Palestinians: Stop the Children's Intifada

(Gatestone Institute) Khaled Abu Toameh - Hamas, Fatah and other Palestinian groups are using children from east Jerusalem and the West Bank in what appears to be a new intifada against Israel. These children are being sent to throw stones and firebombs, and launch fireworks at policemen and IDF soldiers, as well as at Israeli civilians and vehicles, including buses and the light rail in Jerusalem. Human rights groups and UN institutions have chosen to turn a blind eye to the exploitation of children in the fight against Israel. These children are victims of a campaign of indoctrination and incitement being waged by Hamas and Fatah. There are also reports that Fatah and Hamas activists in Jerusalem have been paying children to throw stones and firebombs at Israelis. The time has come for the international community and media to demand that Palestinian groups stop hiding behind children.
