Steve, the point I made, which you have attempted to snow everyone here with off the mark repostings, is that the PLO DOES recruit children to use and bear arms (making it likely they will GET shot by the IDF), recruits children to smuggle arms, recruits children to become shehadas or "holy martyrs" by being killed in the act of fighting against infidels--namely the Jewish people in Israel.

As for your contention that Israel is unable to stop the attacks against the Israeli people, both the security fence has dramatically dropped the number of attacks and the resulting death toll by its passive resistance. Also, recent developments where Israel has agreed to stop targeting the leaders of Hamas if they will stop the murderous attacks against Israeli civilians, show that the IDF policy may indeed be working to stop the violence.
