what the hell are the children doing near the fence? Where are the parents? Oh wait, the parents are probably either strapping the explosive belts on them and the rest of the children or preparing to celebrate the "martyrdom" of their children.... when is this nightmare that is over my land going to disappear....

Yeah, right. They were collecting aluminum and iron to sell so they could buy an ice cream. Don't you know children can plant explosives, use an AK-47 and slit your throat? Still, I doubt they were children. But if so.......

It's horrible, when kids pay the price of the foolishness of adults. On the other hand, if the Palis don't want for these accidents to happen, let them provide exact co-ordinates for the locations of cells and Qassam launchers. Maybe they'll exchange that information for all that scrap from Sderot, and their kids won't have to take chances along fences. Considering most of their convoluted logic, this makes perfect Pali sense to me.

publish the translated version of this: http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3407332,00.html An expression o the true spirit of Israel and Israelis/Jews who manage to prevail through the centuries of crap. as to the children killed - any war is a tragedy. if people who claim to be "objective" can find justification for suicide bombers they should be able to understand where these casualties come from. If Haniyeh would use his financial aid in de-occupied Gaza for the benefit of his people and pursued cease-fire, these kids wouldn't need to risk their lives looking for scrap metal and Israeli soldiers wouldn't have their fingers so light on the triggers.

watch all the haters dance on these poor kids' blood.

...The Palestinians claimed that the children were looking for aluminum and iron in order to sell them in the market... *** NOW ! WHAT TO TELL ! HAMAS ! YOU FIND MONEY FOR ROCKETS. BUT, YOUR DONT FEED YOUR CHILDREEN. *** IF I USE ANY DIRTY WORD, THIS WONT PUBLISH. WHAT TO TELL TO EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS ! *** KILLING CHILDREEN IS TOO DIRTY. TOO DIRTY. THE REASON I AM F....G HERE. *** WHO RIGHT ? WHO WRONG ? I AM ONLY INTEREST ALL CHILDREEN ALIVE. F..K ALL TERRORISM. Atilla Liman Karagözoğlu

The IDF says they were 17 and 18 years old. As if they know their age. It's the same every time children are killed: the IDF "opened fire at terrorists" and "identified hitting some of them". And in many cases, children get actually killed. The IDF should stop playing this game and just admit that they don't know at who they fired, and that it is very possible that children got hit. It's simple, not a lie, and this avoids the impression that the IDF is somehow trying to cover things up.

Sick,sick people - I'm so grateful I live nowhere near these scum. No sympathy whatsoever.

I would like to amend the second part of my post which I, foolishly, failed to think through. I'm sure, the Palis would accuse Israel of denying Hamas as the rightful owners of that scrap metal and demand a UN resolution to have it returned immediately, shipping and handling to be charged to the people of Sderot.

17 and 18 year olds are not considered children anymore , they are adults .........

manufacture qassam. So what is wrong that they died ? Stopped by soldiers they refused.

Kill them first. They were either being lookouts, planting the explosives themselves, and/or being human shields and I bet so willingily with their parents claiming they will be "great martyrs". Oh for the days wars were fought the way they should be fought...like carpet bombing without mercy. You win a war by a willingness to do so ruthlessly. Wars are not to be neat, clean, humanitarian, or surgical. Fighting a war in such a way can result in losing it or causing more death and destruction to your own people. Our enemies fight ruthless and don't obey any rules...neither should we and we never should have. If they had been wiped off the map in the 1967 war, there would have been fewer Israeli deaths today.

keeping the poor children away from the fence? Hell, they probably sent them to the fence.

Either the parents are negligent, the parents don't care about their little jihadis, or the "Palestinians" are simply lying again- for a change.

Atilla has a big heart! I feel his pain!

Yet just this week, a van full of disabled children traveling to Ashkelon was struck by a Kassam missle. One wheelchair bound child died from his wounds , all the other children and the driver were injured as well. Not even one Israeli newspaper expects the JPost has even bothered to report this tragic story.

