I haven't heard about this. but if true, that's pretty twisted.

Voted : I feel sick about this.
It's a shame the way they defaced U.S. military property.
I'd imagine this story was in the Arab or Iranian press. I doubt it. First, the Israeli children would have to have been at or close to the front in order to do this, and I doubt the Israeli military or government would permit this, but someone would have had to take the picture inside of Israel and send it to someone who hated Israel. All this seems unlikely. On the other hand, I believe that terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, who have shown no regard for innocent lives by placing rocket launchers in civilian neighborhoods, would definitely engage in this sort of behavior.
I have my doubts as well. The "media" would never allow a picture like that to get out. It must have been an al-Jazeera photo-op.
Yes, I saw the pictures, too ... unfortunate that young minds can also be taught to hate.
Nice unbiased ballot. How about the Lebanese children (most looking under 10 years old) Hezbollah had carrying around artillery shells? How about the palestinians naming their kids Al Qaeda and Hezbollah? How about "Green Helmet" who carried around a dead child for all the cameras. Then when he didn't think the shot of the child being put into the ambulance was bad enough, he had the photographers and filmers record it again. There's enough asinine stupidity to go around for all.
I don't know if these are the pictures I saw but I've seen some much like this.. and some of kids getting just as excited about war and killing as the adults are. It's natural for them to take how we're acting and even magnify it some. That's how group madness works too, the softer someone's mind is the easier they'll jump on the bandwagon, for the sweet sharing feeling it gives :) Did y'all see the pictures of kids jumping up and down all happy over 9/11? The kids look diffrent but they're just kids, not much different from the old Hitler Youth.

"Nice unbiased ballot. How about the Lebanese children (most looking under 10 years old) Hezbollah had carrying around artillery shells?" How about quitting your complaining and making a ballot about it then?Talk about bias,it seems like you invariably justify and/or look past every wrongdoing out of Israel.
Assuming this is true, which I doubt, and not another fabrication (like so many in this anti-Israel propaganda fest otherwise known as the Israel-hezbollah conflict) then those kids were wrong. However, I doubt it happened, and if it did it was likely a handful, nothing like the thousands of arabs who sign up to murder jewish children every day, or the adults who cheer everytime one of their kids gets killed so they can parade him or her around in front of the cameras feigning concern for those useful idiots from the west. And of course, unlike the arab 'military' the israelis tend to keep children away from their military sites because they actually don't want their kids to get blown up.
What's true sounds almost boring compared with what the factions want to believe. The cycle of violence is fed by hate.
Parents have a duty to instill love into the hearts of their children, not hate.
Voted : That's very bad
But remember that these are children, probably only doing what their parents tell them, without much in the way of thought as to the consequences of their actions. How many of us, when we were children and living during a major conflict, paused to consider what was going on in that conflict?
