	This is an absurdity.  If the parents would stop sending children
out to throw stones, the Israeli soldiers would not fire guns.  After
all, how many stone throwers were fired on before there were stone
throwers?

	I agree it has failed.  The Israeli government has been to soft,
weak, and whimpy, which has only encouraged more "palestinian?"
violence.

	Whether or not this is true, false, sarcastic or not is irelevent.
It is relevent, however, that "palestinian?" parents are commiting
child abuse.

	They are there because of wars and threats that were and are Arab

	They are not being shot.  Nothing is being done to them.  However,
I can just imagine the outcry from you and others if Israel did try to
arrest them.
