-RetweetHizb'Allah Child Abuse

Fri, Nov 21, 2003 at 3:31:10 pm PST

From a huge Hizb'Allah (Arabic for “Party of God”) demonstration in Beirut, children goosestepping like cute little Arab Nazis:

A young boy's unit of Hezbollah group take part in a military parade to mark Al-Quds Day 'Jerusalem Day', in a suburb south of Beirut, Lebanon, Friday, Nov. 21, 2003, which is held to coincide with the last Friday of the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

And toting guns like cute little chubby-cheeked murderous terrorists:

And where are the cries of outrage from the United Nations and world leaders?

... sound of crickets ...

He's gonna' trip over that shoelace.

Plus, the kid's got his finger on the trigger. Nice to see good gun hygiene taught from such an early age. NOT.

3 Aleksandr of New York  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 1:35:45pm

Yeah, and I wonder where he could possibly get the $1500 Heckler and Koch MP5. Wow, Israel sure does know how to impoverish the whole region!
/sarcasm

SHAME ! THE GUN IS AN HK MP5 !!! WHO IS SELLING WESTERN TOP GUNS , actually, the best, TO THESE $@#%@$#@$@$@%$# ???

5 Kylaer  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 1:37:22pm

That gun in the second image - real, or replica? I'm not the expert that some of the people on this forum are, but it looks like he's holding it very easily. I also believe I see screw-holes in the frame, which an actual MP5 would probably not have. Thus, I'd guess replica.

Still looks real enough to be mistaken for an actual gun by someone in a firefight, which is no doubt their exact intention.

6 veebee  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 1:37:39pm

The boy in the second picture is stricking a Che pose.

7 Gary of Carlsbad  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 1:40:25pm

Any guess on the lifespan of these poor kids? I just hope they don't take any innocents with them when they go.

8 Dom  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 1:41:03pm

This is traumatic, abusive, frankly murderous and categorically presents mass destruction as well as any weapon. These kids have a right to Israeli protection from Arafat's gangs. But what chance a UN vote on the protection from Arabs of Palestinian kids? How does that help delegitimise Israel in the slightest?

So, I expect it to continue pretty much unchallenged outside of LGF.

9 Kylaer  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 1:41:22pm

Oh, here's another thing: everyone who screams that the war on terrorism is all about "oppressing the brown people" should take a look at that second kid's face. He's no darker than I am.

10 Poitiers-Lepanto  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 1:42:12pm

There is a mistake, the pictures come from California and the little guys are said to be looking for a famous pop star...
(OK, I try to laugh...)

11 RightIsRight  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 1:50:02pm

The gun is fake

12 veebee  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 1:50:06pm
Any guess on the lifespan of these poor kids?

Prior to the advance of this war, the lifespan for both men and women in the Pal Arab territories was higher then for the rest of Arabs. (Proximity to Jewish doctors, you know). I haven't seen more recent data, but I don't imagine it's much lower now. The death rate among general population is very low, only few terrorists get killed or kill themselves. If you look at the large picture, there is no humanitarian tragedy, you know.

13 Jheka  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 1:52:09pm

If this was happening under the sanction of the Israeli government or even the U.S., the world would be screaming bloody murder. The U.N. would have a resolution, passed unanimously, to condemn the abuse of these children. The EU would let its voice be heard and Powell would be talking to anyone who would listen about the dressing down he gave Sharon for Israel's unwarranted and unhelpful militarism.

As it is, a tiny number of people will know or care. Why?

Because the world does not hate the terrorists the way that it hates Israel and the Jews and, notably, the world doesn't give a damn about Arab children, except in those instances where their suffering or deaths can be tied in some even remotely tangential way to actual or perceived Israeli or Jewish misdeeds.

16 brianstien  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 1:58:13pm

I'm reminded of the final scene in Field Of Dreams, where Kevin Costner says "Hey Dad - Wanna have a catch?"

The Arab analogue would make the appropriate cultural adjustment (baseball gloves replaced with Kalishnikovs): "Hey Dad - Wanna kill some Jews?"

Heartwarming.

