How to turn a child into a violent death-loving fanatic:

The Jerusalem Post has an AP story on this demonstration by Israel’s partners in peace: Palestinian children demonstrate against Denmark. (Hat tip: Bubbaman.)

Hundreds of Palestinian schoolchildren, some as young as 4 years old, stomped on a Danish flag and shouted anti-Danish slogans on Monday to protest the recent publication of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad in European newspapers.

Monday’s protest was organized by a school affiliated with the Islamic militant group Hamas, which is poised to lead the next Palestinian government after its sweeping victory in last month’s legislative elections.

About 500 children, ranging from kindergarten students to young teenagers, joined Monday’s protest. The students methodically trampled over a large Danish flag placed on the ground. Many waved green Hamas flags or wore trademark Hamas headbands.

The crowd also carried a mock coffin with “Denmark” written on it, shouted anti-Danish slogans and called for a boycott of Danish products. “With our soul, we will redeem our prophet,” they chanted.
