Seriously though, it isn't as if the Jews haven't used Suicide Tactics, as well.

Back when the Late Menachem Begin, and his Resistance Cell, were fighting British Control over, what was then, Palestine, they undertook Suicide Missions, all the time. The Key Difference, of course, is that they had at least some possibility, of some of them, actually coming back Alive!

You contradict yourself. If there were high chances to get killed, then it's a very dangerous mission, not a suicide one.

It is worth remembering that in those two camps in Lebanon (I won`t attempt to spell them) where thousands were murdered there were two groups of children that are often cited. One was a cadets group - basic military training and the like - the other was a band. None of the band survived the killings but most of the cadets did. Since then the argument has followed, and given the history it is hard to argue against, that it is an imperative that all children are taught the basic skills that they may need to survive in a similar situation.
Worth bearing in mind we can`t judge them on our standards whenthey have been through so much.

They're not only taught to defend themselves, but to hate the children of the pigs and the monkeys(Jews) and to kill them when they can etc etc.

Precisely, the only Useful, and not Incidently Non-War Crime, Suicide Mission, is one in which your Projected Survival Rate, is somewhere between 25% and 50%, for example.

This way you preserve, at least some, of the Effort, that goes into Training, Good Infiltration Troops.

That, and it's a lot easier, to get People, to Actually Volunteer for them!

No.
Suicide is suicide. A Palestinian bomber knows that he will die, a soldier that goes on a dangerous mission knows that it is a risky one but plans and hopes to survive.
Even if there is only 1% chance for the mission to suceed, the soldier will still hope that they are good enough to suceed and survie.

Eli, you've never been in a Full-Fledged War, have you?

On average, the casualty rate in a World War II infantry division assured that all a division's riflemen would be killed off in a year or two of combat.

With, at least, a Dead Reckoning of such a Statistic, constantly in the back of their minds, a Soldier would often consider a Moderate Wound, which sent them Home, without too much Permanant Damage, to be their Best, Alternative. Is it any Wonder, that given the chance, they would Volunteer for a possible Suicide Mission, if its Successful Completion, was worth a Guaranteed, One-Way Ticket, Back to their Families?

a) they haven't - they planted bombs.

b) they used it against non-civilian targets - that's the exact difference between terror and freedom fighting. King David Hotel was a Brittish Central Command at the time.

Then it's not a suicide mission

There's a difference between teaching children self-defense - and teaching them that "martyrdom for palestine is holy and is the only honorable thing" and "those children of satan, the jews, must be slain".


Furthermore, I would like to mention another thing.

IDF allows kids to go to a week's worth of military training in the 11th grade, so that they will be better mentally prepared for service a year or two later.

The first lesson we had was about rules of war, and illegal orders. We were given famous examples of illegal orders given in Israel, and we discussed them and what should have been done.

Then there was a lesson about the IDF's purity of arms - not hurting civilians and unarmed enemies. We were given examples how Israeli medics treated those people which attacked them a minute before, and how IDF troops, who were tricked by civilians and lead into an ambush, never took revenge on the civilians, even out of rage.

How many civilians were killed in that bombing?



I do think that we should clearly descriminate between attacks targeted at civilians as clearly acts of terror and beyound justification.
A close second is that of deliberate carelessness in regard to civilian safety with the other sides people. This is also terrorism dressed up as the third option.
Third is the unfortunate casualties that occur in such actions deeply regretted - whoever is the victim - and actively avoided by the protagonist.

The unfortunate nature of war is that it is brutal, and few take the real considerations of the unfortunates caught between the opposing sides with any real seriousness. platitudes and empty words backed by the resumption of the same tactics or tough as it is articulated in the school yard.

You are absolutely correct about the substance of much of what these children are being taught. And i do not doubt the sincerety of the Israeli army teaching, rules of engagement, and its conduct as a whole (I say as a whole because no army is perfect each has its malcontents).

The problem and the point that I was getting at is that things have happened and a desperate situation exists that allows or even makes it an imperative that these children get some kind of training (with the brainwashing thrown in for free).

Nothing happens in isolation, and the Palestinians have learnt as the Israeli`s have that when it comes to the crunch you can really only count on yourselves. The only difference being the Palestinians have world class F@ck ups as their leaders (the sooner the have elections the better).

[Sirotnikov]

I consider the King David bombing as the 3rd option.

Why?

Because the Jewish group called the King David hotel administration, and warned them about the bomb, nearly an hour before it was supposed to go off.

The Brits decided to ignore it, both because they thought it was a bluff, and when it exploded it did bad PR to the Jews.

training (with the brainwashing thrown in for free)

That's the whole difference.

In IDF you get brainwashed to do the right thing, and if you crime, and you are discovered, you will sit in jail.

Did you know that ~20 people are now in Jail following complaints about stealing and razing done in Ramallah, in Defensive Shield?

[Sirotnikov]

And the translation of the song of the little girl is very unclear, and i didn't any orginal documents...

Reality, misinformation or exageration ?

Look, the FOX report clearly said it consulted with Muslim and Arab professionals who confirmed the content of the tape.

Then you'll notice that lot of example of anti-semit teaching are the same. In fact this is far from an anti-jew brain-washing program, as I feared when I read this thread.

I'm not sure what are you saying.

The point is, they aren't just saying "let's resist the occupation"

They are saying : "Hamas & Juhad are cool. They should be every boy and girl's dream."

Whatever, this case is about 2 years old...

Now , imagine that this was a time when Arafat was "comitted to peace".

And it has only gone downhill since.

Mr. Fun,

According to what I've read about Islam, the religion is against seperation of church and state in the sense that it calls for state-sanctioned moral values on issues such as homosexuality - isn't that a problem to you? You might want to start another thread.

That sounds a bit like the dilemma faced by the bleeding hearts in Australia when it came to light that rape was widespread in aboriginal communities When misdeeds are committed by one minority group against another, they say that we can't judge others by our moral standards.

So, when does something wrong become morally acceptable?? When it's committed all the time?
