Palestinian Protests In Europe: The Further Exploitation of Children
Once again we find where the most innocent of innocents, children, are being victimized and exploited by those who protest the Israeli siege of Gaza.
Yesterday I wrote about the Palestinian children who are used as human shields by Hamas during the Israeli siege against Gaza. I also pointed out that children are being indoctrinated as future terrorists by way of cartoons and t.v. shows and that Hamas has been “upfront” in its desire to be the “culture of death” and eventual “ruler of the world”.
Now we find that children are being exploited by Palestinian supporters in Europe.
During a pro-Palestinian rally in Brussells, children were rounded up in groups then forced to read slogans they clearly did not understand.
Children were forced to carry banners and placards with messages of hate, while others were forced to wave flags of the terrorist organization of Hezbollah.
Children were allowed to set fire to an Israeli flag then watched as adults stamped on it chanting “Allahu Akhbar”.
The most shocking exploitation of the children: at the end of the “demonstration”, the children were forced to lie on the ground in a “die-in” symbolizing the children who had perished in Gaza. Yet how many children have died as the result of being used as “human shields”?
The European Strategic Intelligence and Security Center has called attention to the exploitation of the children during these protests:
The ESISC questions the General Delegate for Children’s Rights and the presidents of the democratic Belgian parties on the exploitation of children in solidarity demonstrations with Gaza.
Claude Moniquet and Genovefa Etienne, president and vice-president of the ESISC, write on Monday, Jan. 12, 2009 to Mr. Bernard De Vos, General Delegate for Children’s Rights in the French Community in Belgium; Mr. Elio Di Rupo, president of the Socialist Party; Ms. Joëlle Milquet, president of the Humanist Democratic Centre; Mr Didier Reynders, president of the Reformist Movement and Isabelle Durant and Jean-Michel Javaux, presidents of EcOLO (Green Party), to ask them to take a stand on the exploitation of children in protests of solidarity with Gaza.
The blog, Islam in Europe, has found where children were once again exploited by Palestinian protesters, this time in Oslo, Norway:
Children were rounded up and forced to be “in front” of a demonstration in Oslo at the Israeli embassy. The children’s t-shirts and hands were painted a “blood red”. According to the organizers, the children were used to keep the protest from becoming “violent”. Yet another instance of hiding behind children.
Erling Lae, council head in Oslo, doesn’t want to see children used in this way in another demonstration again.
“In this case children were intentionally used as shields. It was very unwise and I don’t want this to repeat itself. I want to call upon the organizers of the demonstrations like this not to bring children in the future, and in any case, not first in a procession, knowing that it can cause dangerous situations,” he told Dagbladet.
The world is beginning to learn of the exploitation and victimization of children by terrorist groups such as Hamas. Yesterday I pointed out that the government of Egypt had called Hamas “cowards” who hid in underground bunkers and used children as human shields.
An apt description, as the same applies to those who make children stand in front of protest rallies then force them to chant slogans of hate, as well as force them to wear “bloody” t-shirts and lie on the ground in a mock “die-in”.
Once again we see people who portray themselves as victims who victimize children to further their agenda.
The motive of these protesters is quite clear: they believe the world will see the children as victims of Israel, yet some see this charade quite differently: adults who are willing to harm children in order to further their own goal.
