Over the past couple of years, I have seen many photos out of Reuters, Associated Press, and AFP which depict Palestinian terrorists firing guns and rockets from the midst of a crowd of civilians. In most of these photographs it looks almost as if the terrorist may have crept in and suddenly begun firing before the civilians even knew what was going on.
Or, at least, that was the excuse I used to give them the benefit of the doubt.
However, about a month back, Little Green Footballs ran a post wherein some children were asked why they accompany the terrorists as they fire their weapons:
BEIT LAHIYA, Gaza (Reuters) - A dozen small boys, not yet teenagers, were among relatives gathered at a funeral in Gaza on Friday for a young man killed in clashes between Palestinian militants and Israeli troops.
Asked if they would learn from the death of 19-year-old Mohammed Maher Shahine, killed while watching Thursday’s fighting as Israel stepped up an offensive in the strip, the boys answered almost with one voice.
“No. We want to be martyrs too,” they said, seemingly oblivious to the danger of following around bands of gunmen as they battle more powerful Israeli troops, who are backed by tanks and helicopters.
Now, today, comes what I believe is irrefutable photographic evidence that this is, indeed, true. I do not think there is a snowball's chance in hell these "civilians" were suddenly caught unaware. Clearly, they are willfully withstanding the natural inclination to get out of the way. These are the "brave martyrs" that Islam is so proud of.
Congratulations, cannon fodder. May you all get what you wish for.