17 RWC- Abu Aljazeera Editor  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 2:00:49pm

Of course they have to stick that "holy month" bullsh*t into the article. Its ramadan you f'in newsies, not the "Holy month" of ramadan. Stop cowering and bowing down to this scum.

18 Right Wing Conspirator  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 2:02:50pm

What the hell, are they color coding their martyrs now.

19 Dom  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 2:03:28pm

#7 Well, in a moment of hilarity the kid in the top picture tripped over his shoelaces and landed on his chicken winged arms and is now banned from exploding for the next three months. At least three months, that one.

20 ytf  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 2:24:58pm

Could be that the "HK" is actually a 6mm Airsoft peashooter. But Idunno; and of course that's the whole point. Just as with the FSU May Day parades, you're supposed to believe all the stuff paraded is real. My favorite airsoft store is sold out. COINCIDENCE? [Cue musical sting]

See all the holes in the gun? They are screw holes to hold the two pieces of plastic together.

22 Bubbaman  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 2:36:45pm

sez:

It's a fake. Still this doesn't diminish the gravity of the situation. These pictures need to land on the desks of every elected official in this country.

Wanna see a real MP5?

23 Thoroughly Modern Hillbilly?  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 2:42:40pm

Are these the smooth and hairless boys that will be waiting to service the brave freedom fighters in paradise? (Where is that in the Koran? Somebody have a link?)

Sick stuff - however my kids, like me, raised in a law enforcement family, will be learning to handle firearms at about the same age - of course we can do without the goose-stepping. And we probably won't celebrate the "Holy Month" of Christmas by marching through the town shouting death threats.

24 GT Charlie  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 2:44:22pm
And toting guns like cute little chubby-cheeked murderous terrorists:

His mommy got the whiskers wrong. They're supposed to radiate from the cheeks, not the jowels.

And where did he get the HK 94? I can't buy an HK 94 because it's an "assault rifle", but this child can parade around with it in what is arguably the most murder happy country in the world.

That sure is one pudgy starving oppressed junior jihadi. His hands are fat for cristsake.

27 zulubaby  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 2:54:27pm

I find this horrifying. These children are being groomed to kill Jews. It would sadden me if I wasn't so busy being sick about it. Islamists are today's Nazis. It's already too late for these children, they've been poisoned, and I don't care if those guns are real or fake, they're comfortable holding them. Everything about this is disgusting and twisted. It's not normal for parents to do this to their children.

28 dgd  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 3:10:34pm

Never trust a culture whose children goose step. While these kids are doing this children in the West are learning to play soccer, baseball, swim, play chess or checkers. ETC.

Makes me so mad.

I will be e-mailing these pictures to every reporter who whites favorably about the Palis

So we can expect to see this child abuse (on a grand scale) discussed on the evening news tonight. Right?

So we can expect to see this child abuse (on a grand scale) discussed on the evening news tonight. Right?

Only in the context of what may or may not have happened at Neverland Ranch. Don't lose sight of what's really important.

32 badanov  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 4:23:42pm

Not meaning to be picky, but I guess the kid in the first picture didn't receive equipment inspection before marching: His shoe is untied.

Do they make then drop down and give 25 in Muslimania?

Why can't A.N.S.W.E.R. sell them that latest model of the pink tank we saw in London?

34 Joel  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 4:46:06pm

That second kid is really jowely isn't he?

OT - on Hannity & Colmes and following on Greta Van Susteren, all they are talking about is that weirdo Michael Jackson. Fox has really disappointed me.

35 CAM  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 4:52:19pm

I can't help but believe the German Fascists looked as silly, and seemingly harmless, in the mid-30s. As unbelievably ridiculous as this looks, someday humanity may look back at this in the context of a fourth World War initiated and perpetrated by simpletons intent on turning back the clock of history. Fanaticism, like cancer, doesn't go away when ignored but only increases in lethality and perniciousness.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A 16-year-old boy was shot by police who mistook his water pistol for a real weapon, with one of the officers firing all 16 rounds in his gun. Michael Jones was in critical condition Monday. He was shot early Sunday after encountering police while he rode his bicycle. He was hit six times in the legs.
    Police were looking for the boy after an off-duty police officer reported he was pointing a gun at people and cars... Police Commissioner Howard Safir supported his officers. "Certainly at 2:30 in the morning it would not be unreasonable to believe this was a real weapon," Safir said, holding up Jones' water pistol and a 9mm MP5 submachine gun. It is illegal in the city to sell or possess a toy gun that looks real or is painted black...

