With an eye toward securing the next generation of combatants in an endless war, the Israeli border police have started a new scheme called “Border Police Youth” which focuses on teaching 16-18 year olds, not quite old enough to be drafted into the Israeli military, to “catch” Palestinians. Oh and arming them to the teeth while they are doing so.
One of the teens, quoted in Haaretz, termed capturing Palestinians “a form of pleasure,” saying that “generally we look for them because they scare children.” No word on if the children were at all scared by the 16 year olds toting machine guns around them.

These teen thugs are to catch Palestinians? For which crime? Isn’t the apartheid barrier not enough to cadge them in? Aren’t the hundreds of checkpoints manned by the sadistic over 18 year old conscripts not enough a hindrance? Are the thousands of rabid armed extremist settlers let loose to harass and even murder them not enough? How much humiliation do the Israelis intend to pile upon the Palestinians?
And the Israeli's always blame the Palestinians for not peace.
Yet another sign of Israel's slow descent into fascism.
Kristalnacht…. without shops…!!!
The New Hitler Youth
Kinder mit machinenpistole, Hitler had them as well, he used them in the last days of the Reich.
Another crime committed by the Israelies, using children under 18 for Para Military activities!
