Point brought up before was that it's inexcusable to exploit children in such a way durring a conflict. Enter Mael to do what? What I saw in response amounted to the third definition.

As much as you want to bring up the conditions of Palestinians and Israeli occupation, it does not excuse what many militant groups have done by seducing children into destroying themselves. The parents of these very children, who's remains had to be mopped up, agree.

Therefore you either brought that up in part of a rant, or as to justify the practice of manipulating children into doing such horrible acts by talking about the worth of land or living conditions. Just because you wouldn't do it yourself doesn't mean you can't sit back and defend/justify the practice of through reasoning. Sometimes people get so carried away with being on the otherside of a debate that they lose track of what they're fighting for in an arguement.

I guess that being born in a refugee camp and watching your children live and die in a refugee camp makes for some changes in the mindset of what people are willing to do to counter their opression (unless of course, palestinians really aren't being repressed). I guess that many would rather see their children dead than trampled on. Many prefer the idea of their children dying to being killed by mindless twats following orders ('cause that's what it comes down to when trying to prosecute military personel, as the case of the schoolgirl evidently showed: the prosecution witnesses were soldiers themselves [bless the ones with a heart inside their chests] and yet...)

What I mean is, we seem to hold here the whole of the palestinian population hostage to the actions of a few, but we can't seem to be able to condone Israel for the actions of a nation while represented by its armed forces.

It's either justification by pointing at Israel, or it's an off-topic rant.

It already is different for me with some and no actual need for it.
As for those with none and a real need for it...

This is where you just stop short of actually coming out and saying what you have to say. This is why I'm wanting clarification here, Mael. How is it different in relation to my point? It's ok for someone with a real need to seduce a child into wearing a bomb belt and destroying themselves? Is that what you were going to say? Otherwise this has nothing to do with the topic of child suicide bombers if it's different in other respects. Therefor it falls into the category of "off-topic rant."
