Сначала отобрать у людей землю...

[morreth]

Отказать им в социализации внутри себя, "избранных", загнать фактически в гетто, отдав на откуп эсетремистским лидерам... Потом убить кого-то из близких, довести до отчаяния, превратить в террористок-самоубийц... А потом говорить:

"Крайне печально, что в Израиле нет смертной казни. И ведь у этих [censored] хороший шанс выйти на свободу в ближайшие несколько лет. Освободят по очередным соглашениям с ПА (уже так было)".

Выйдут, выйдут, не бойтесь, девушка...

Вопрос ведь не в том, кто прав в арабо-израильском конфликте - обе стороны убивают детей, значит, обе неправы. Вопрос в том, как человек со стороны победителей высказывается о тех, кто уже побежден - обезврежен, подстрижен и посажен. А высказывается он так: для верности - прикончить. Нэт человека - нэт проблемы. Отвернуться таким образом от собственной неправоты - ведь от хорошей жизни никто не идет взрываться в кафе. Не палестинские боевики нашли и завербовали этих девушек - нет, доведенные до тсступления, они сами пошли искать палестинских боевиков. Ну а кто ищет, тот найдет.

Armoured cars and tanks and guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man must stand behind
The men behind the wire

Through the little streets of Belfast
In the dark of early morn
British soldiers came marauding
Wrecking little homes with scorn

Heedless of the crying children
Cragging fathers from their beds
Beating sons while helpless mothers
Watched the blood poor from their heads

Not for them a judge and jury
Nor indeed a trial at all
But being Irish means youґre guilty
So weґre guilty one and all

Кагеро, тут все гораздо сложнее.

Радикалы с обеих сторон демонизируют друг друга. Обе стороны находятся в состоянии многолетнего стресса.
Как я писал в уделе, одна видит себя осажденным городом-крепостью, другая, по-моему, ощущает себя изгнанными из этой крепости жителями города, ютящимися в окрестных деревнях.

Кстати, тут есть неплохая статья, правда, написанная вероятно, с некоторым про-палестинским чувством.

FEATURE-Toys help Palestinian kids prepare for life of war
By Mohammed Assadi
JENIN, West Bank, March 10 (Reuters) - Ahmed Rami wanted to buy his six-year-old son alphabet blocks to help him read, but little Rami wanted a sleek black M-16 plastic rifle instead.
"I want to shoot at the (Israeli) army," Rami yelled at his father in the shop in the West Bank city of Jenin, a hotbed of militants who have been fighting Israel for more than three years.
Toy stores are packed with plastic arsenals of rifles, miniature tanks, missiles and artillery pieces. Outside, boys with toy guns organise street battles reminiscent of those fought between Palestinian gunmen and Israeli troops.
"I shot you, why didn't you play dead," one boy shouted at his playmate. "Your bullet missed me. I am lucky," his friend replied.
War games might be a perennial favourite of children across the world but many in the West Bank and Gaza Strip fear they could also be a symptom of a generation that sees no future but violence in the territories seized by Israel in the 1967 Middle East War and where Palestinians want a state.
SENSE OF POWER
"The child wants to identify himself with power and the message he wants to convey is that 'I am no longer weak'," said Mahmoud Sehwail, head of the Centre for Victims of Torture. "So the plastic rifle gives him a sense of security."
At least 2,380 Palestinians and 880 Israelis have been killed since an uprising began after peace talks stalled in 2000. Few see great prospects for the revival of negotiations with a U.S.-backed plan hampered by daily violence.
Palestinians who die in clashes with the Israelis and those who blow themselves up in suicide bombings are glorified as martyrs.
Rami's father, a taxi driver, said he was worried about his son's "militant attitude", but had failed to change his taste in toys.
"He was not like that (before)," he said. "But it seems that the curfews, incursions and checkpoints have changed the minds of our kids a lot."
Children, some dressed in military costumes, roam Jenin's alleys -- where damage from Israeli raids is plainly visible -- with plastic M-16 rifles slung over their shoulders.
Others lie on their stomachs and aim guns at playmates, mimicking Israeli troops searching for Palestinian militants.
"You cannot imagine how happy I am when I carry this," said eight-year-old Hosam, toting a plastic rifle. His classmate Bassam was killed by Israeli troops in 2002.
"Maybe when I get older, I will take revenge for him," Hosam said.
LONG-TERM DAMAGE
Surveys in the West Bank and Gaza Strip have shown that the conflict has taken a particular toll on children, with more than 55 percent starting to develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

A recent study of 12-year-old Palestinian children found that nearly a quarter wanted to die as suicide bombers in the fight against Israel.

Toy seller Midhat al-Mallah, hanging up a string of plastic M-16 rifles that sell for 10 shekels ($2.25) each, had toy cars and stuffed animals on offer, but said weapons were more popular.
"It is very rare that children ask for toys other than tanks, rifles, helicopters and pistols," he said. "Even girls want a toy gun."
Sehwail said children were drawn to guns after seeing scenes of Israeli troop incursions, pre-dawn house raids, and soldiers stopping Palestinians at military checkpoints.
"The consequences of these scenes will appear when those children become adults," he said.
