You claim it is a real gun. Cite your proof. Scroll down and look at the Gaza kid holding the AK-47. Uhhh, does that lookike a "wooden gun" to you?

with explosives, and indocrinated that it is the greatest virtue to die as a "Shahid" killing as many Israelis as possible. Do they teach that to Israeli youths at the camp in Gush Etzion, oh dishonest Oded?

Moral Equivalency without thought. As if the Hamas' government's sponsoring a terrorist training camp for kids is the same a settler's training kids for self-defense.

As many readers have pointed out there is NO MORAL EQUIVALENCY between the the two situations at all. They are not even comparable.One may look upon the seemingly isolated case in Israel with distaste if you wish, but the indoctrination of hatred and terror methods taking place on an institutional level in Gaza is lethal to peace prospects and potential targets. I simply cannot believe this drivel, which is dangerous in so may ways passed editorial scrutiny-- has Ynet gone mad?

is terrorism and against international law. You or any other terror apologist cannot excuse what Hamas indoctrinates in children - how to hate and murder innocent Israelis. Your immoral comparison is sickening as is your attempt to justify Hamas and other Iranian regime terror puppets.

The Israeli right and Palestinian groups are using wargames to indoctrinate their children with their specific beliefs and to dehumanise the enemy in their children eyes. Both sides have astrong interest in keeping the conflict alive and indoctrinate their kids accordingly...and it is always the other sides fault!

Nothing in the article was exaggerated, it is exactly like this, both sides teach hate ,both sides say it for defence, both sides indoctrinates, their children and both sides are totally wrong. To use children ,be it with plastic toys or not is morally wrong.

draw a parallel between palestinian and israeli relationship to the other. Israel has been defending itself against regular and asymetric warfare from day 1 of its existence. It threatens no other country or nation with annihilation and has made countless efforts to secure peace. The palestinian arabs are breastfed the deepest hatred of israelis, justifying the killing of any jew on the other side of the border. If the palestinians stopped brainwashing their children today, it will still take 20 years before any substantial number of palestinians is able to think in terms of peace with Israel.

Dagan - this is a foolish remark on your behalf when you consider that ALL Israeli children are prepared for war. Yours is a nation of soldiers. Every child knows they will grow up to be one, or face the consequences of a refusnik

Israel always excells in ignoring the dark side of it's policies......it's not ok for kids to be taught hatred at very young ages. And it really doesn't matter if the kids are jewish or arab.

"stealing/occupying someone else's land a crime". So when are YOU packing up and leaving? After all, according to your "palestinian" colleagues, ALL of Israel, including Tel Aviv, is stolen land. But hey, if it isn't Judah, Samaria, Jerusalem and the Golan, it isn't stolen, right?

The most painful documentary for me to watch was a nazi - shot a 2-4 years kid while he was holding his Jewish mother leg! I'm still feeling the pain even having a thought of that scene!!

Jewish day school? I think you mean Islamic day school...

Both societies teach their kids to hate, which is a by-product of the conflict. The hate on the Jewish side is much deeper, though: 1.It extends to all Goyim, with temporary omission of those that we use against other Goyim. 2. It's origins precede this conflict and rely on Talmudic hate propaganda ("hatov shebagoyim..."). 3. I have seen this hate prevailing among the Jewish Orthodox in the US, even against their extremely hospitable gentile neighbors. There it manifest itself as the willingness to deceive.

Be honest now. Have you heard of a summer camp for Jewish kids, where young children are taught the virtues of "martrydom" and shown how to strap on an explosives vest and become a suicide bomber?

Self hating Israeli

You have to be a tremendous schmuck to not see the fundamental difference between the two cultures.

Some might say - not me, you understand - that Israeli kids have no need to become suicide bombers. They just join the army and ...... well, I am sure you can imagine the rest of the argument.

#47 Jake. if you had read my posts correctly you would have read that I was talking about both sides, both sides put into the kids heads on how to hate the other side,I myself have seen small Jewish kids kicking little Arab girls who were going home after school, the girls continue to walk and did nothing in return, so I ask you who put into these smalll kids heads that they have the right to do this?? so you see, when I say the both sides, Imean both sides, and there is no justification for any side to use kids as a tool.

ORDED ,YOU SHOULD FOLLOW YOUR TWISTED LOGIC TO ITS CONCLUSION AND GO AND LIVE IN GAZA.IF IT SUITS YOU WORK FOR AN NGO THERE .THAT WOULD SUIT YOU PERFECTLY.IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE THEN YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE

It is the arabs who stole the area in the Muslim Conquest, then tried again in 1948, 1967, etc. They are the occupiers and land thieves. Read some history before you post Also read post #35. Show us how smart you are, not how dumb you are.

These kids will grow to be men who are disliked by Israel. The conflict will be on for the next tens of years.

I am sorry to say that because of your refusal to accept Israel, your refusal to negotiate, your insistence on getting exactly everything you want as if you are children, your insistence on blaming others for the hardship you bring on yourselves, it will be going on for much longer than tens of years. And the party to blame is yourselves, but you blind yourselves to the truth. Pity.

like Haaretz.

and the neighbours don't want peace, the one with Egypt was suppose to entrust more safty to Israelies there r only three Israelies in Egypt today, one is the Israeli ambasador the other two r his body guards.

the meaning of the name A'aza is the Bad place. like the famous saying "from Az came sweet" meaning from bad situation came something good, there is a very good reason y that place is called the bad place. the place is literally cursed. if you were native you would have known that simple fact.

but militery service else where start at age 18. you brits and your private military schools for boys. baaa discusting.
