Hezbullah is recruiting child martyrs aged 10-15

YNet is reporting from Egyptian weekly Roz Al-Yusuf that Hezbullah has recruited some 2000 boys, children of 'shahids' aged 10-15, and that Hezbullah's “Mahadi Boy Scouts” organization is training them to sacrifice their lives. Just like when you and I were boy scouts, right?

“Hizbullah took pure children and established armed militias,” the report said. “Prior to the recent war with Israel these children made annual appearances as “December 14 Units” only in the framework of the Jerusalem Day celebrations, but today they are referred to as "future suicides."

“The children wear camouflage army uniforms, paint their faces black and take the Jihad and Holy War oath,” according to the report. “They are chosen by those responsible for recruitment to Hizbullah only because they are the children of shahids.”

The report said that the Mahadi Boy Scouts organization teaches the children Hizbullah and Shiite ideology, adding that their first lesson was titled ‘Israel is a temporary country.’

The weekly said top Hizbullah members have not denied the report.

Naim Qassam, Hizbullah Chief Hassan Nasrallah’s deputy, told Radio Canada that “a nation with suicide children is a victorious one. Israel cannot conquer us or desecrate our lands because we have shahids who will remove the Zionist filth. This will be done with the blood of the suicides.”

All of this for Shebaa Farms? I don't think so....

Someone better point this out to Israeli industrialist Stef Wertheimer, who thinks that Islamists will drop terrorism if they have jobs. I guess that having money doesn't make you smart.