i see them only to give flowers to the zionist soldiers and the zionst shoot them for no reason believe me, where is bbc when you need one, let afendi jonston from the bbc go free, he will tell the story better, wallahe. you only kill shildren bilbilbilbilbil and nothing else, why, yaani lesh

over and over. Israeli media's use of words like "claimed" and "assumed" and then later "proven to be"... "In a number of incidents, Palestinians also reported that IDF soldiers were killed or injured, but these reported were also proven to be false" Aha...um, who exactly reported? Who exactly disproved these reports? In other words, what this "objective" and "unbiased" reporter is saying is basically: "oh, it's unfortunate the kids died, but where were their parents. so sad, but what the hell were they doing there? oh its too bad, but anyway they all lie. drat it, sorry those poor bastards died, but they would have been suicide bombers anyway, weren't they anyway, entre parenthese, "collecting building material"? hint hint hint Sheesh - any intelligent person can see through this mediocre and biased reporting. It's no surprise you get all these talkbacks. the same trend, the same cycle, propagated over and over... you should see the photographic artwork of jon elmer, then tell me what you think about the reality on the ground. but at least for god's sake be objective

by IDF on their parents. This is rediculous!!!!!!!!! If u send your childern to school and on the way they get killed u r not going to blame your seif...are u??????????

Thats a not so uncommon thing with the israeli forces ... they always shoot innocent Palestinian kids ... they probably believe it will wash away their sins!

cant even feed the PA Children and they want to Represent the PA's. Look ! those children are probably orphaned and looking for means to buy food as reported. It is unfortunate they were shot, it is clear the scene was a resonable suspicious scene.Any resonable man in the uniform would have shot them. IT unfortunate these children have to suffer so much for the WICKED OPPRESSION of the Hamas and Fatah Bastards who cant provide food and water for these children ! What kind of Parents are these PA's. ? Why do they have children if they cant provide them FOOD and HOME. I tell you, better the IDF give these PA TERRORIST a maximum " F". This world is full of Food and these children have no food ? -That they have to go to steal aluminum and iron to sell in the market to buy food . UN ! OPEN a FREE BREAD FACTORY ! The UN RADHIKA COOMARASWAMY, may you see now of your stupid remark at teh children camp- those PA children at least are well fed in detention camps .Isarel provides more comfort then these PA GAZA TERRORIST Parents In the surrounding circumstances of terrorist activity it is a necessary evil to shoot towards the suspicious movements. I am very HURT and it is Paining to see these children shot dead in these militant subersive terror. It is justified, the IDF should STAY ALERT and continue to blast the Gaza TERRORIST who negelect their Children for their BLOOD THIRSTY EVIL led by their Haniyeh and ABBAS. Those bunch of Politician of Gaza Extremist. I am very HURT to see the 8 years and 11 years old children looking for building material to sell them to buy food.

you palis said: Palestinians report two 8 and 11-year-old children.... LOOK. YOU PALIS, TEACH CHILDREN TO HATE, ANTISEMITISM, CALL FOR DESTRUCTION, USE THEM AS HUMAN SHIELDS, READING THEM MEIN KAMPFF IN ARABIC, USING MICKEY MOUSE PROPAGANDA, INCITING GENOCIDE, HOLOCAUST AND DESTRUCTION. NO WONDER, WILL YOU USE two 8 and 11-year-old children.... LONG LIVE ISRAEL

considering how the government has them under a "restraint" policy. It's well known that Palestinian society regards its children as expendable soldiers. Just look at pictures of pre-school children with suicide bomber costumes on them. It is possible that youngsters are used deliberately because of their age to carry out operations, since they expect the Israelis to hesitate to either shoot or arrest them. This is a well-known strategy. Maybe things are changing now. If so, the Palestinians will use every injury, every casualty, to feed their PR machine. I too feel sorry for kids because they have been brainwashed, deprived of a normal upbringing, told instead that their greatest goal is to become a martyr. What kind of society are these kids expected to build? A state named Palestine living in peace with its neighbors, law abiding, democratic and compassionate? Not a chance. IDF, just carry on doing your job and disregard all criticism. Those who criticize Israel for defending itself don't do it out of sympathy for Israel's enemy but out of hatred for the Jews. There are lots of victims that simply do not exist for those armchair humanitarians. They seem to reserve their greatest, if not their only, reserve of compassion for those who attack the Jews of Israel.

Your heads are buried so far up your a** that you can't even have sympathy for your own Palestinian children. It is beyond my mind how your society does NOT value human life...sending kids to do this is basically telling them to kill themselves. You know it, yet it is nothing to you. We saw the same thing last summer in Lebabon where weapons were stored in bedrooms full of kids and women so that when the IDF destroyed the Ketushyas, Hezbollah would cry foul. We have sympathy for all children, shame on you for not loving your own!!!

Are you cowering in a bunker somewhere while the Lebanese army pounds your ass?
