Palestinians who use children as human shields are heroes in Arab world.

Read this article about Jenin. Can you imagine Israelis using children as human shields. I cant. In the Arab world, these people are Arab Heroes for using children as human shields.

Gordon Thomas Sunday Express, May 2

For the last few days the commanders of the suicide bombers - (It is better to call them homicide bombers for the murders they commit. Suicide is a solitary act. The bombers are mass killers.) - have been exulting over how they fought the battle.

They booby-trapped houses.

They used children, some so young they were barely able to walk, to place school bags filled with explosives in the path of Israeli soldiers.

They made hundreds of pipe bombs and other explosive devices and used women to place them in houses they evacuated.
They buried bombs under the bodies of their dying so that when any attempt was made to assist them by Israeli medics they were injured.

They used women to lure soldiers to their deaths. The thirteen who died in the attack on the Jenin refugee camp on April 9, were enticed there by young women saying it was safe for them to enter - as the PLO fighters had run out of bullets.

These facts are the boasts of:

Jamal Abu Al-Hija, the commander of the Hamas terror group in Jenin. He fled when the fighting started.

Jamal Huweill, the commander of the homicide bombers in Jenin, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.

Jamal Abu-Al-Salam, commander of the refugee camps.

But for the past days these three men have been roaming the television stations of the Middle East endlessly boasting of how they used women and children as human shields
by forcing them to commit terrorist acts against Israeli troops.

"We believe many more Israelis died than the 24 they admit to," boasted Al-Salam on a Cairo radio station.

"We badly wounded more than the 130 the Israelis admit to," Al-Hija told the Jordanian Weekly, Al-Sabil.

Day by day this unholy trio of terrorists has been feted as heroes in the Arab world. Hour after hour they exult on radio and television about how they equipped women and children with explosive belts and grenades.

Here is a sample of their words. Abu Al-Hija was speaking to a Jordanian radio station: "We managed to besiege nine Zionists inside one of the houses and attacked them with hand grenades and bombs until the entire house went up in flames with the soldiers
of the occupation inside."

Said Abu Jandal - the self-styled Martyr of Islamic Jihad: "All the fighters are martyrs. Believe me, there were children stationed in the houses with explosive belts at their sides. They had school bags filled with explosives."

Who was right.

Ariel Sharon for sending in young and experienced soldiers into Jenin, to go after the terrorists who were behind the massacres of Israeli civilians? Or the Palestinians who defended the city with old men, women and children whose first words are "kill all Jews"?
