The Palestinians' Child Soldiers Are Their Most Dangerous Threat

(Ha'aretz) Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Amiram Levin - Palestinians have been successfully using "child soldiers" as a tool since the 1970s to promote anti-Israel propaganda and earn the favor of the West. It is a wicked and cynical modus operandi that works perfectly. We are talking about the cruel use of children in a prolonged, cynical, no-holds-barred campaign of psychological warfare. Through it, the Palestinians cause us to doubt the justice of our path, to fight terror with our hands tied, to explain and to apologize to the world, and to turn our allies into our adversaries. They take advantage of our natural compassion, and that of every civilized society, toward children and turn it into power, and we are supposed to apologize for being the only country in the world where every new house or apartment contains a blast-resistant "safe room" and which spends huge sums on the Iron Dome anti-missile system. The time has come to expose the Palestinians' strategy of using children, to document it and to turn this weapon against them. The writer served as head of the IDF Northern Command.
