Not guilty. The Israeli captain who emptied his rifle into a Palestinian schoolgirl

[Jinentonix]

This is not about transcripts it is really about two sides from time to time in a war zone
where any movement can constitute deadly action.
My father told me years ago when they were in Germany mopping up in WWII that if they
came across enemy that were surrendering they had to be very careful and if it was a
group of older guys they were more relaxed.

Generally speaking the Wermacht soldiers would surrender honourably. It was the SS units the Allied soldiers had to be careful of.
One of my favourite stories was when US troops reached Cherbourg. Before a shot was fired the American commander demanded the surrender of the German forces within the fortress. The German commander stepped out and announced that they would surrender but if the Americans would be so kind as to fire a few rounds at the fortress then they could surrender in good conscience having at least been fired upon. The Americans agreed, obliged him with a few tank rounds at the fortress walls and out came the Germans, suitcases and such all packed up and ready to go like they were going on vacation.
Of course being good soldiers, they had wrecked the harbor rendering it useless to the Allies when they saw the Americans approaching the city with nothing between them and Cherbourg to stop them.

Yet on average since 2000, 1 of every 5 suicide bombers has been under 18. Not that it excuses the goof for emptying his entire magazine into the kid. The kids aren't exactly willing volunteers although they are indoctrinated pretty young. Some years ago in Gaza, martyr sticker albums were all the "rage". Kids would collect stickers of the latest martyrs and put them in sticker books in various backgrounds like clouds
No, I doubt there is a cure for anybody who sees children as a viable delivery method for a suicide bombing and yet here were are.
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the Islamic Jihad and Hamas have all openly declared responsibility for recruiting children as suicide bombers. This isn't exactly breaking news either.

As the OP deals with a human act which transends race religion or nationality I would expect intelligent replys which deal with the human element here forgetting entirely, for the moment, any other political baggage this individual might have been induced to pack arround his particular station in life. This kind of person can be found in every culture, is that nurture or nature? I maintain that nature would eventually terminate those individuals showing these capabilities soon after they became evident and for obvious defensive reasons. So perhaps the question is, are these types with these extreme ant-social qualities being cultivated in national military organizations and do they present a definite threat to all others over and above thier assigned targets? Please give us links to the child suicide bombers. I do have an open mind with respect to the employment of pathological evil in national conflict.

Propaganda usually isn't held in reserve, what you should be looking at is things that are hidden rather than not questioning the things that are already out in the open.
aangirfan: JEWS PRETENDING TO BE MOSLEMS OR CHRISTIANS
Why did Mohamed Atta speak Hebrew? (Mohamed Atta loved pork chops, cocaine, hookers ...)

On 21 February 2011, the Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot reported on ten Jews, of Iraqi origin, who were trained to act as Moslems.

The training took part in the mid 1950s.

To improve their cover, the men married Moslem women and produced families.

The men were then sent into Israeli Arab communities, posing as Jews.

The job of these sleeper agents was to spy on the Arabs.

('Your Muslim husband is a Jew' The Australian)

In 1964, the men's wives were flown to Paris to be met by a Mossad officer who told them that their husbands were secretly Jews.

The Mossad station chief told the women they could either join their husbands in a Jewish community, or they could be resettled in an Arab country of their choice.

The women chose to remain with their husbands and so they were converted to Judaism.

"The kids experienced serious trauma. They tried to forget their past, where they came from, but they couldn't."

This was a horrendous act of inhumanity with no redeeming justification.

'Kidnapped' would sort of take away the children as being willing accomplishes would it not??
