The IDF says they found this picture of a toddler dressed up as a suicide attacker.

The family of the baby says that it was a joke done during a party:
[quote]
"The photograph was taken some time ago at a party when someone dressed up the cutest baby as a suicide bomber," a relative said.[\quote]

Is this for real or is the photo a fake like the PA claim?

If the family is telling the truth, then the Pals have hit a new low.

Who in their right mind dresses up a baby as suicide attacker as a joke or a game during a party?

There is no reason to doubt this picture. We all know what education Palestinians get.

[Lorizael]

It's comments like that, Eli, that make peace impossible. You assume that all Palestinians hate you and your people personally. And that's not true.

You assume that every Palestinian teaches their children that murder is a good thing. That's not true.

Both sides must trust the other before peace can be achieved. You have to stop making assumptions. The Israelis and Palestinians cannot hate each other just because the other hates them back.

Never ending death!

But that is a pretty tasteless joke...

I hope you were being sarcastic, Eli.

Here is an article from BBC on the same story.

Aww, that kid does look awfully cute...

I heard that they have "summer camp" for suicide bombers. True?

Call me cynical, but the words "Israeli propaganda" spring to mind...

Then again when you're dealing with fanatical psychopaths you can't rule out anything...

Are Pals not allowed to have humor nowadays? I, for one, think it's ingeniously funny.

[Kropotkin]

It might of cource be propaganda but I wouldn't doubt that it could or have happend. There's a lot of stupid parents on this globe that does this kind of thing. I've seen pictures of children i every damn uniform one can think of by know. Some more disgusting than the rest.

I've seen children around my block dressed in T-shirts with a policeuniform-print on lately. Not good for my paranoia.

I think the photo is kinda funny too. The reaction is even funnier though.

When i grow up, i wanna be dead.

There is nothing funny about that picture! Dressing up your baby as a murderer is not good humor. That pic is absolutely revolting, if you ask me.

I have an odd sense of humor. Plus I'm pretty cold and heartless. You just don't like the idea of people having different views than you.

I have no problem with people with different views. You'll just forgive me for not accepting views that involve the indiscriminate killing of civilians.
