Killing [Palestinian] children is no longer a big deal | Metafilter
Palestinians use their women and children to charge Israeli positions. Israelis use their women and children in the armed forces and for settlement defense. It's terrible to use women and children in armed conflict, but they have a vested interest in the outcome of this as well. Everybody acts like the Palestinian are practically kidnapping their people and forcing them into harm's way, but try to be an Israeli woman and turn down compulsive military service; or a fourteen-year-old boy in a settlement in the gaza strip. Everybody has an interest, so everybody fights. Women in WWII America were used to manufacture arms. That's why they call it war. The total annihiation of the enemy. Well, guess what? The enemy is a race or ideal, which extends just beyond all of the men between the ages of fifteen and forty. Everyone dies. Because one side accuses the other side of being kidnapped as a population by various people. Unfortunately, those people have names like "Jesus" and "Mohammed [MHNBP.]" But they make it sound more like "Adolf Hitler" and "Saddam Hussein." Dammit, we'll kill the [diety] out of you until you figure it out. Yay.

Fuck it
