saudi kings might have diamond-encrusted cars, they might use the internet for their jihad; they use weapons created by infidels, which muslims would never have had the capability to invent...
But their thinking, their mindset, their cowardice, their lack of decency, their deranged self-righteousness, their inability to set any boundaries when it comes to supposedly executing the will of their allah (the imaginary) are exactly as they've always been since islam was invented.
I am against all Jihads but children have helped out in many battles. Take the resistance in the Warsaw ghetto
But Muslims take this tradition and use it 100x more and use it cynically and with little regard for the child's life. Because if he dies in jihad he gets into allah's fake heaven immediately. No judgement
I thought Hamas were the good guys?

You've got to give them credit for being quite brave - unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. Whenever the 'conflict' is in the media there is not one mention of Islam being involved at all; it really ticks me off.
Couple of things: First, it says more about Israel, that there exists such a newspaper, an Arab weekly, for Pete's sake, than the article within says about the children and their "support roles". What a horrible state Israel is, and how bigotted and genocidal, right?
/sarc.
Second, the use of women and children in support roles during a war is nothing new. During the War of Northern Aggression (wink, wink) the Confedracy, starved for manpower, weapons, ammunition, etc. did the same thing. There were women who nursed, of course, but there were also groups of women who melted lead and molded it for ammo, to be sent to the frontlines. Children, boys mostly, but also the occasional girl (posing as a boy), ran away from home to serve their Confederate army.
Of course, the "Palestinians" are the aggressors, in this case, and their lust for the ground of Israel is absurd, (with all the godforsaken desert, all around, surely they could find another sandbox to play in). And, this "we the children" crap is just propaganda, to make us all think the women and children of Gaza have volunteered to be human shields, as well as supporting in other roles.
If the "we the children" garbage were the truth, I would not be impressed. As I said, it's nothing new. If it's a lie (and, it almost surely is), I'm not surprised.
They've done it ass-backwards. They should have, before using their most vulnerable citizens as human shields, have put out this propaganda about their victims' willingness to participate in the war.
But, that's "Palestine". No foresight, no credibility, no logic.
We see them in one place, they suddenly disappear, and then reappear somewhere else. They are like ghosts, it is very hard to find them or hurt them...
Helpful Military intelligence. Maybe one of the keys is to talk to these children...they probably know where most tunnels are. Then, take them out of the war zone.
"They [the children] are like ghosts, it is very hard to find them or hurt them."
That's funny. After an Israeli air-strike, it's easy to find some, rip some of their clothes off, smear a little blood on them, tell them to lie still, and present them to the BBC and Reuters cameras as more "victims" of the Israelis.
Islam seems to have no age divisions. For the purposes of jihad, the only exempt are the infirm, crippled and blind, and there may be something they can do.
Total fighting means that everything and anything can and will be used as a weapon.
These children are not brave, they are brainwashed from birth and robotic, most of them have had military training from a long line of terrorist organization, now Hamas.
They have been completely demoralized, Only Allah provides their moral standards as filtered by Hamas.. .
Demoralization of children is worse than child abuse, it is a crime against nature...
A gross injury maybe never healed, an act of black magick against children, evil and depraved.
Unforgivable...Go Israel...
We see them in one place, they suddenly disappear, and then reappear somewhere else. They are like ghosts, it is very hard to find them or hurt them...
Reminds me of the gypsy mugger kids in Rome. They come out of nowhere, mug you, and disappear unless you watch your back and you're ready to assault them.
A field trip from school meant to reinforce their classroom studies.
Hey, I see that "Maria" has posted numerous comments expressing her objections and outrage towards Hamas and what they are doing to children. Go, Maria! / sarc
The IDF takes great care in protecting children and civilians during this defensive action, whereas Hamas is famous for putting them in harms way. Uh, more like using them as useless and disposable instruments of war.
Go IDF!
Only by removing the teaching of Islam itself from these children will the world start to have success against the enemy that is islam.
Israel should add this requirement to it's call for unconditional surrender of Hamas.
Turkish troops will be under the control of the Turkish government. The present Turkish government is intent on whipping up antisemitism, as it has shown in thought, word, and non-deed, the last in its vicious refusal to prevent the frightening threats, the Kristallnacht-like behavior, of some Muslims in Turkey toward its tiny group of remaining Jews -- see here: http://www.newenglishreview.org/blog_display.cfm/blog_id/18948. Furthermore, Turkish troops in Gaza would be subject to every Arab blandishment, and even if initially the troops were to be sturdily, Kemalistically, impervious, they would as Muslims likely find their sympathies whipped up by the local Arabs, so well-versed in the arts of propaganda, and of fake victimhood, that one might find those troops becoming the shock troops, within the Turkish army, of an Islamist group or groupuscule that might well undercut that army as the protector, the last bastion, of Kemalism.
No, it's not a good idea to have Turkish or most other Muslim troops. If there were to be such troops -- and why should not Israel itself police the Philadelphi Corridor, since it is Israeli lives that are at stake -- would have to be troops from a non-Muslim country, but thoroughly sober and incorruptible, unlikely to fall for the blandishments of the locals.
