Teen Suicide Bombers

A 16-year-old suicide bomber was stopped today in Israel:

A 16-year-old Palestinian with a suicide bomb vest strapped to his body was caught at a crowded West Bank checkpoint Wednesday, setting off a tense encounter with Israeli soldiers whom the army said he was sent to kill.

Over at the Volokh Conspiracy, David Bernstein points out the following:

This is not an anomaly, but the final product of years of brainwashing in Palestinian schools and media, glorifying "shaheeds" and telling children that their greatest duty is to become shaheeds. This short video, well worth viewing, shows what Palestinian children are taught. Can Palestinian society become any sicker? Israel's security barrier can't be built soon enough.

You need to watch the video...

How is this worse than hearing Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson incite people to blow up clinics, murder doctors and dehumanize homosexuals and libruls in every conceivable way?
