What kind of person would want this small child to throw rocks at Israeli soldiers?
The photo is not from the current conflict, but someone wants it to be.
We have dealt many times with the issue of promoting children to throw rocks at Israeli soldiers.
It was one of the reasons there was such an uproar when Bassem Tamimi appeared before third graders in Ithaca, NY, and advocated the children become “freedom fighters for Palestine.”
It’s also one of the dramatic aspects of the current violence — whether called an “Intifada” or not. Young children and teens are pushed to the front or take it on themselves to attack.
Like the 16 year old who stabbed two elderly Jews in Jerusalem and went after police before he was shot dead:
Then I saw this tweet.
My heart sank. What kind of person sends such a small child out to do the fighting. And what kind of person brags about it on Twitter?
Then I did an image search. As with much Pallywood fakery, it’s not from the current violence.
It was posted on Twitter at least as far back as mid-September. I don’t know where the photo is from. Maybe is it a confrontation with Israeli soldiers at sometime in the past, but it’s not current.
I appears that the photo might be from Kurdistan.
(Update 1-23-2017 – The image may be from Kafr Qaddoum 15-5-2015)
I don’t know what is worse, that someone so hates Israel he would fake a photo to make it seem that this child is participating in the current hostilities, or that he would want it to be so.
Update 10-21-2015 – Arab-American leader loves the fake photo, and using children to confront police:

A Muslim. They believe in training up the child the way he should go. The Koran tells them to kill the Jews and Christians. If he doesn’t have a road to Damascus moment, like some ISIS guys are alleged to be having, he will hate Jews and Christians for the rest of his life. It is Koranic training that makes him rip the crosses off the wall of his school in Italy, reputedly a Christisn country. It is Koranic training that makes him, a “refugee'” in a Christian country, beat up a Christian girl and rip the cross from its chain around her neck. Finally, it is Koranic training that makes him pick up a stone to fire at Jews so he can kill them with whatever means at his disposal.
If you will not accept that, then you have not begin to consider what it means to have Muslims amongst you.
This person doesn’t hate Israel at all. This is all just for politics.
He wants other people to hate Israel.
Sammy, if he loved Israel, why would he want other people to hate Israel? If he hated Israel, he would want other people to hate Israel. Who hates Israel, Sammy? Muslims, anti-Zionists of all stripes. WH loves Israel, Sammy? Zionist Jews and Christians, and the odd Zionist Muslim.
I love you, Sammy, but I think you are a Democrat because logic is alien to you,
I didn’t say he loved Isral. The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.
Yes, if someone hated Israel he would want other people to hate Israel, but there can be other causes as well.
It’s a false syllogism.
This is the fallacy of undistributed middle.

If he sees this as a route to political power and/or money, he could also want people to hate Israel without hating Israel himself and that’s the way it’s most likely to be. If he doesn’t hate Israel himself, he can be more effective in getting other people to hate Israel. His emotions don’t govern him.
He, or his sponsor, might even be someone who just wants to stir up trouble. Or might have more practical reasons to want to destroy or harm Israel. I believe there are practical reasons involved here, not emotion.
And he wants Israelis to hate Arabs, and have no concern even for children.
I’m in love. Whoever the guy is in this vid, if you know him, tell him I love him.

When innocent children are placed into situations anywhere for a singular purpose of promoting violent agendas and aggressively acting out hostile actions in the name of “peaceful activism”, it is just down right evil.
When the same messages are being promoted locally as was done in a Ithaca, NY public elementary school with oversight of faculty and administrator, they are just as guilty of promoting evil. You do not have to go to any of the named terrorist strong holds in the middle eastern countries to find the roots of the cause, their hiding out in your kids classroom posed as teacher, principal and guest speaker.
“It was one of the reasons there was such an uproar when Bassem Tamimi appeared before third graders in Ithaca, NY, and advocated the children become “freedom fighters for Palestine.”
Arabs would happily face their own extinction of it meant the death of Jews. That’s who.
Perhaps the conditioning is the same as it has always been, but now we are seeing reporting on it. I’m concerned at the seeds being planted by our enemies.
The use of kids below the age of 12 and sometimes as young as 6 or 7 to carry out executions and other attacks tells me that in 10-20 years, there will be a very large slice of the middle east that is so completely sociopathic that a lot of blood will be shed to take these people down.
The current generation of killers are vicious beyond comprehension with a much lower level of indoctrination for violence. Look closely at your own 7 year old son/grandson, nephew. He will be sent to right this unbalanced equation either on our soil or theirs.
We already know these seeds are being sown in Europe. If we don’t take action on our immigration policy, they will arrive here in large numbers as well.
Large numbers will die by violence before this gets corrected. Large numbers will die by violence correcting it. Net net- I only see peace through strength and discipline for us in the coming decades.
At the bottom of the totem pole definitely, you’ll probably find somebody like that, but the higher up you go, the less they probbly actually hate.
This is all being done by cynics, not haters. Liars, and not people who beleive those lies. Now there can be a few top level haters, but even they are probably motivated by considerations quite different from what they articulate.
Actually, yes. If not Israel, Jews. But the WH also makes policy based on wishful thinking. If the WH was malevolent, the policy would be something quite different.
What are trying to say? That the WH is hiding its hatred? But not hiding it that much so that it would let harm to come to Israel??
If someone is hiding hatred of Israel, they are going to hide it a lot more.
Love Israel, I suppose you mean.
When you have too few facts, Occam’s Razor gives you the wtong conclusion.
I am a registered Democrat, but I don’t like much of the Democratic Party and have rarely voted for Democrats – the last one I half liked was Senator Moynihan. (Moynihan didn’t do anything. He was also too enamored of political bosses.)
Paul Krugman said today Republicans (like Paul Ryan) don’t have solutions, just magic asterisks. Democrats don’t even seriously pretend to have solutions, just goals – although sometimes they ahve grandiose efforts (like on reducing carbon dioxide levels or local pollution in the atmosphere – or infrastructure) at solving non-problems, that don’t actually even pretend to solve them, but only to be steps in the right direction.
