In reply to the discussion: Palestinian Child Soldiers: The Horrifying Silence [View all]
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This is the worst form of anti-Palestinian BS, and this poster does it a lot.
S/he they have had their posts hidden before with this unsubstantiated rumor of child soldiers.
What's worse is that s/he they have used the Elder of Ziyon disinformation before...as fact when it is unsubstantiated BS.
(One humorous note EoZ was banned from DU for inflammatory and unsubstantiated claims...aka lies)
Further more s/he they have used the "Palestinians use children to provoke IDF soldiers" video calling it "Pallywood" ...an offensive term but still goes full bore in describing these kids as being "used" while excusing Israel when it kills children like this.
The last link is unverifiable since it is in a foreign language, but the OP author doesn't care just as long as they can spread hatred of the Palestinians people, and their children, who often wind up dead at the hands of the IDf and an indifferent Israeli population.
This kind of disinformation is sick, and it should not be tolerated.
