Palestinians [are indeed] guilty of turning kids into killers
 
A mealy – mouthed congratulation on publishing the brilliant article 21/2 by Shmuel Ben – Shmuel Palestinians guilty of turning kids into killers.
 
Plainly your outrageous editorial 21/2 Israel trials a new approach is thus reduced to yet another pathetic attempt at defending Israel’s number one antagonist, your John Lyons.

IN SPITE OF THE AMBASSADOR’S WORDS...  BELOW!!!.....
We, like the overwhelming majority of Israelis and fair-minded people everywhere, feel great pain and a sense of sorrow when we see children tragically involved in acts of politically motivated violence. While the issue of incarceration and treatment of minors is being dealt with, we are not seeing a similar level of thought or effort put into investigations concerning the origin of such behaviours. Children are not inherently violent or hateful. This is a learned behaviour.
To comprehensively investigate the health and wellbeing of the children involved in such violent acts, we must acknowledge that these children were, at some point, indoctrinated into this vicious mentality by terrorists and their affiliates.
We must recognise the role of adults in teaching their children to throw rocks as the core reason for these acts. Including, of course, strategic targets and timing in training. Misused by adults and terror organisations in a way contravening international law, utilising children for incitement purposes is criminal. This is the reality and it must stop.
When a minor is coerced into participating in deadly violence, it primarily indicates a lack of discipline, education and a breakdown of the primary support system, his or her family. Unfortunately, the Palestinian society and Authority have embraced and institutionalised a system of hate and violence directed at Israelis.
This system encourages individual acts of violence, whether rock throwing, fire-bomb hurling, drive-by shooting or, in extreme cases, the utilisation of explosives and suicide attacks. This environment is met by, and insulated by, an educational system that does its utmost to erase Israel from the history books.


......LOOK AT THE GENEROSITY OF SPIRIT  BELOW: SEE IN SPITE OF ABOVE!!!
WHY HE IS SO – OVER – GENEROUS TO UNICEF TOO!!!

As stated in the UNICEF paper: “These efforts will build on the work of Palestinian, Israeli and International civil society groups who have been working with the Palestinian population for a number of years to raise awareness with children, families and communities to ensure they are informed of their specific rights when they are detained by the Israeli military.”
Israel stands at a crossroads, a place where no other country has stood before. We represent a patch in the complex tapestry of Middle-Eastern geography.
To simplify and sensationalise our situation, and that of the Middle East, is unhelpful and undermines peace efforts in both a regional and global context.
It is such a shame that we cannot see a more three-dimensional view of the Middle East, instead of the same story regurgitated over many days. Shmuel Ben-Shmuel is Israel’s ambassador to Australia.
