There will be peace when the Arabs love their own children more than they hate ours.

Palestinian Lobbyist Moammar Mashni writes in ABC's The Dumb:

According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), "as of 1 October, 164 Palestinians under 18 year of age were detained by Israeli authorities, most of them under charges of stone throwing". Yet these children did not rate a mention in the recent prisoner swap that took place in Israel/Palestine – why?

Simple. Because the Palestinians never asked for them.

Mashni should instead ask why the Palestinians not ask for all these alleged "children" when it provided Israel with a list of prisoners, and preferred instead the release of baby killers and murderers.

The answer is simple. Palestinian children being locked up is good propaganda. Just as Palestinian children are encouraged to die for Allah, Palestinian mothers celebrate when their children blow themselves up for Allah. Elsewhere in the Middle East, child slavery and forced marriage of nine year olds (just as Mohammed liked them) continues.

As Golda Meir said, there will be peace only when the Arabs love their own children more than they hate ours.

Mashni continues the myth that the children locked up were merely chucking a few stones. A comment in the piece calls him on his 'taqiyya' (lies):

According to the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers "2004 Global Report on the Use of Child Soldiers", there were at least nine documented suicide attacks involving Palestinian minors between October 2000 and March 2004. According to the Israel Defence Forces from September 2000 through 2003, 29 suicide attacks have been carried out by youth under the age of 18, 22 shootings attacks and attacks using explosive devices were carried out by youth under the age of and more than 40 youths under the age of 18 were involved in attempted suicide bombings that were thwarted.”

Nice kids!