Yeah, but almost everything on LGF is hot-linked, no? I've had trouble in the past with not archiving websites on my hard-drive, then having some creative Beebesque webmaster come along and delete (or edit) the online file. Anyone documenting this type of behavior (let alone the content) for a publishable paper needs the proof, eh? It'd be interesting to see how much of the archived LGF links still exists.

They seem to march with their hands just in front of their waists. I can't think it's really about belts, is that normal, anywhere?

Chubby-cheeked indeed. I thought Israel was supposed to be starving these little bastards?!

I have local copies of every photo posted at LGF. I don't have local copies of every article -- it would take too much server space to do that. But that's why I post extensive quotes from articles, so that I have records of the pertinent sections.

And the next level of horror about this is: the Pali kids are chubby and their heads are stuffed with Jew hatred and lust for Jew killing.
Our kids are chubby from fast food and junk food, but their heads are empty from watching mind-numbing TV and movies and attending dumbed down classes.

Education for democracy? Fat chance.

50 DarthMaulrulesok  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 8:03:11pm

Hello one and all:

I would like to add a couple of points.

1. Don't underestimate these kids. In a few years they will be well trained, thouroughly indoctrinated terrorists, every bit as dangerous as the Hitler Youth (whose members eventually became the SS.)
2. Please, Charles, have copies of these ready to be forwarded to the next fools who complain about "Israeli soldiers klling Arab children".
3. If we (the US) go to Lebannon to clean out the terror bases, or if we ever agree to police a future Israeli-Palestinian peace treaty, THESE are the terrorists who will probably be sent against our troops. Remember, for the Arabs child terrorists are a win-win proposition: If they succeed in killing Americans (or Israelis) great. If they are killed they become superb propaganda.
4. If they are practicing with toy guns now, IT DOES NOT MATTER. They will train with real ones soon enough.

51 Geepers  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 8:20:11pm

observer (#49),

This quote from James Thurber needs to be updated.

The difference between our decadence and the Russians is that while theirs is brutal, ours is apathetic.

Our apathy beat the Russian's brutality, hopefully it will be as successful against the Islamists'.

52 longhunter  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 8:29:56pm

The modern day Canaanites are just practicising an updated version of their religion. This is just a new twist on the rite of "passing your children through the fire" to appease Molech.

Kipling got it right about man's proclivity to periodically reembrace old ways that are self destructive and which those photos illustrate quite graphically.

"As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man---
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began: ---
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wobbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!"

When the Gods of the Copybook Headings return to correct all this insanity, it won't be pretty!

But the point is, if they look like real guns, they're real targets. Bummer.

54 Jewish and proud  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 11:11:09pm

I wish just wish these kids would turn their guns on their teachers. Isn't jihad and martyrdom honorable anyways? Then these children might have a chance to free themselves from the hate they have been taught by their role models. What loving parent would allow their kid to march with a gun. What a sad world when a 7 year old knows how to handle an MP5

55 ashan  Fri, Nov 21, 2003 11:49:53pm

Israel's Channel 2 showed the film of this march of the abused kids/future killers. The kids were shouting slogans like "Israel must be destroyed". I guess these kids are getting the kind of education the UN, the EU and all those kid-protective NGOs approve of. I suppose their education also consists of handling explosives and making bombs.

as I was looking at this, my 8 year old walked by. He asked about the pictures so I explained it to him.

"The people who'd teach kids that, need to be thrown in jail, Mom."

...outta the mouth of babes. How come it's easy for him to see and not for the UN? the EU? etc.

On the Reuters feed here at work, I've got all of these shots, plus ranks of the grown-up Hizbollah militia doing a straight-up fascist stiff-arm salute at the same rally.

Does the connection need to be made any more explicit?

Does it?
